Frequently Asked Questions

What are oil and gas mineral rights?

Oil and gas mineral rights are legal rights associated with underground resources, including the ability to explore for, produce, lease, or receive income from those resources, depending on the ownership structure. Mineral rights can be separate from surface ownership. A direct development investment is different from personally owning mineral rights, so investors should review the offering documents to understand exactly what interest they hold.
