Compare at least two written offers, and ask each buyer to explain how it valued your interest — production history, decline, operator activity, and your decimal interest should all figure in. Our guide to fair pricing walks through each factor.
The company named on your royalty check stub is your payor — usually the well operator. The largest Montana payors by wells operated are Ridge Oil & Gas, Fidelity Exploration & Production Company, and Northwestern. A royalty check from any Montana payor is proof of a producing, sellable interest — Buckhead Energy buys mineral and royalty interests under every operator in the state.
