As an Oil & Gas investor for 40 years, I have witnessed a drastic evolution within the oil and gas industry with the onset and continued innovation of online technology. Until now, no company has created an open marketplace for mineral buyers and sellers to easily meet and conduct business. In a complex market that is inherently secret and inefficient, mineral owners have lacked an online portal that provides a highly visible platform where they feel informed and confident in knowing the prices offered are competitive within the marketplace and the commissions incurred are low and transparent
With the formation of OklahomaMinerals.com, the first online resource designed for mineral owners in Oklahoma, this long-overlooked concept is now a reality. Using sophisticated technology, Oklahoma Minerals offers a simple and efficient online exchange where mineral owners can buy, sell or lease.
From the buyer side, Oklahoma Minerals brings together individual investors, family offices and private equity groups onto one portal where they can acquire and/or lease acreage, drawing from a large database of mineral owners.
Our management team has over 100 years of combined experience in the oil and gas industry ranging from Board Rooms to courthouses through decades of business relationships with Mineral Owners, Mineral Buyers, Corporate CEO’s, Executive Teams, and Private Investors.
