Kern County oil has paid families for a century. The state's direction makes honest valuation matter more than ever.
Berlin buys California minerals and royalties, primarily in the San Joaquin Basin of Kern County.
California is the hardest state in the country to value honestly. The wells themselves are some of the most predictable anywhere, shallow heavy oil that declines slowly for decades, but the regulatory future is genuinely uncertain. Buyers use that uncertainty to justify very low offers. We would rather show you exactly how we discount for it, so you can see the difference between a fair risk adjustment and a number that just hopes you will not ask.
