Currently, the RIK Program is competitively selling over 800,000 MMBtu of natural gas per day and over 150,000 barrels of crude oil per day.

The RIK Strategy

RIK is one of two strategies used by MRM to manage the Nation’s substantial oil and gas mineral royalty assets.  Federal oil and gas leasing laws and lease terms provide the Government with the option of receiving production royalty payments either in value (RIV) or in kind.  In certain circumstances, it is to the advantage of the Government to receive its royalty payments in kind; that is, in the form of oil or gas production.  MRM’s RIK Program provides the capability both to identify opportunities for using the RIK strategy and to manage the sale and disposition of oil and gas royalties received in kind.  Every aspect of MRM’s RIK Program is governed by strong internal controls and a formal risk management policy modeled after commercial oil and gas industry best practices.  MRM’s commodity sales activity uses commercially-based sales contracts, delivery options, pricing methods, and sales terms to attract a diverse pool of successful oil and gas purchasers.
