Black Stone Minerals owns and actively manages mineral interests tied to oil and natural gas production. Its holdings span a large footprint of mineral acreage along with nonparticipating royalty interests and overriding royalty interests, spread across dozens of states in the United States. The company is best known for this scale of mineral ownership rather than for operating wells itself.
Rather than drilling or producing directly, Black Stone Minerals earns from the interests it holds in underlying oil and gas properties, benefiting from royalties and related rights tied to extraction carried out by operators on its acreage. Its business centers on managing this large base of mineral and royalty positions across many states.
Black Stone Minerals traces its founding back to 1876 and is headquartered in Houston, Texas. Its units are listed on the NYSE under the ticker BSM.
