@Mick - It was just going public.
i am reading/ recap some/\ Black Stone Minerals owns a diverse set of lands, mining and mineral rights throughout the United States.
The company owns interest and rights to over 17 million acres land with over 40 thousand producing wells.
The assets include large ownership interest in the Bakkan/Three Forks Shale for natural gas fracking.
The company also owns interest in a large number of mineral basins.
ia this private company ?????
The natural gas wells have nearly same metrics that oil wells do. I have long studied the effects of fracking and SWD related earthquakes and so far as I have seen there is no correlation other then SWD.
Since all measurable quakes are so small it is concluded (based on the research I have seen) that it is small fault blocks that effectively get lubricated which allows for small releases of stress on faults instead of build up to larger events.
You will see gas mixed with water in certain parts of the country. This is naturally occurring and has been well known to locals for decades before fracking was even put into use.
Now chemicals being used in the ground should always have strong oversight and be diligently handled. There is no excuse for poor responsibility regardless if there are no to minimal examples.
Just my two cents!
You may be right. All the drilling we're seeing is natural gas.
If I'm not mistaken the problems I have seen related to Earthquakes are due to over disposal into SWD wells not oil wells.
Most wells fracked are well below any water tables and I haven't seen direct correlation between any fracs and water issues that were not natural.
Appreciate any insights you may have. Thanks!
I own rental property that they are drilling underneath and believe me, fracking is a huge concern.
I thats been an ongoing discussion for a while and lots of groups taking both sides. However other then California (maybe) I don't see any significant changes. The industry is becoming more and more diligent and technology is continually improving.
My biggest concern would be for all the heat fracking is suddenly coming under.
I'm still doing research. New issuers sometimes are priced right for significant growth. I'm a fan of many existing MLP as well. Strong value proposition due to deflated crude prices and steady dividends.
So why would you buy BSM over any of the other already existing MLPs in the area?
Goes live May 1 under ticker BSM if I'm not mistaken. Should trend well with recovery of oil over next 1-2 years.
So this company is not publicly traded yet?
Outlook: BSM gives investors an excellent dividend yield that appears pretty safe and stable. Investors may quickly recognize the dividend opportunity and drive up the stock price, this will also create short-term potential for early investors looking to capitalize on the price-jump. In any event, BSM looks like a great play for a variety of investors. For those that are interested in the stock, they should pay close attention to the actual pricing and any IPO-pop that may occur before trading on the market commences.

Dividends: The company has declared minimum quarterly dividends in its prospectus. In 2016, the dividend equates to 5% annual yield based on the $21 maximum share price in the IPO filing. On the low end, $19 per share would equate to 5.5% dividend yield. On top of healthy starting dividend, the company has planned for a minimum of 10% annual increase in payout, which may increase.

Finances: Black Stone Minerals will use the vast majority of proceeds from the company's IPO to repay outstanding debt obligations. Oil and natural gas sales make up the vast majority of revenue, however recognized gains from commodity derivative and leases also serve as a viable source of cash flows. The company should perform very well throughout 2015 as oil future markets remain in contango. The company should recognize gains on derivatives in light of lower commodity prices.
Assets: Black Stone Minerals owns a diverse set of lands, mining and mineral rights throughout the United States. The company owns interest and rights to over 17 million acres land with over 40 thousand producing wells. The assets include large ownership interest in the Bakkan/Three Forks Shale for natural gas fracking. The company also owns interest in a large number of mineral basins.
