Unlike brokers or intermediaries, ARB is a direct, principal buyer. When you receive an offer from ARB, it comes from our own capital — not from a third party we need to find on your behalf. That means faster closings, more competitive offers, and a process that is straightforward from your first call to your final wire transfer.
ARB specializes in the Permian Basin because we believe it is the most important oil-producing region in the United States — and we are committed to being the most knowledgeable, most active buyer in it. Whether your mineral interests are in the Wolfcamp of the Midland Basin, the Bone Spring of the Delaware Basin, or the carbonate reservoirs of the Central Basin Platform, our team has the expertise to evaluate your interests quickly and fairly.
Answers to the questions mineral owners most often ask before selling their Permian Basin mineral rights to ARB.
ARB evaluates your mineral rights using public production data, operator activity, recent comparable transactions in your area, the specific formations producing beneath your acreage, and current commodity prices. We provide a transparent, data-driven offer — not a lowball estimate. The valuation process is free and comes with no obligation to sell.
From your initial inquiry to closing, the process typically takes 4–6 weeks. ARB delivers a no-obligation offer within 5 business days of receiving your information. Once accepted, our team handles all title research, curative work, and deed preparation — you simply review and sign closing documents and receive a lump-sum wire transfer.
No. ARB is a direct buyer — there is no broker or middleman involved in the transaction. You are welcome to have an attorney review any documents before signing, and we encourage it, but it is not required. There are no fees of any kind charged to mineral owners who sell to ARB.
ARB buys mineral rights, non-participating royalty interests (NPRI), overriding royalty interests (ORRI), and non-operated working interests across the Permian Basin and beyond. We purchase both producing and non-producing interests and are comfortable with complex title situations. If you are unsure what type of interest you own, our team can help you identify it as part of the free valuation process.
This is the most common question mineral owners face. Permian Basin mineral rights valuations are currently at historically strong levels due to sustained operator activity and elevated oil prices. However, horizontal wells typically decline 60–80% in their first year of production, and future development of your specific acreage is never guaranteed. Many mineral owners find that capturing today's peak valuation — rather than waiting on uncertain future development — is the prudent financial decision. ARB's free valuation will give you a concrete data point to help you decide.
Yes. While the Permian Basin is our primary focus, ARB is an active buyer of mineral rights, royalties, and working interests across the United States — including the Anadarko Basin, Eagle Ford Shale, Bakken, Marcellus, and other major producing regions.
