https://mineralrightspodcast.com/mrp-269-understanding-royalty-based-loans-a-guide-for-mineral-owners/While borrowing against oil and gas royalties isn't widely discussed among mineral owners, it is an important financing option for those receiving regular royalty payments. This practice, known as Reserve Based Lending (RBL), has been common in the oil and gas industry for decades but is now becoming more accessible to individual royalty owners. Understanding how these loans work, their requirements, and their risks can help large mineral owners make informed decisions about leveraging their royalty income without having to sell their valuable mineral interests. We also discuss other options for borrowing against modest royalty income, but that may come with counterparty risk to consider.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recently finalized the Biden administration's new tax on methane emissions from oil and gas operations, raising important questions for royalty owners about potential impacts on their royalty payments in the form of additional post-production deductions. And while this rule may get overturned by the GOP majority in the house, in the meantime operators may still need to report emissions for 2024.

Natural gas currently trades at a massive discount to crude oil based on its energy content. While oil has been hovering at around $70 per barrel, natural gas trades at just over $3 per thousand cubic feet (mcf). We talk about how this pricing disconnect is creating opportunities as two major new demand sources emerge: AI data centers requiring reliable power and innovative gas-to-liquid technologies that can convert natural gas directly into gasoline and other fuels.

When you grant a portion of your royalty right to someone without granting any of the other rights, you are granting what is called a Non-Participating Royalty Interest (NPRI). It does not “participate” in the ability to receive bonus payment or delay rentals, or the executive rights. A Non-Participating Royalty Interest or NPRI allows the owner to receive a portion of the royalty payments from any oil and gas that is sold but does not give them the right to lease the associated mineral rights. In this episode, we dive into the world of NPRI's and the difference between "floating" and "fixed" NPRI's and what you need to know if you own an NPRI or if you own mineral rights that are burdened by an NPRI.

As a royalty interest owner, you need to be on the lookout for a new type of deceptive scam that's been making the rounds - the "term royalty deed" scheme. This tricky tactic is preying on unsuspecting mineral owners, so it's crucial to understand how it works so you don't fall victim. Experts in the mineral rights space have been sounding the alarm on this scam, which involves a particular unscrupulous landman acquiring what appears to be a simple one-year "term royalty assignment" from mineral owners. However, the fine print in these agreements is where the deception lies. Listen to learn more. As always, links to the resources mentioned in this episode can be found at mineralrightspodcast.com.

Currently, the United States is experiencing a natural gas boom. We have so much gas that in some areas, prices have even gone negative. This oversupply has led to wasteful practices like flaring, where excess gas is burned off at well sites. Did you know that based on energy content alone, natural gas should be priced at about one-sixth the price of oil. However, gas is currently trading much lower than this ratio would suggest. This price disparity creates an opportunity for innovative solutions. We talk about how an amazing technology that has been around for over 100 years is being piloted in the Permian Basin to convert excess natural gas to valuable products like gasoline.
