HONEST | RELIABLE Â EXPERIENCED
VP Minerals aggregates diversified portfolios of energy assets to distribute the concentrated asset risk present to individuals, families and entities who own passive energy reserves.  Moreover, passive owners cannot economically justify professional management of these assets which get diluted over time and therefore lose value.  We provide lump sum cash offers today, rather than receive small checks over multiple years.
FAIR | TRANSPARENT | FOCUSED
We are committed to helping our clients achieve the best solutions for their financial goals by facilitating oil & gas interest sales and acquisitions. Our mission is to provide royalty owners with guidance and informed answers that may help them reach their financial goals through diversification to protect principal and minimize downside risk created in volatile energy markets.
​
The reasons folks sell ... there is no right answer:
Immediate payout to take chips off the table and reduce risk
Portfolio diversification
Satisfy estate issues
Liquidate non-core portfolio holdings
Misaligned management incentives
Focus on larger properties, divest smaller deals which consume overhead and time
Opportunity cost of capital
Restructure portfolio and pay down existing debt
Sell depleting asset with fixed costs
Avoid higher future tax rates on gains
