Where BSM is headed

Black Stone Minerals isn't an oil and gas company in the way most investors think about the phrase. It drills nothing, operates nothing, and carries almost no debt. What it owns is the ground itself, mineral rights across roughly 20 million acres in 41 states, collecting royalty checks whenever someone else pulls hydrocarbons out of that dirt. The Haynesville shale in Louisiana and East Texas is the crown jewel, and that's where the story turns interesting over the next two years.
