"Thank you all so much for providing me with so much beneficial information. I am new to the oil game. I have primarily been just a gleaner of the professional knowledge and business acumen of EVERYONE. To M. Barnes and others, thank you especially for all those geological charts and maps, spreadsheets, etc. Pictures are great.I was one of those who leased without knowing how to negotiate it. Afterward, I found MRF. Thanks to you all, I will be in a much stronger negotiating position than the first time."

"I am so happy that I lucked into finding the Mineral Rights Forum. It put me in contact with some very patient, oil/mineral educated and generous folks that helped me through understanding what I had. I met a high school principal out of Wyoming, a couple of super helpful gentlemen out of Texas, and other great folks. I also connected with a lawyer out of Kingfisher Co OK. through the forum. Thanks for being there in Forum, phone convo and email, it has been a pleasure."

"As you know we also fell into that group that received lots of help from the ones that were named above and many others. Rick and M.Barnes as well as Hutch and several others helped us so much! Rick also came down to meet us in Lindsay the first time. He met with us another time in Moore and looked over our papers when we were going to sell some of our royalty and gave suggestions that turned out to be VERY helpful! Several times M. Barnes has helped us out with suggestions and information. Hutch also has helped us figure amounts of acreages we were being paid for, etc. But it hasn’t stopped there. Many others have lent their knowledge and expertise of the oil field. Too many to mention and others that may not want their names mentioned but to whom we are forever grateful! What help we may have given was meager at most and we enjoyed doing it. I have really enjoyed this forum and the great people we have been privileged to meet along the way."

"Just a quick note to thank you oh so much for creating your amazing Mineral Interest forum! We had no idea as to the value of our mineral interests until we received an offer in the mail. Had I not found your online forum and reached out to you for advice, we would have never known how to proceed with valuing and selling our interests. Because of your advice to not only hire the person you recommended, but also to not immediately accept the first offer to buy our interests, we would have been without a compass to guide us through this process.
As a result of your advice/guidance, today we accepted an offer for about 30% above the original offer. Who knew our little family mineral interests could be so valuable! I just wanted to let you know how priceless your forum is and how well this worked out for my family. Truly, we can’t thank you enough for helping us! Keep up the great work."
