Nexus Energy Partners Launches 1031 Exchange Vertical for Mineral & Royalty Investors

Nexus Energy Partners has launched a 1031 exchange vertical for mineral and royalty investors, completing its first vehicle: a bespoke Anadarko Basin portfolio built for a single investor placing 1031 exchange proceeds. Structured through Nexus ML Holdings,LLC, the vehicle deployed $10.65 million across roughly 951 net royalty acres in Nexus’s core Oklahoma development corridor. The portfolio was assembled methodically, deal by deal, under the direction of Nexus’s seasoned technical team, with every transaction underwritten against strict return thresholds, and pairs producing wells with a deep inventory of future drilling locations.

‍

Today, the portfolio has exposure to 71 producing wells, 13 wells currently drilling or awaiting completion, and 45 proved undeveloped locations identified for future development, providing a strong base of current cash flow alongside a meaningful development runway. 99% of the portfolio’s cash flow comes from positions operated by some of the basin’s largest, most well-capitalized operators running active, programmatic development plans.

“Standing up our 1031 vertical and deploying this capital in under a year demonstrates exactly what Nexus does best — sourcing high-quality assets through deep relationships and executing with discipline,” said Ben Lusher, Chief Executive Officer. “We built this platform to give investors a tax-advantaged path to the same caliber of Anadarko Basin assets we pursue. The foundation is in place to build on for years to come.”

‍

1031 exchanges into mineral and royalty interests are a well-established path for investors seeking a tax-advantaged home for real property proceeds. As a royalty owner, the investor holds an interest in production revenue with no drilling costs, operating expenses, or capital calls. What Nexus brings is the sourcing and underwriting discipline it has built as an Anadarko Basin non-op platform, applied to a vehicle structured around the investor’s objectives.

‍

“Our existing pipeline gives us access to steady deal flow, and we put it to work tailoring an investment vehicle around one investor’s specific needs,” said Matt Barnard, Chief Financial Officer. “We’d welcome the chance to do the same for investors looking to place 1031 exchange capital into oil and gas minerals.”

As one of Oklahoma’s premier non-op energy platforms, Nexus has built its reputation on disciplined underwriting and deep relationships across the Mid-Continent. This 1031 vertical brings that same rigor to mineral and royalty ownership. With its first vehicle complete, Nexus is now extending the platform to additional investors, building each vehicle around their specific objectives. For investors with 1031 exchange capital to place, we’d welcome the conversation. Please reach out to Mike Saslow (msaslow@nexusenergypartners.com) to learn more.
