  1. What does Black Diamond Minerals do?
    Black Diamond Minerals specializes in acquiring, managing, and optimizing mineral and royalty interests across key oil and gas producing regions in the United States. We provide mineral owners with competitive offers and long-term value.
  2. What are mineral rights?
    Mineral rights refer to the ownership of subsurface resources such as oil, gas, and other minerals. These rights allow the owner to lease, sell, or collect royalties from resource extraction on their land.
  3. What is a royalty interest?
    A royalty interest is a type of ownership that entitles you to a portion of the revenue generated from oil and gas production, without having to pay for drilling or operational expenses.
  4. How do I know if I should sell my mineral rights?
    Selling your mineral rights may be a good choice if you prefer a lump-sum payment, want to diversify your investments, or are uncertain about future production. Our team can evaluate your interests and provide a fair-market offer.
  5. How does Black Diamond Minerals determine the value of mineral rights?
    We assess multiple factors including location, production history, commodity prices, operator performance, and geology. Each offer is tailored to reflect the true value of your asset.
  6. Will selling my mineral rights affect my surface land ownership?
    No. Selling mineral rights does not affect surface rights. You retain ownership of the surface property unless both are sold together, which is uncommon.
  7. What areas of the U.S. do you invest in?
    We focus on top shale plays such as the Eagle Ford, Permian Basin, Marcellus, Haynesville, and other proven oil and gas basins across the country.
  8. Do I need a lawyer to sell my mineral rights?
    While not required, having legal counsel can be helpful. We work with mineral owners and their attorneys to ensure a smooth and transparent transaction process.
  9. How quickly can I sell my mineral rights to Black Diamond Minerals?
    In many cases, we can complete the transaction within 30 days, depending on the complexity and title verification of the asset.
