A Long-Term Perspective
OUR COMPANY
Desert Royalty Company (DRC) is an oil and gas investment company specializing in the acquisition of minerals and royalties.
Since our founding, DRC has built a track record of recognizing and capturing value in the mineral market regardless of industry climate, product pricing, or changing competition. DRC has always focused on long-term ownership rather than short-term strategies that rely on selling acquired assets within a few years. Thus, as we evaluate potential acquisitions, we can make competitive offers on properties that will become extremely valuable over time. We look for quality production and prospective additional development. This long-term structure has afforded us sustainability and allowed us to weather the ups and downs of a volatile industry.
OUR ACQUISITIONS
It is a privilege to help mineral owners achieve their goals through a divestment or partnership. We look to create relationships that last beyond the initial sale. Many of our buys have come through repeat business or referrals, and many of our current investors were first mineral owners from whom we purchased mineral interest.
OUR MANAGEMENT
DRC has been based in downtown Midland since its inception in 1990, and many of us were born and raised here. We count a lot of our friends, family and neighbors among the minerals owners, industry partners and investors with whom we do business.

OUR INVESTORS
The Desert Partners funds began with close family and friends and have grown through referrals and recommendations. The majority of DRC investors have participated in multiple funds. Over 90 percent of the living investors from the original Desert Partners fund have continued to invest with DRC for nearly 30 years through eight funds.
OUR FUNDS
Our funds are designed to acquire long-term, generational assets, and they’re managed accordingly. Careful stewardship and wise administration of these assets have been our top priorities since the first mineral fund in 2001. While Desert Partners funds have historically delivered excellent annual returns, our management of these funds focuses on long-term value.
OUR INVESTOR BASE
Our investor base is one of the most unique things about DRC. We are fortunate to have extremely loyal investors who are well-aligned with our vision, which allows us to make patient, long-term buys. Consequently, the partnerships collectively own some of the most coveted positions in the most premier basins.
