Mineral Aggregator Valuation Multiples Analysis

Market Data as of November 10, 2020

Mercer Capital has its finger on the pulse of the minerals market.  An important trend has been the rise of mineral aggregators, which have largely supplanted the trusts as the primary method of publicly-traded minerals ownership.

Due to a variety of corporate structures (including master limited partnerships and Up-Cs) and complex capital structures (including preferred equity and non-traded common units), mineral aggregator enterprise values pulled from databases are often missing meaningful components of value, leading to skewed valuation multiples.

Mercer Capital has thoughtfully analyzed the corporate and capital structures of the publicly traded mineral aggregators to derive meaningful indications of enterprise value.  We have also calculated valuation multiples based on a variety of metrics, including distributions and reserves, as well as earnings and production on both a historical and forward-looking basis.

EP Third Quarter 2026 Appalachia
EP Third Quarter 2026

Region Focus: Appalachia

Appalachian Basin production remained relatively stable over the review period despite a notable decline in drilling activity, supported in part by the completion of previously drilled wells. The basin’s modest production growth contrasted with the much stronger gains in the Haynesville, where drilling activity expanded significantly amid expectations for growing Gulf Coast LNG export demand. While both basins are heavily weighted toward natural gas, differences in infrastructure access and development economics contributed to their differing levels of activity.
