I’m not quick to jump at new ventures, but every so often, you come across someone who sees the business, and the people in it, a little differently in a way that is attractive and fair. That’s how it was with Matthew. How We Met I first crossed paths with Matthew when he was still over at Lime Rock, working with his partners in the Marcellus basin. We were buying in the same area, so our paths overlapped naturally. Some time later, he called after a rough patch in the business, one of those moments that makes you step back and reflect. He told me he’d been thinking hard about what kind of business he wanted to build next. At that point, I’d already helped a few folks start up mineral royalty companies, so I told him I’d back him. We helped fund his early deals and provided capital to him so he could invest alongside us. I’ve always believed investors like to invest in entities that have some assets (rather than a blind fund). It gives you a sense of what you’re really getting into. Matthew took that small start, built a team, and implemented a successful platform and business for his partners. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/659484745f19a34c7fb01432/3ef41296-5cee-4da6-8f9e-b23f69e895a3/MAEVLOBrandShoot_0011.jpg The Maevlo Blog - Trust, Energy, and Doing Every Deal Like It’s Your First - Matthew is an entrepreneur and, as such, is happy to forge new paths on his own, but he always seeks out the opinions of others and strives to be more than just a partner, but someone who cares about each person he comes in contact with – a wonderful trait. I’ve seen other guys at his stage, after their third fund with some success in their pocket, decide to shut things down and keep the next few deals for themselves, leaving their investors behind. Matthew’s not that way. He’s kept his priorities where they belong. He’s family-first, honest, and focused on doing things the right way. That’s a rare thing in this industry. The royalties business, in particular, attracts some less-than-honest characters. You’re dealing with assets buried in the ground, checks from people you’ve never met, and sellers who sometimes don’t even know what they’re selling. I’ve even had someone try to sell me minerals I already owned before! https://maevlo.com/blog/podcast-appearance-on-scarce-assets monthly 0.5 2025-11-07 https://maevlo.com/blog/stepping-into-the-conversation monthly 0.5 2025-09-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/659484745f19a34c7fb01432/b54d46f8-95c1-4149-bf0e-61185c7abcf2/Carin+photo.jpg The Maevlo Blog - Stepping Into the Conversation - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://maevlo.com/blog/sound-money-part-iii monthly 0.5 2025-06-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/659484745f19a34c7fb01432/445d9391-3812-43f4-b670-d59fc3fe4336/MAEVLO_0307.jpg The Maevlo Blog - Sound Money: Part III - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/659484745f19a34c7fb01432/d49d2231-d999-406e-8245-94259e343196/Screenshot+2025-06-27+143948.png The Maevlo Blog - Sound Money: Part III - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://maevlo.com/blog/sound-money-part-2 monthly 0.5 2025-06-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/659484745f19a34c7fb01432/fa5fcd02-0c46-40ec-96d5-f28eeaeb1da3/MAEVLO_0270.jpg The Maevlo Blog - Sound Money: Part II - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://maevlo.com/blog/a-pot-of-frogs monthly 0.5 2025-06-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/659484745f19a34c7fb01432/f80df7df-ca73-4cd6-94d4-96d0a095f585/MAEVLO_0317.jpg The Maevlo Blog - Sound Money: Part 1 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://maevlo.com/blog/podcast-appearance-on-tim-kotzman monthly 0.5 2025-11-07 https://maevlo.com/blog/the-art-of-making-a-deal monthly 0.5 2025-02-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/659484745f19a34c7fb01432/cb56c7f4-1a26-4518-bb26-dba522183b2f/MAEVLO_0250.jpg The Maevlo Blog - The Art of Making a Deal - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://maevlo.com/blog/energy-investing-101 monthly 0.5 2024-12-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/659484745f19a34c7fb01432/cdbc4e6b-bf93-4b23-8721-ad086c4db15c/MAEVLO_0268.jpg The Maevlo Blog - Energy Investing 101 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/659484745f19a34c7fb01432/96902523-291a-4352-bec3-78f0611cce05/Risk+Scale.png The Maevlo Blog - Energy Investing 101 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://maevlo.com/blog/investors-likeme monthly 0.5 2024-12-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/659484745f19a34c7fb01432/08698f88-4f2d-40a4-9520-6466fb356f21/MAEVLO_0276.jpg The Maevlo Blog - Investors Like…Me? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://maevlo.com/blog/a-view-from-the-drivers-seat-a-deep-dive-into-the-oil-and-gas-market monthly 0.5 2026-03-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/659484745f19a34c7fb01432/a43fbb01-cd84-4d34-82ea-23a9cb37772a/MAEVLOBrandShoot_0024.jpg The Maevlo Blog - A View From the Driver's Seat: A Deep Dive into the Oil and Gas Market - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/659484745f19a34c7fb01432/a554eea2-29ca-4bf4-a83c-7334bb4362d5/MAEVLOBrandShoot_0023.jpg The Maevlo Blog - A View From the Driver's Seat: A Deep Dive into the Oil and Gas Market - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://maevlo.com/blog/mineral-owners-like-who monthly 0.5 2024-09-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/659484745f19a34c7fb01432/7597161a-62e9-40ef-8c69-7fb73ef2b645/Multi+Exposure+Image-It+is+never+Just+land.png The Maevlo Blog - Mineral Owners Like . . .

