Mineral Rights Valuation Mineral royalties are often valued for Estates, Litigation, and for taxation or taking purposes. Your CPA may value an income stream but the general rule is that those valuations are more than the market value for producing property and less than market value for non-producing (exploration) property. The reason is that production tends to decline with time therefore, royalty income is a declining income stream in most cases.Also, mineral appraisers with a geological background can make some judgments about the long-term potential of such royalty or mineral holdings. In the market of 2020 and beyond, the collapse of the oil industry will almost certainly result in renewed purchasing of oil from overseas. That and a weakening dollar will result in renewed demand for oil. Hang onto your minerals, if not for you, perhaps for the next generation. And manage them. Know what you have.
To properly do an oil and gas appraisal, the appraiser function is usually best separated from the estimating function. The estimating function sets up the parameters or forecast of the income stream by estimating the remaining reserves, known as the “decline curve”. That function is usually performed by a qualified reservoir engineer or geologist experienced in estimating probable production. The appraising function takes the estimate above and translates it into a traditional appraisal using the Income, Sales, and Cost approaches (actually the Cost Approach is rarely applicable.) |

Having problems correlating your well? Are your mudloggers unfamiliar with the Arkoma Basin? I have 20 years experience in the basin as well as experience in the Mississippian Embayment at the extreme edges of the Fayetteville Shale Play. I have examined well samples from over 20 wells in Woodruff, Lee, Cross, Crittenden, and White Counties as well as numerous wells and logs from Faulkner, Conway, Van Buren, and Pope County. I also have experience with both mud and air-drilled shallow wells in E. Oklahoma and Arkansas. We have scope, will travel. Expertise and experience in SW Colorado, Arkansas, E & W Texas, and all of Oklahoma. Terrel Shields
