About Us
Founded in 2024, Red Beard Resources is a Midland-based company built on local roots and a commitment to transparency, expertise, and creativity.
With deep ties to the Permian Basin, we understand the unique opportunities and challenges that come with owning oil and gas assets. Our focus is on acquiring minerals and royalties, while also working in non-operated interests, leasehold, and surface rights. Beyond energy, we manage a growing real estate arm, giving us a broader perspective on long-term asset value.
While our foundation is in the Permian and East Texas, we actively buy in all major basins across the U.S. Every transaction is privately-funded, allowing us to move quickly and structure deals to fit each owner’s situation. At Red Beard Resources, we partner with landowners to simplify complex decisions and provide fair, straightforward solutions that unlock lasting value.
