Private capital, deployed across three asset classes.
Rye Ridge invests in minerals, leasehold, and oil & gas development — sourcing each opportunity directly, underwriting it in-house, and holding it inside a defined-life fund structure.
Three asset classes. One underwriting standard.
Each acquisition runs through the same in-house engineering, title, and economic review — whether we're buying a royalty, taking down a leasehold position, or funding a non-operated working interest in a development well.
Minerals & royalties
Long-dated, cash-flowing mineral and royalty interests acquired directly from owners. No drilling cost exposure, no operating overhead.
Leasehold
Strategic leasehold positions in core areas of the basins we cover, acquired ahead of development and held for value capture.
Oil & gas development
Non-operated working interests in development-ready wells, selected for capital efficiency and underwritten well-by-well.
Disciplined sourcing. Disciplined capital.
Direct relationships
We talk directly to mineral owners, leaseholders, and operators across the Rocky Mountain West and Appalachia — not through brokers or aggregators.
In-house evaluation
Every type curve, title review, and economic model runs through our internal team before we commit capital.
Defined fund life
We invest through committed-equity funds with a defined life and a clear return-of-capital schedule for our partners.
