Next week is the official launch of Mineral Management Basics, my first online course, and I’m excited to share what I have been working on!

If you are one of my email subscribers you may already know that I had a small group of students go through a bootcamp in early 2023 to provide feedback on the course content.  Well, I’m happy to say that I finally finished the pre-recorded version of the course and it is now available for purchase!

In this episode, I wanted to share a sneak-peek at some of the content that is included in the first module of the course which covers the different types of oil and gas interests and how they relate to each other.

If you are interested in understanding what you and your family own, this is the place to start.  Whether you are an existing mineral owner looking to understand what you own or an if you are an aspiring mineral investor, this course has something for you. 

In Mineral Management Basics, you’ll learn everything you need to know about the basics of mineral management.  With high-quality videos (that aren’t too long) and examples along the way, you’ll learn about the important documents and how to organize them, how to locate your mineral and royalty interests on a map, perform your own title search, and discover the oil & gas potential of your property.  Plus, I’ve included a bonus lesson on how to locate missing royalties that might be owed to you or your family.
