Unlocking Value: Navigating Non-Op Royalties and Minerals in the Oil & Gas Industry

Join us for an insightful event exploring the dynamic landscape of non-ops and mineral companies in 2024. Discover why these companies are poised for success, what makes leading businesses stand out, and gain expert commentary on the latest minerals and royalty transactions. We’ll delve into the merits of pureplay versus multi-basin strategies, the challenges of managing non-op/mineral companies, and how industry leaders mitigate risks. Learn about the evolving role of private equity, changes in company strategies, and the intricacies of making deals in today’s market. Our discussions will cover asset evaluation, investment decision factors, due diligence challenges, and the importance of ESG in company portfolios. We’ll also explore joint venture success factors, exit planning, growth potential, and the future of M&A activity. Don’t miss this opportunity to understand emerging trends and investor expectations in the non-op and mineral space.

Abstract: Include “What is the one idea you would like the members to take away from this lecture?

“Our industry’s innovation to successfully frac and produce from shale, the source rock for hydrocarbons, has dramatically changed global energy access and geopolitical balances. The North American shale industry has relentlessly pushed for a lower cost to bring a barrel of oil ($/bbl) or a cubic foot of natural gas ($/scf) to the surface. This reduction has greatly benefitted world energy consumers.

The dramatic reduction in this cost ratio is sourced in two metrics. First, cost of drilling and completion has been cut in about half for shale wells over the last decade through efficiency gains and innovations in workflow. Second, well production has roughly doubled through a focus to increase both the extent and intensity of the created hydraulic fracture system.

This North American track record of innovation, operational learnings and engineering optimization contains lessons learned for other shale basins around the world. One idea members will take away from this presentation is that our industry is capable of wide-ranging and rapid innovation when free market forces are unleashed to produce the cheapest barrel
possible.
