Why Appraise Your Mineral and Leasehold Rights?

At Bison Energy Consulting, we recognize that understanding the true value of your oil & gas mineral, and leasehold rights is crucial for making informed financial, legal, and strategic decisions. We provide appraisals that meet USPSP standards, using trusted methods and income projections (estimating future cash flows, adjusted for risk and time). Here’s why mineral and leasehold owners turn to us for appraisals:

• Selling or Transferring Ownership: Our appraisals ensure you secure a fair price when selling mineral or leasehold rights, negotiating with buyers, or transferring assets to family, trusts, or business partners. We help avoid under- or overvaluation, particularly in non-arm’s length transactions, giving you confidence in every deal.

• Estate Planning and Probate: For inheritance, gifting, or probate, we deliver accurate valuations of mineral and leasehold interests to comply with IRS guidelines, minimizing audit risks during asset distribution or marital dissolution.

• Tax Reporting and Compliance: We provide precise appraisals for IRS-related needs, such as estate taxes, capital gains calculations (including past sales), or reporting transfers like gifting or trust placements, ensuring your mineral and leasehold documentation meets federal standards.

• Leasing Mineral or Leasehold Rights: Our valuations help you assess lease terms with oil and gas companies, estimate royalty potential for both mineral and leasehold interests, and decide if leasing aligns with your financial goals.

• Government or Program Eligibility: For programs like Medicaid, where mineral and leasehold values affect asset thresholds, our appraisals ensure accurate reporting to maintain eligibility and avoid legal complications.

• Strategic Decision-Making: Gain clarity on the worth of your mineral and leasehold assets, especially for smaller interests that may not justify ongoing management, or to evaluate risks like declining production or lease expiration.

With Bison Energy Consulting, you get personalized, transparent appraisals tailored to your mineral and leasehold needs. Contact us today to discover how we can help you unlock the full value of your energy assets.
