PayDayMinerals.com, buyers of mineral rights
Do you own mineral rights? PayDayMinerals.com pays cash for mineral rights to land in oil and gas producing areas of the United States. At this time, our focus is the Haynesville shale play (also Bossier shale play) in East Texas and North Louisiana. However, we buy elsewhere, too.

Why would anyone consider selling mineral rights?
  1. A bird in the hand is worth... a lot! Cash money is a sure thing. There is no guarantee that any one tract of land will have a well drilled on it. Plus, oil and gas exploration is a very risky business. Some wells that are drilled are "dry holes," meaning no oil or gas is found. If you sell, you have the sure thing -- cash money. By selling, you are selling risk to the purchaser.
  2. If one is up in age, reaping a cash windfall allows you to enjoy your asset while you are alive. You can't take it with you!
  3. Enjoying a cash payday can pay off debt or buy something you need or provide for your children's education.
  4. Perhaps you missed out on a big lease bonus in an area such as the Bossier shale / Haynesville shale play. Selling some mineral rights allows you to enjoy a big payday.
  5. A sale of mineral rights is considered capital gains, tax-wise, and the tax rate is only 15%. If you lease land, the income is taxed as regular income.
  6. Oil and gas prices are volatile. In the fall of 2008, the biggest crash in the history of the oil & gas business occurred. It's just a risky business! And prices are also subject to political swings. If the government puts heavy burdens on the oil and gas industry, prices could fall further. Thus, cash in hand, sure money from a sale of minerals, is appealing, as it minimizes risk.
  7. Alternative energy research has been kicked into overdrive by higher oil and gas prices. If a major research breakthrough occurs, oil and gas prices could plummet and never recover. There have already been two major announcements -- wind energy and solar energy. Some say that one recent solar energy research breakthrough could provide a large scale solution to our dependence on oil and gas. Another big announcement of late was growing algae commercially to produce oil. Suffice to say, alternative energy research is in high gear.
Why do we buy mineral rights? We are in the risk business. In the long run, if our evaluations are good, we will make a profit IF oil and gas prices do not crash from what they were when we made our evaluation. But for any given transaction, we sometimes lose it all. We speculate, hoping that an oil or gas well will be drilled on or near that property someday. And hoping that it finds oil or gas in commercial quantities. And hoping that oil and gas prices do not crash.

It's a risky business. Look at the history of oil and gas! As for the Haynesville / Bossier shale play, there is no guarantee that an oil or gas well will be drilled on any given tract in our lifetimes. Once it's drilled, even if it hits, there is no guarantee that production will be good. And once production is established, sometimes, things go wrong with the well and it has to be plugged. And sometimes, it just depletes faster than anticipated. Mother Nature does not give up her treasures easily. So, by taking the cash, you're selling away the risk.

At this time, we are heavily speculating in the Haynesville shale play (Bossier shale play), especially the following areas.

Texas

Louisiana

If you are interested in a cash payday, here's what you can do.
  1. Sell all of your mineral rights.
  2. Sell 3/4ths of you mineral rights.
  3. Sell 1/2 or less of your minerals.
  4. Sell 1/4th or less of your minerals.
Thus, if you don't want to sell all, you can sell a portion to enjoy the cash payday and gamble with the part you reserve, hoping that it turns out good. It's your choice.
