AFE & Drilling Participations
Been sent an AFE to participate in a well and would rather cash out than write the check? We’ll buy your participation.
CS Resources LLC · Direct buyer of upstream oil & gas interests
A clear, no‑obligation offer on your oil & gas interest.
CS Resources buys AFE / drilling participations, non‑operated working interests, leasehold, and mineral & royalty interests directly from owners — and handles everything from offer to close.
- Direct buyer — not a broker
- No fees or commissions
- We cover title & closing costs
A Colorado‑based acquirer active across the major U.S. oil & gas basins — the Permian, DJ, Powder River, Bakken, Eagle Ford, Appalachia, and more.
What We Buy
Especially the interests most buyers won’t touch.
Many buyers only want producing minerals and royalties. CS Resources also acquires the working‑side and pre‑development interests that are harder to sell — the ones you may have been told are difficult to move.
Non‑Operated Working Interests
Operated or non‑op working interests, producing or not. Sell all of it — or just part.
Leasehold Interests
Undeveloped or recently leased acreage in active basins where operators are moving in.
Mineral & Royalty Interests
Mineral rights, royalties, ORRI and NPRI — producing or non‑producing.

Questions
Common questions from owners.
What is an AFE, and why would I sell my participation?
An AFE (Authorization for Expenditure) is the operator’s estimate of the cost to drill and complete a well, sent to interest owners who can choose to participate by paying their share. If you’d rather not write that check — or simply prefer cash today over the risk and timeline of a well — we’ll buy your participation.
Do I pay any fees or commissions?
No. We’re the direct buyer and we cover title, legal, and closing costs. The offer we quote is the amount you receive.
Will you buy only part of my interest?
Yes. You can sell all of your interest or just a portion and keep some upside — whatever fits your situation.
How fast can this happen?
It depends on the interest and title, but we move quickly and tell you a realistic timeline up front. Funds are wired at closing.
Is the offer really no‑obligation?
Yes. You’re free to review our written offer and walk away. There’s no cost and no pressure.
What do you need from me to get started?
Just your contact info and a sense of what you own. Helpful but not required: a recent check/division order, your lease, or the AFE you received.
What areas do you buy in?
We buy across the major U.S. oil & gas basins — including the Permian, DJ, Powder River, Bakken, Eagle Ford, and Appalachia. If you’re not sure whether your interest qualifies, just ask.
Ready for a straightforward offer?
No fees. No obligation. We handle the paperwork.
