You'll hear the word royalty a lot around Dolomite, so here's what it means.

A royalty is a share of what a well produces. Dolomite holds a 1% overriding royalty interest, or ORRI, in a North Louisiana field where 8 deep wells are producing today. It covers production from wells on that acreage.

Two details make it valuable. First, the royalty is paid from production before the working interest, which is the share held by the companies that pay to drill and run the wells. Second, the drilling and operating costs stay with the working-interest owners.

The founders contributed this royalty to Dolomite as its founding producing asset. It belongs to the company, and investors own Dolomite stock.

The royalty is one piece of the plan. Next time, we'll explain the other piece: working interests.
