The Mineral Rights Podcast: Mineral Rights | Royalties | Oil and Gas | Matt Sands

On today's episode Justin Williams and I speak with Will Cullen who is the Vice President of LongPoint Minerals, LLC. Will and I go back to when we both worked for Shell in different roles supporting the Pinedale Anticline asset in Wyoming. He has an extensive background in finance, economics, and Business Development in oil and gas and in minerals specifically. You won't want to miss this episode because we cover a ton of insightful information as to how a large mineral buyer operates and approaches mineral acquisitions and the current state of the minerals market. We also talk about some really helpful tips to help the individual mineral owner to get the most when leasing or selling their minerals.

In 2015, Cullen was appointed as MLP Business Analysis Lead. Before his career with Shell, he owned and operated Highland Minerals & Royalties and was in Institutional Sales with Petrie Parkman. He joined the FourPoint Energy team in 2016, as the Vice President of Business Development and immediately helped the team launch LongPoint Minerals and LongPoint Minerals II.
