ABOUT THE COMPANY

Black Stone Minerals is one of the largest owners of oil and natural gas mineral interests in the United States. As of March 31, 2015, the partnership owned mineral interests in approximately 14.5 million acres, nonparticipating royalty interests in 1.2 million acres, and overriding royalty interests in 1.4 million acres. The partnership’s mineral and royalty interests are located in 41 states and in 62 onshore basins in the continental United States. The partnership owns non-cost-bearing interests in approximately 40,000 wells and non-operated working interests in over 9,000 wells. The combination of the breadth of the partnership’s asset base and the long-lived, non-cost-bearing nature of many of the partnership’s mineral and royalty interests exposes the partnership to potential production and reserves from new and existing plays with limited investment of additional capital.
