No. The valuation and written offer are free with no obligation. If you sell, there are no broker commissions — Buckhead Energy is a direct buyer purchasing with its own capital, and we pay all title and closing costs.
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 New Mexico payors by wells operated are Hilcorp Energy Company, Eog Resources, and Oxy. A royalty check from any New Mexico payor is proof of a producing, sellable interest — Buckhead Energy buys mineral and royalty interests under every operator in the state.
Two minutes to start. A written offer to consider — no cost, no obligation, no pressure.
