An oil well can have several owners, and they can hold different kinds of interest. Two matter for Dolomite.

A royalty is a share of production. It is paid from production before the working interest, and drilling and operating costs stay with the working-interest owners. Dolomite holds a 1% overriding royalty in its North Louisiana field.

A working interest is part-ownership of the well itself. Working-interest owners pay their share of the cost to drill and run the well, and after those costs, they receive their share of what remains. With this raise, Dolomite plans to buy working interests in planned twin wells, alongside the experienced operator who runs the field.

Put simply, the royalty is what Dolomite starts with, and working interests are how it plans to grow.
