Gateway Royalty, LLC is a royalty acquisition company based in Carrollton, Ohio. Gateway Royalty is unlike most companies looking to buy oil and gas minerals.

Our goal is to invest in a broad range of oil and gas royalties across the eastern Ohio counties, which constitute the core of the new Utica shale play. Gateway’s well-capitalized structure enables landowners to “cash out” a portion of their landowner royalties while retaining a significant interest in any wells drilled on their lands. Although most oil and gas companies are interested in purchasing minerals, Gateway Royalty prefers to give you a choice by buying royalties. Our program lets you continue to own 100 percent of your minerals. This means that as a mineral owner selling oil royalties, you decide whether to sign an oil and gas lease and what the terms of that lease may be. By retaining your oil and gas minerals, you are able to enter into any new oil and gas lease on your terms, maintaining control of what happens on your land. Additionally, as a mineral owner you will receive 100 percent of the lease bonus money for any new oil and gas lease you sign for your Utica Shale property. As the owner of a portion of the landowner’s royalty, Gateway will benefit when and if your oil and gas minerals are put into a successful well, sharing the lease royalty in the portion upon the terms of the agreement. Second, Gateway prefers to buy less than 100% of your royalties. We think it is a good business decision for the landowner to continue to have an interest in any well drilled on his or her land. A typical royalty purchase by Gateway will be of 25-50% of a landowner’s royalties.

When Jim and Megan Vaughn discovered mineral rights during the probate process, they were suddenly faced with an important decision: what were those interests worth, and who could they trust to help them move forward?

Their first transaction with Gateway Royalty allowed them to use the proceeds in a 1031 exchange to purchase property in Indiana. Years later, when new lease questions arose, they turned to Gateway again.

Read how one mineral rights transaction became a lasting partnership:

This move by Ascent Resources to ramp up drilling and completions in the Ohio-Utica shows demand is alive. This is another clear signal for mineral owners to consider their options.

If you’re on the fence about selling, this could be a good time to get an offer based on current activity.

Call (330) 205-5038 or request an evaluation to see what your minerals might fetch. Not tax or legal advice; consult your advisor for details.

Privately held Ascent Resources plans to focus almost exclusively on its dry-gas and liquids-rich fairways in the Ohio Utica in 2026.

If you signed a lease 10+ years ago and wonder whether there’s still value left in your minerals, the answer might surprise you. Across Eastern Ohio, and especially in Carroll County, we’re seeing a second wave of development driven by downspacing: operators going back into older units and drilling new, better wells.

EOG’s recent activity in Carroll County is a clear example. Units first drilled in 2012 are now candidates for new laterals thanks to improved technology and the emergence of the condensate window. For landowners, this could mean new royalty income, but your old lease terms still apply, including royalty rates and deductions.

If your minerals are held by production, now is the time to ask the right questions: Are new permits nearby? Could your unit see more wells? What does this mean for your long-term value?

Gateway Royalty tracks every rig, permit, and unit across the Utica.
