Received a letter?

It is an invitation, not a claim and not an obligation.

A letter from us means a public record suggests that you, or someone with your name, may hold an oil and gas mineral or royalty interest in a West Virginia county. We would like to show you that record. What happens next is entirely up to you.

What it is not

What you can do
Talk to us, ask to see the record, or tell us to stop. No reason needed for any of them.

Check it is really from us

  • One named contactTo be confirmed before launch, at To be confirmed before launch or To be confirmed before launch. If the letter names someone else, use the details on this site instead.
  • A printed reference codeQuote it and we find the exact record that prompted the letter and tell you what it says.
  • Never a payment or a signatureWe never ask for money, bank details, or a signature by mail or phone to “hold” an offer. Anyone who does is not us.

Three ways to respond

  • TalkOpen a case with the reference code and county. You get a free screening and a copy of what the records show.
  • AskRequest the record the letter was based on, with no further step implied. We send it and stop there.
  • No further contactTell us by any channel and the address is suppressed from future mailings. No reason is needed.

Rather have someone call you about the letter?

Leave your name and email, and mention the reference code if you have it. The named contact gets back to you. No case is opened unless you ask.

If you want to prepare, three minutes is enough

  • The county and the namesNote which ones in the letter you recognize, or don’t.
  • Any paper you haveA deed, royalty statement, lease, or tax notice. None is required to respond.
  • What you wantA conversation, more context, or no further contact.

Questions owners ask

Does the letter mean I own minerals?

No. It means a public record suggests a possible interest associated with a name and county. Ownership is confirmed only by reviewed records, and the free screening tells you what was found.

Is the letter an offer?

No. Any offer is a separate written document that states the interest, price, assumptions, conditions, expenses, expiration, and payment steps. A letter inviting a conversation is not one.

How did you get my address?

From public records such as county deed, probate, and assessment records, and from publicly available address sources. Ask with your reference code and we tell you the specific record.

Do I need to act by a certain date?

No. There is no deadline on the letter and no offer waiting to expire. Respond when it suits you, or not at all.
