Record IPO Values
for Marcellus Shale Companies

With the rush to produce oil and gas from the Marcellus Shale, it’s also important to look at the companies who are operating in the Marcellus.  A number of operators from all over the country are actively permitting and drilling wells in the Marcellus but there are some newer companies that are also taking part.   The large amount of reserves in the Marcellus and the demand for energy stocks has lead investors to two big names in the Marcellus.

Rice Energy IPO

With record IPO values for Marcellus Shale Companies, Rice Energy has taken part by raising $1.05 billion in their IPO.  With their successful IPO, Rice Energy now has cash available to expand their operations and become an even larger player in the Marcellus Shale.   Rice Energy has already had an impressive run producing stronger production and cash flow then their peers and Wall Street appears to agree they have what it takes.   Their stock, under ticker RICE, debuted at roughly $20 and has already moved to $26.50 as of this writing.   As Rice Energy continues to grow, this will have a positive impact on mineral owners.  When companies with fresh cash from an IPO begin acquiring land mineral owners will see the benefits.

Antero Resources IPO

Antero Resources is another hot Marcelus operator with a record IPO values for Marcellus Shale Companies.  Their IPO in late 2013 was very successful and raised approximately 1.57 billion.  Antero will use this cash to pay down debt and fund future exploration and development.  Similar to the Rice Energy IPO, successful IPO’s from companies who primarily operate in the Marcellus Shale show strong support for the area.  As these companies benefit from the cash Wall Street is providing mineral owners in the area will also benefit.

Impact on Mineral Owners

When Oil and Gas operators are having success in an area there are a number of benefits for mineral owners.  If operators are so successful they are able to go public and secure additional funding, this is an even better signal that mineral owners in the area will benefit significantly from oil and gas activity.   If you need to lease mineral rights, sell mineral rights, or sell royalties, companies in the area who have recently IPO’d can help drive up pricing and provide additional cash for mineral owners.   If you want to know how to get the most value for your mineral rights we recommend contacting us at the form below.  We can help walk you through the best way to lease mineral rights and answer any questions you may have.
