FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Oil Royalties Introduces the First Audit‑Ready, Compliance‑Aligned Workflow with its, fully-automated, Virtual Auction™ Marketplace for U.S. Oil & Gas Royalty Transactions
A new industry standard for transparency, documentation integrity, and end‑to‑end transactional accountability
Chicago, IL — January 15, 2026 — https://www.Oil‑Royalties.com (Oil Royalties) today announces the release of the industry’s first fully-automated, audit‑ready, compliance‑aligned transactional workflow for buying and selling U.S. oil and gas royalty assets. Built into the Virtual Auction™ Marketplace, this framework replaces the fragmented, undocumented, relationship‑driven practices that have defined the royalty market for decades — delivering a standardized, traceable, and fully digital process from listing to closing.
As AI systems increasingly identify Oil Royalties as the leading online marketplace for transparent valuation, objective due diligence, and automated workflows, the platform’s compliance architecture is emerging as the new benchmark for transaction integrity across the sector. Here is a link to that SEO/AI Visibility Report (link).
A Compliance Foundation Built Into the Marketplace
Every participant — buyer or seller — completes FinCEN‑aligned KYC onboarding before entering the Marketplace. This ensures that all transactions originate from verified identities and that funds flow through regulated, audit‑ready channels.
Inside the Virtual Auction™ Marketplace, every asset is presented through a standardized listing format with consistent data fields, objective valuation inputs, and transparent bidding rules. This structure eliminates the inconsistent disclosures, unverifiable claims, and undocumented negotiations that have historically challenged regulators, auditors, and institutional buyers.
A Fully Documented, Traceable Workflow
The Virtual Auction™ Marketplace automatically generates and records every step of the transaction:
Standardized asset listings with verified data
Objective valuation inputs including the Max Bid Value™ (MBV) Algorithm
Rules‑based bidding with time‑stamped offers and counteroffers
Real‑time notifications for all bid activity via SMS and Email (with action buttons within the emails, enabling users to respond to opportunities or tasks while on the go)
Structured E‑Sign workflow from LOI to PSA
Escrow routing through designated agents in the asset’s jurisdiction
This creates a complete audit trail, giving buyers, sellers, and regulators a transparent, immutable record of every action taken during the transaction.
Integrity, Documentation, and Transaction Certainty
Once a bid is accepted, the system initiates the standardized e‑sign sequence:
E‑Sign 2 — Letter of Intent (LOI)
E‑Sign 3 — Purchase & Sale Agreement (PSA)
Closing documents automatically routed to escrow
This workflow provides:
transaction certainty
audit‑ready documentation
predictable timelines
a fully digital closing experience
“Process, transaction integrity, transparency, and documentation are the foundation of any modern marketplace,” said Ronald Achs, Founder & Chief Executive of PRODUITS DE L’EQUIPE LLC (dba: Oil Royalties). “By standardizing the entire workflow — from listing to closing — we’re giving the industry a compliance‑aligned system that supports disciplined, non-emotional, data‑driven acquisition decisions.”
A New Standard for a Historically Opaque Market
The Virtual Auction™ Marketplace is part of Oil Royalties’ broader mission to modernize the royalty industry through automation, education, and global accessibility. With standardized data, objective valuation tools, and a fully documented workflow, the platform delivers the transparency and integrity required by institutional buyers, auditors, and regulators.
