You might want cash to improve your home, pay off debt, finance your children's education or realize the cash value of your assets today.

There are three primary types of Mineral Rights. Momentum Minerals, we can help you determine what type of rights you own:
Mineral Rights
Mineral rights grant ownership to all of the oil and gas lying below the surface of the property, as well as the right to explore, drill, and produce oil and natural gas on that property or to lease such rights to a third party. Typically, mineral rights are perpetual.
Overriding Royalty Interests (ORRI)
Overriding royalty interests are royalty interests that burden the working interests of a lease and represent the right to receive a fixed percentage of production or revenue from production from a lease. Overriding royalty interests are non-perpetual, and the right to develop minerals reverts to the mineral owners when the initial lease term expires.
Nonparticipating Royalty Interest (NPRI)
A non-participating royalty interest owner has a right to all or a portion of the royalty from gross production, but does not have the right to execute a lease, receive a bonus or any delay rentals. An NPRI owner also does not have the right to produce the minerals by himself, and they are not responsible for the operational costs associated with production or drilling. An NPRI has fewer rights than a ‘regular’ mineral rights owner as they do not have the right to make decisions related to the execution of leases. Other mineral rights owners generally participate in at least one of the previously mentioned activities.

County Clerk’s offices have a record in their vaults that contains deeds for all their properties. While some matters may take additional research to confirm specifics, using professional help is always advised.
