Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at Blackbuck Resources?
Samuel Oliver serves as CEO and is responsible for corporate strategy, client management, M&A, and capital sourcing. Justin Love is Executive Chairman and also serves as CEO of Ion Minerals and president of Love Energy Advisors.
Is Blackbuck Resources structured as a single family office or an operating company?
Blackbuck Resources is an operating company — a water midstream firm that designs, builds, and operates water infrastructure for oil and gas operators. It is not a family office or asset manager.
What infrastructure does Blackbuck operate in the Permian Basin?
In the New Mexico Delaware Basin, Blackbuck operates approximately 90 miles of gathering pipeline and 132,000 barrels per day of installed and permitted disposal capacity, including the Patriot Devonian SWD (25,000 BPD). In the Texas Delaware Basin, it operates the TR UE Blue SWD with 40,000 BPD permitted capacity after a 2025 shallow well conversion.
How does Blackbuck's offtake model differ from traditional midstream companies?
Blackbuck uses flexible offtake agreements that do not require acreage dedications, unlike many midstream operators. This allows E&P clients to adapt their water management needs as field development shifts in timing or location.
What is the relationship between Blackbuck Resources and Ion Minerals?
Justin Love, Executive Chairman of Blackbuck Resources, also serves as CEO of Ion Minerals, an E&P company focused on developing brine-borne lithium resources. The two are separate entities with overlapping leadership.
