Question about mineral income

I know this site is not for help in preparing tax returns but… I will ask…

Is there anyway royalty payments (income) for my oil/gas lease this past year can be offset by previous long term losses (in stocks, way back to the dotcom era) that I have been carrying for years (no long term gains to offset)? Is my interest in my minerals cosider an investment?

Thanks to anyone that wants to comment.
