Production royalty per Mcfe/BOE produced on acreage; revenue = (production volume) × (commodity price) × (royalty rate, ~20%).

No pricing power over royalties; rates set by lease terms; exposed entirely to Henry Hub gas and WTI oil benchmark pricing.

Gross margins ~70–80%; low opex model with minimal LOE; margin compresses when commodity prices fall below $2.50/Mcf gas equivalent.

No free-rider risk; mineral rights ownership is legally enforced; operators must pay royalties or face title dispute and lease termination.
