You received a packet
Buyers and landmen mail mineral deeds, leases, W-9s, and a date that feels urgent. What to expect covers the usual pressure, and how to respond gives you a first reply that is not a signature.
Deed or lease?
A mineral deed is usually a sale. An oil and gas lease is a term deal with bonus and royalty. Mixing them up is how people give up more than the check implies.

Permian buyouts do not look like Haynesville letters or Marcellus postcards. See what owners typically see by basin before you treat a number as “the going rate.”
Negotiate with a person
Chat on this site walks the pages. When you want eyes on your offer, offer review is the consult: we help you answer, counter, or hold.