But it is possible to describe the larger swells and trends and attempt to wisely align your decision-making with them. One of the bigger swells that we see right now in the oil and gas industry is actually quite a big one and is worth naming. We believe we’re in the early innings of potentially a decade-long horizon wherein we’ll experience Structural Deficits. In short, the abundant energy we’ve all been privy to over the last several decades will begin to decline and that will intersect with the continued appetite around the world for energy consumption. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/659484745f19a34c7fb01432/8c5db7e2-54f6-4898-ab4d-69a3a725c5d8/image-2.png The Maevlo Blog - GENERAL MARKET OVERVIEW – Q2 2023 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/659484745f19a34c7fb01432/31cfc9fd-d954-45fb-a1eb-f2857027c044/image-3.png The Maevlo Blog - GENERAL MARKET OVERVIEW – Q2 2023 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/659484745f19a34c7fb01432/cc3c90d7-bd2d-4458-aa7c-55dfa05aed89/image-4.png The Maevlo Blog - GENERAL MARKET OVERVIEW – Q2 2023 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/659484745f19a34c7fb01432/02874631-38d1-4c29-b403-742046d507c3/image.png The Maevlo Blog - GENERAL MARKET OVERVIEW – Q2 2023 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/659484745f19a34c7fb01432/cc3c90d7-bd2d-4458-aa7c-55dfa05aed89/image-4.png The Maevlo Blog - GENERAL MARKET OVERVIEW – Q2 2023 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/659484745f19a34c7fb01432/937cc141-e04a-4b1d-b4c3-f2cc7a83e890/image-1.png The Maevlo Blog - GENERAL MARKET OVERVIEW – Q2 2023 - Make it stand out Oil prices and well counts https://maevlo.com/blog/mineral-royalty-deal-basics monthly 0.5 2024-01-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/659484745f19a34c7fb01432/d9599113-5df3-4981-9000-613fecf6e640/Screenshot+2024-01-17+at+11.38.02.png The Maevlo Blog - MINERAL ROYALTY DEAL BASICS (OVER A GLASS OF WINE) - By Marshall Porterfield I always find it interesting how when someone tells you what they do for a living, you’ll usually have some sort of idea what that means, but if you take the time to dig deeper, you always find that the real story is so much more rich and interesting.

Life. Investing. When we launched the MAEVLO adventure, these were the pillars we set up as guideposts. Some slogans are there to make customers feel good but, as most of you know, the name MAEVLO is a word built out of the names of my children, a daily reminder of why I’m here and who I’m working for. Today, we want to take a moment to introduce someone whom you may not have had a chance to meet or speak with but has been integral to the growth of MAEVLO. He’s been on this journey since Day One in various capacities, advising and helping out. Since he has recently come onboard in a more formal role, we thought it right to make his ears burn a bit. So without further ado, ladies and gentlemen, let us introduce Marshall Porterfield. https://maevlo.com/blog/category/Mineral+Sellers monthly 0.5 https://maevlo.com/blog/category/Investors monthly 0.5
