Valor

Valor is an oil and gas professional services firm working from Fort Worth and Midland, Texas, organized around two distinct arms. One serves mineral and royalty owners with mineral rights management, accounting, and royalty administration. The other acts as an outsourced back office for oil and gas operators, running accounting, land administration, regulatory compliance, and owner relations for clients across the United States.

Mineral and royalty management

The mineral side covers the full life cycle of an owner's interest: title verification and curative, lease review and negotiation, royalty auditing, deductions review, division order processing, ownership verification and correction, operator communication, and tax-ready reporting. Additional services include suspended and escheated fund recovery, 1099 review, property tax audit, well production monitoring, dormant mineral filings, GIS mapping, and agent of record, mail, and lockbox services.

Client types named on the site include:

• Banks and trust departments
• Universities and foundations
• Family offices
• Individual mineral owners

Technology and credentials

Valor runs mineral.tech, a proprietary mineral management platform used for asset mapping, document storage, real-time reporting, and around-the-clock owner access to holdings data. The Valor Toolkit is the firm's name for the bundled set of 56 services included with a comprehensive mineral management engagement, delivered by a staff of CPAs, landmen, and certified mineral managers. The company states that it never buys or sells minerals, cites SOC certified controls, and reports having recovered more than 27 million dollars for clients.

Operator back office

For operators, Valor works inside the client's existing accounting system, either as a full outsourced department or on specific functions.

Hearing work covers field rules, Statewide Rule 10 downhole commingling, Rule 32 flaring exceptions, Rule 37 spacing exceptions, Rule 38 density exceptions, plugging, proration and allowable, unitization, and consolidation matters, along with exhibit preparation and expert testimony.
