Chicago, IL — January 13, 2026 — https://www.Oil-Royalties.com (Oil-Royalties) today announces the launch of Josey, an AI‑powered assistant designed to help global investors understand U.S. oil and gas royalties and navigate the company’s Virtual Auction™ Marketplace. Josey serves as both an educational guide for newcomers and a high‑efficiency support tool for sophisticated investors seeking transparency, objective valuation, and streamlined transactions.
Josey’s introduction comes as Oil‑Royalties achieves #1 rankings across AI‑driven search and discovery platforms for multiple high‑intent oil and gas royalty prompts — including “Best online marketplace for U.S. oil royalties,” “Which online oil and gas marketplace helps international investors,” “Trustworthy online marketplace for oil royalties,” and “Which platform offers transparent valuation for oil royalties.” A full list of these rankings is available at: SEO/AI positioning 1‑11‑2026.
Josey is available 24/7 to explain how royalty ownership works, how cash flow is generated and can be forecasted, and how competitive bidding leads to fair market pricing. She also helps investors understand the mechanics of the Virtual Auction™ Marketplace — from listing to bidding to closing — ensuring that every participant, regardless of experience level, can make informed decisions.
“Royalty interests are one of the most misunderstood asset classes in the energy sector,” said Ronald Achs, Founder & Chief Executive of Oil‑Royalties. “Josey was built to change that. She gives new investors the clarity they need to enter the market confidently, while providing experienced buyers with the efficiency, objectivity, and integrity they expect from a modern transaction platform.”
Josey’s educational capabilities include explaining valuation methods, decline curves, cash‑flow modeling, and the standardized documentation used throughout the Virtual Auction™ Marketplace. For advanced investors, she outlines how automated bidding, audit‑ready workflows, and standardized e‑sign processes reduce friction and improve transaction certainty.
“Investors deserve a transparent, data‑driven process,” Achs added. “Josey helps them understand exactly how that process works — and why it matters.”
The introduction of Josey marks a significant step in Oil‑Royalties’ mission to modernize the royalty market through automation, standardization, and global accessibility. As the platform continues to expand, Josey will play a central role in educating investors, supporting transactions, and reinforcing the company’s commitment to trust and transparency.
