Louisiana has compulsory pooling: within a Commissioner-established drilling unit the Commissioner may require pooling, after notice and hearing, on just and reasonable terms. La. R.S. 30:9 and 30:10
No dormant-mineral act, because Louisiana follows the non-ownership theory: a mineral servitude is extinguished automatically by prescription of non-use after 10 continuous years without good-faith operations, and any qualifying use resets the full period.

Submit your information through our valuation form or call (817) 778-9532. ARB delivers a written, no-obligation offer — typically within five business days — handles all title and closing work at no cost to you, and pays by wire at closing. There are no fees or commissions.
It depends on your net mineral acres, whether the acreage is producing, the formations and operators beneath it, and current commodity prices — there is no single per-acre price. The reliable way to learn your number is a free, no-obligation valuation built from your specific Louisiana acreage, which ARB provides with the reasoning explained.
No. ARB is a direct buyer — there are no fees, commissions, or deductions. The offer amount is what you receive, and ARB covers title research, curative work, and closing costs.
From inquiry to closing typically takes four to six weeks. You receive a no-obligation offer within about five business days, then ARB handles title and curative work before funding your lump-sum payment by wire.
Do not sign or return anything right away. First, confirm exactly what you own — your net mineral acres, royalty decimal, and which wells or units are involved. Second, verify the buyer: check whether they are a direct buyer or a broker who intends to flip the deal, and read the purchase agreement for the effective date and any deductions. Third, get at least one competing written offer so you have something to measure the first one against. Unsolicited offers on Louisiana minerals are often opening bids rather than best-and-final, and a second valuation from American Royalty Buyers is free and carries no obligation to sell.
Unsolicited letters and calls offering to buy Louisiana mineral rights are common, and the first number is rarely the best one. Before you sign anything: read the offer carefully, confirm exactly what you own, verify who the buyer is, and get a second written offer to compare against. ARB will give you one at no cost and with no obligation to sell.
