Buyer criteria before inventory
The acquisition search begins with allocation, timing, ownership objectives, income goals, and risk tolerance.
The firm
Buyer-specific mineral and royalty acquisitions.
Blackridge Royalty Capital LLC sources and coordinates acquisitions of producing oil and gas mineral and royalty interests for cash buyers and potential 1031 exchange participants.
Firm overview
A focused acquisition platform.
Blackridge is built around a simple idea: begin with the purchaser's requirements, then find and organize an acquisition that can be evaluated on its actual ownership, operating history, and risk.
The firm focuses on direct-deeded, non-operated interests rather than drilling or managing wells. Availability, ownership, title, pricing, and historical revenue remain deal-specific and must be independently verified before closing.
