Spicewood Mineral Partners Announces Mineral and Royalty Acquisitions in the Permian Basin:


October 22, 2024 08:30 AM Eastern Daylight Time

DALLAS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Spicewood Mineral Partners (“Spicewood”), a leading Dallas based mineral and energy investment firm, today announced an update on its new acquisitions in the Delaware Basin. In recent months, the company has been acquiring a selection of “tier 1” mineral assets in the Permian Basin. Spicewood’s acquisitions reflect a strategic blend of early-life and more mature assets, each offering varied cash flow profiles and operator diversity.

These recent investments showcase the company’s commitment to acquiring premium quality assets through a top-down basin analysis and bottom-up investment approach, which enables Spicewood to capitalize on market inefficiencies, strong seller relationships and the team’s deep basin expertise.

“These uncorrelated, low-volatility assets offer a senior secured status for cash flow, tax advantages, and inflation protection, representing an emerging institutional asset class,” said John Golden, Spicewood co-founder and partner. “Additionally, we expect these assets to provide meaningful quarterly distributions to our partners, underscoring our commitment to delivering consistent risk-adjusted returns.”

DEAL HIGHLIGHTS

Deal 1: Strategic acquisition of early-life, 90 percent undeveloped mineral tract in the Delaware Basin, offering the potential for significant upside through resource development and timing advantages. Recent activity includes Oxy filing a lease in the neighboring section and several operators (CP, BTA, Rio, Point Energy) farming-in nearby to accelerate timing and reserves.

Deal 2: Higher-yielding asset with mineral interests in the Delaware and Midland Basins, operated by Oxy and High Peak. The deal includes both production-ready assets and significant future development opportunities. Approximately 60 percent of the inventory remains, featuring a mix of sub-$40/Bbl opportunities and longer-term potential.

Deal 3: Mineral interests in Ward County, considered to have strong production potential, supported by proximity to key operators like COP and Oxy.

Deal 4: Mineral interests in Northern Reeves County, associated with BP. This unit is one of BP’s last remaining long-lateral developments in the core of the basin, indicating significant near-term development focus.

Deal 5: Mineral interests across the Delaware Basin with strong near-term cash flow and future development potential. Only 18 percent of the asset is in PDP, with the majority of inventory having break-evens below $35/Bbl.

STRATEGIC RATIONALE

Highest-Quality Mineral Assets

These assets fit the company’s existing portfolio of lowest break-even costs along with a “highest depth of resource” profile as compared to U.S. basins, which Spicewood believes will ensure future development from our operators.

Diversified Asset Maturity

Spicewood’s recent acquisitions include a mix of undeveloped tracts and mature assets, providing both immediate cash flow and long-term growth potential.

Operator Diversity

The mineral tracts acquired have best-in-class operators such as ConocoPhillips, Oxy, and BP, each focused on low break-even and highest return potential resource opportunities. This diversity ensures resilience and optimal management across the company’s assets.

Varied Cash Flow Profiles

Spicewood’s recent acquisitions offer both in-place yield and early-stage development potential, featuring sub-$40/barrel break-even operator returns which assist to ensure continued cash flow under various market conditions.

Asymmetric Upside Potential

The company believes the recent acquisitions present notable upside potential through timing and reserve appreciation, positioning Spicewood well for future development.
