Listen "Smart Money - Strong Returns, Low Costs Attract Investors and Consolidators to Mineral/Royalty Firms"
Episode Synopsis
U.S. E&Ps’ strategic shift from growth at any cost to a laser focus on cash flows to fund shareholder returns revitalized their investor base.

In today’s RBN blog, we’ll see how things are going with the oil and gas companies that bear no responsibility for the costs and complications associated with the finding, development and production of hydrocarbons — the entities that own mineral and royalty interests.
