Black Stone Minerals Sees 16% Q1 Production Growth and Increased Insider Ownership Q1 2026 production grew 16%, supported by natural gas activity in the Louisiana Haynesville and Shelby Trough and oil output from the Permian Basin. Management reaffirmed full-year production guidance and declared a US$0.30 per unit distribution.
The company is pursuing a Haynesville acquisition program and new development agreements, including a deal with Caturus Energy in the Shelby Trough, while continuing to add mineral and royalty interests across its portfolio.
Executive Chairman Thomas L. Carter Jr. bought about 67,758 common units in recent open-market transactions worth roughly US$909,000, increasing his direct stake to 3,681,604 units following an upbeat Q1 call that highlighted volume growth and cash flow coverage.
Insider buying combined with confirmed production guidance and active drilling programs indicates management’s confidence in the current development plan and the company’s asset base.
You should still factor in recent operational issues, such as the well control incident, and the usual commodity price and execution risks that can affect volumes, cash flow and future distributions. Reported Earnings • May 07
