Oil‑Royalties Introduces Automated and Objective Due Diligence and Max‑Bid Value™ Inside the Virtual Auction™ Marketplace
Chicago, IL — January 23, 2026 — https://www.Oil‑Royalties.com (Oil‑Royalties) today announced how the company’s Virtual Auction™ Marketplace integrates its proprietary Max‑Bid Value™ (MBV) methodology with its GAAP‑compliant Cash Flow Model (CFM) to create a transparent, rules‑based framework for evaluating and acquiring U.S. Oil and Gas Royalty Assets.
The Virtual Auction™ Marketplace is built on the principle that buyers must be able to qualify assets quickly, determine objective bid ceilings, and complete due diligence within the compressed timelines common in oil and gas transactions, and adopt a risk management protocol before pulling any acquisition trigger. Traditional negotiated deals often allow only 30 to 45 days to close, and buyers frequently face unexpected all‑cash competitors, making disciplined pre‑LOI evaluation essential. The Virtual Auction™ Marketplace addresses these realities by embedding a standardized due diligence protocol directly into its workflow.
After E-Sign 1 (the Acquisition Agreement) is signed by the buyer, and before E-Sign 3 (the LOI) is presented to the asset seller, the Virtual Auction™ Marketplace releases Form D to the buyer, which offers buyers the necessary diligence overview of the subject asset including the Max‑Bid Value™ (MBV). The MBV is generated through a proprietary algorithm that prioritizes existing cash flow, production decline, oil gravity, well redundancy, and other critical asset criteria. The resulting MBV becomes an objective bid ceiling that buyers can choose to adopt, or not, inside the Virtual Auction™ Marketplace, helping buyers if they wish guidance, with a risk management tool useful for disciplined capital allocation to mitigate emotional or reactive bidding behavior. This service is status blind, and available to every subscriber. This creates a transparent, rules‑based environment where every bid is anchored to objective valuation rather than subjective enthusiasm.
The analysis that contributes to and populates Form D, is produced, in part, from the Cash Flow Model (CFM) — an objective tool that centralizes all assumptions, integrates production decline analysis, incorporates reserve evaluations, and models operating performance under unlimited what‑if scenarios. By integrating Max‑Bid Value™ (MBV) and the Cash Flow Model (CFM) into the Virtual Auction™ Marketplace, Oil‑Royalties delivers a unified valuation architecture that supports both rapid asset screening and objective financial analysis. This framework has been refined through decades of direct transaction experience and now serves as the backbone of the Virtual Auction™ Marketplace’s transparent, compliant, and valuation‑driven acquisition process.
