Which increases holding value more? Leasing or Participating in a well?

[fixit]

Question: Does leasing or becoming a working interest owner result in a higher valuation of my minerals if I wanted to sell later down the road?

Impossible to say without knowing more about the well(s), the reservoir, the potential lease and the potential joint operating agreement.

Fixit- if the well works, working interest. If not lease it.
