Basin Coverage
Four Basins. One Standard.
We operate where the geology is proven, the operators are accountable, and the production history is deep enough to underwrite with conviction.
Permian Basin
West Texas
Target Formations
Spraberry / Wolfcamp / Bone Spring
Key Operators
Pioneer, Diamondback, Coterra, Occidental
The Permian remains the most productive and most actively developed basin in North America. Hadrian focuses on Midland and Delaware sub-basin acreage with demonstrated lateral productivity, strong operator programs, and multi-zone stacking potential. We have evaluated more transactions in the Permian than any other basin and maintain deep familiarity with its royalty and title landscape.
Delaware Basin
West Texas / New Mexico
Target Formations
Bone Spring / Wolfcamp / 2nd Bone Spring
Key Operators
Coterra, Occidental, Devon, Permian Resources
The Delaware sub-basin spans the Texas-New Mexico border and has emerged as one of the most capital-efficient development plays in the country. We target mineral and working interest positions under operators with proven completion designs and consistent type curve performance. New Mexico's royalty framework and regulatory environment are well understood by our team.
DJ Basin
Colorado
Target Formations
Niobrara / Codell
Key Operators
Civitas, Chevron, SRC Energy
The DJ Basin offers a mature, well-characterized development program anchored by the Niobrara and Codell formations. Civitas and Chevron operate the majority of active development, and their completion programs are among the most consistent in the basin. We evaluate DJ positions with particular attention to surface use agreements, setback regulations, and the evolving Colorado regulatory environment.
Powder River Basin
Wyoming
Target Formations
Niobrara / Mowry / Turner / Parkman
Key Operators
Devon, Chesapeake, Anschutz
The Powder River Basin is an emerging unconventional play with multiple stacked targets and a long runway of development ahead. We approach PRB acquisitions with a longer time horizon and higher geological scrutiny than our other basins, given the earlier stage of development. Wyoming's mineral title framework is straightforward, and the basin's operator base is consolidating around a small number of well-capitalized programs.
What We Look for in Every Basin
Proven formation productivity with multi-well type curve history
Active development programs from operators with strong completion track records
Clean title with no material encumbrances or depth limitations
Production history sufficient to support independent EUR estimation
Royalty and regulatory landscape we understand and can underwrite
