Why Sell to Silver Creek?
Reduce Risk
Oil and gas is a boom and bust industry and comes with many risks. By selling your minerals, you could receive cash now as opposed to potentially receiving declining monthly cash payments. Selling your minerals now can increase certainty in your future financial planning.
Upfront Cash
Selling your minerals converts property with inherent uncertainty into a cash lump sum today. You can also diversify your assets by only selling a portion of your minerals and receive cash now and potential monthly royalty payments in the future.
Estate Management
Leaving cash to your heirs is often much simpler and less expensive than dividing an oil and gas mineral estate.
Tax Benefits
Oil and gas lease bonus payments and royalties are generally taxed as ordinary income. If you sell your minerals, the income will likely be taxed at historically low long-term capital gains rates if you have owned the minerals for more than one year.
Simplification
Selling your minerals can simplify your life by reducing paperwork. Owning oil and gas minerals can involve a lot of time and effort, including: negotiating and signing a lease, signing division orders, tracking royalty payments, and preparing property and federal income tax forms. Additionally, if you are selling a portion of your minerals to us, we can potentially manage your remaining minerals for you.
Areas of Interest
Eagle Ford
The Eagle Ford is a calcareous shale located in the Gulf Coast Basin, and the play trends across South Texas from the Mexican border through East Texas. It has been heavily developed, with over 20,000 horizontal wells drilled since 2008, and it remains one of the most active plays in the country. The play offers attractive economics with large volumes of oil & gas production and attractive commodity pricing due to proximity to processing facilities and export terminals on the Gulf Coast.
Permian Basin
The Permian Basin is a large sedimentary basin located in South East New Mexico and West Texas, and is primarily made up of 3 areas: the Delaware Basin, Midland Basin, and Central Basin Platform. The Permian Basin spans over 86,000 square miles and contains over 7,000 fields. The Permian Basin is currently the most active basin in North America and has some of the highest rates of return with significant single well oil & gas production and multiple stacked pay zones.
Haynesville
The Haynesville is an organic rich shale that trends primarily across East Texas and North West Louisiana and spans over 9,000 square miles. The Haynesville is one of the most prolific gas plays and contains some of the largest recoverable gas reserves in North America. The Haynesville is deep, over-pressured, and it yields substantial gas volumes. The high gas production along with the favorable position of the play, with off-take to the Gulf Coast and LNG exports, make it one of the highest revenue generating plays.
SCOOP & STACK
The SCOOP (South Central Oklahoma Oil Province) and STACK (Sooner Trend Anadarko Canadian Kingfisher) are two major play areas located in the Anadarko Basin of Oklahoma, and contain multiple economic targets. The SCOOP and STACK are in earlier development stages than other plays such as the Eagle Ford and Permian, but boast some of the highest potential drilling locations. The low acreage costs, proximity to the Cushing oil hub, low water production, and multiple stacked pay zones have created economic opportunities for producers in recent years.
Bakken
The Bakken is a Devonian aged rock formation located in the Williston Basin. It is one of the largest contiguous oil deposits in the US, spanning over 200,000 square miles and trending throughout Western North Dakota, Eastern Montana, and into Canada. The Bakken was known to be a source rock, but technological developments allowed for economic production of oil and gas from the Bakken in recent years. Well productivity from the Bakken is comparable to wells in the Eagle Ford and Permian.
