You are in a great area. Deciding whether to sell or keep your minerals is a personal choice and depends on everyones situation. Because you are in a good area and you know wells are being drilled very soon, if you decide to keep your minerals you will make more money in the long run. The permits and horizontals have likely caused an uptick in purchase offers coming your way. I am in the industry and I sell interests from time to time in an effort to “Hedge” a little bit. I don’t want all of my money tied up in one asset class such as oil and gas. From time to time I sell portions of interests and invest that money in real estate or equities. Balance is key! good luck. If you do sell you should research 1031 exchanges.
