The Royalty in Kind (RIK)
Program is responsible for managing Minerals Revenue
Management’s (MRM) commercial oil and gas commodity sales
activity. 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. Revenues from sales and
other dispositions of RIK oil and gas in
FY 2007 were over

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.
