ABOUT US

MANAGEMENT SERVICES

In addition to acquisitions, Dune provides management services that concentrate on helping mineral and royalty owners receive the highest possible returns on their interests. Negotiating the fine print of an Oil & Gas Lease or Production Sharing Agreement can be difficult. Our understanding of lease negotiations and contractual agreements, coupled with our relationships in the Permian, can help put you in the best possible position.

BENEFITS OF SELLING

The Oil and Gas Industry is no stranger to volatility. Advancements in renewable energies, production hikes by OPEC+, and the ever-increasing regulations placed on the oil industry paint a picture of uncertainty. Selling all or a portion of your interest allows you to hedge against these uncertainties by locking in the value of your asset today.

Volatility

Whether it's saving for your children's college tuition, planning for retirement, or looking to invest in the property of your dreams, a full or partial divestiture can help free up much needed capital. With our proprietary valuation, verification, and closing process, you can receive payment in as little as one week.

Capital

Mineral and royalty interests are depleting assets. The present value of these assets can reduce significantly over time and depending on market conditions, may diminish as much as 25% in a year. Selling all or a portion of your interest can help balance your portfolio into more secure investments.

Depleting Asset

Selling your mineral and royalty interests can provide unique opportunities to mitigate, defer, and in some cases eliminate taxes. Depending on when you took possession, how it was acquired, and how you intend to sell the interests, a full or partial divestiture can keep more money in your pockets. Conversely, choosing to retain your producing mineral and royalty interests can possess significant tax implications. Revenue received from mineral and royalty interests are taxed as normal income which, depending on local, state, and federal taxes, can be upwards of 40%.

Tax Incentives

Estate Management

Mineral and royalty interest left in an Estate can pose significant challenges to the Estate's beneficiaries. Excess paperwork can become burdensome and failure to stay current on local and state regulations can result in the interest being seized and levied upon. Dune offers cash payments to make the administration and closing of the Estate as easy as possible.
