From Ranches to Royalties: Simplifying Your Mineral Management Journey

byPhillip Dunning

Managing mineral ownership is both a privilege and a challenge. For many, these assets are family legacies—properties passed down through generations, tied to distant ranches, farms or landholdings. While ownership remains valuable, the process of managing royalties, tracking payments and understanding what’s happening around your land has become increasingly complex.

In a world where we no longer live near the land we own, mineral management often feels disconnected and overwhelming. Statements go missing, payments are difficult to track, understanding what’s happening beneath the surface requires more than just instinct—it requires insight. That’s where the new EnergyLink® platform steps in.

The Evolving Landscape of Ownership and Royalties

Technological advancements in the energy industry—from simple vertical wells to sprawling horizontal operations—have reshaped mineral ownership. With each new generation, ownership becomes more fragmented and paperwork multiplies, making it harder to stay on top of the revenue you’re owed.

Gone are the days of watching nearby wells from the back porch. Today, your wells might be hundreds of miles away, and the monthly payments can feel like a mystery—buried in hard-to-decipher statements and deductions. For individual owners and mineral management companies alike, manual tracking drains time and energy, making growth and efficient operations a challenge.

Why EnergyLink?

Fifteen years ago, EnergyLink revolutionized how royalty owners accessed their statements. Today, with more than 500 operators and 2 million owners connected to the platform, we’re proud to unveil our next-generation EnergyLink platform—tailored for owners and investors who want to take control of their minerals with confidence.

The upgraded EnergyLink platform offers more than just access to revenue statements and tax forms. We’ve built a suite of tools to ensure every mineral owner can answer three critical questions with ease:

  1. Am I receiving every check I’m owed?
  2. Am I being paid correctly for all my wells?
  3. Is any new activity near my land that could impact my future income?

Answering these questions used to require external consultants or costly software. Now, EnergyLink delivers powerful insights directly to your fingertips—simple, reliable, affordable.

Discover the New EnergyLink Platform: A Solution for Every Mineral Owner and Manager

We’ve designed the new platform with two subscription tiersEnergyLink Essentials and Basic—so every owner can find the right level of insight for their needs. Whether you’re an individual owner or a mineral management company, you’ll benefit from integrated energy analytics, streamlined paperwork and tracking tools to help you stay ahead. Soon, we will be introducing an additional tier, EnergyLink Advanced. This new tier will offer a comprehensive digital workflow for processing royalty revenue and JIBs, providing unparalleled flexibility and deeper insights.
