Six (6) New Permits -- December 7, 2015

A reader just sent me a note telling me he received a very nice offer for his minerals up in the Bakken. He says a lot of landmen and others are trying to buy mineral acres "on the cheap" citing slump in oil prices, etc. Just a word of caution: apparently "good" Bakken is still going for nice rates; be very, very careful in this environment if you are a seller.

There are some interesting auction sites for selling minerals which, based on the reader's note, provide some insight into how much one's minerals might be worth. I assume blogs / sites for mineral owners would be a good place to start. If this is a significant financial endeavor, I think most would highly recommend professional advice.
