Our Commitment to Accuracy
Pointer Minerals is a direct buyer of oil and gas mineral rights and royalties. We are not a broker, agent, or financial advisor. The content on this website is intended to help mineral owners understand the selling process, common terminology, and what to expect when working with us. This page explains how that content is produced, reviewed, and kept current.
Pointer Minerals is in the business of purchasing mineral rights. This means we have a commercial interest in the transactions we discuss on this site. We write about topics like valuation, the selling process, and state regulatory environments because these are the questions mineral owners ask us most. We are transparent about the fact that our content supports our business, and we encourage every reader to consult an independent attorney, CPA, or financial advisor before making decisions about their mineral interests.
State-level content on our site, including basin descriptions, county coverage, and regulatory notes, is drawn from our direct experience evaluating and closing mineral transactions across 19 active states. Where we reference specific legal or regulatory environments, we rely on publicly available information from state regulatory agencies including:
Glossary definitions are written in plain English based on standard industry usage and legal precedent. They are not legal definitions and should not be relied on as legal advice.
Content on this site is written and reviewed by Brad Caponigro, the founder of Pointer Petroleum LLC. Brad is an oil and gas engineer based in Austin, Texas, and studied at the University of Texas. Before starting Pointer, he worked at Endeavor Energy Resources, where he valued oil and gas properties and helped plan new wells.
Topics that touch on legal procedure (probate, heirship, forced pooling) or tax treatment (severance, federal estate, 1031) are clearly marked as not legal or tax advice and recommend consultation with a qualified attorney or CPA. We are engaging independent JD and CPA reviewers for the practitioner-version articles in our resources hub — those reviewer credentials are named directly on each practitioner article.
All content published on this site is reviewed before publication. Our review process includes:
If we discover or are informed of an error in any published content, we will correct it promptly. We do not publish errata notices for minor corrections (typos, formatting), but substantive corrections — such as an incorrect regulatory reference, an outdated county list, or a misleading statement about the selling process — will be corrected in place, and the correction will be noted at the bottom of the affected page.
If you believe any content on this site is inaccurate or misleading, please contact us. We take accuracy seriously and will review every report.
State pages, glossary definitions, and FAQ answers are reviewed at least annually. Content that references specific dates, price ranges, or regulatory rules is updated when material changes occur. Basin and county data is refreshed as we close transactions and observe shifts in drilling activity across our active markets.
