  • "Great tool for the independent mineral, royalty and working interest buyer for quick evaluation."

  • "4cast is an absolute game changer. Not only is it user friendly and deadly accurate, but it is also a value creator. Whether valuing reserves, trying to decide whether or not to take down the next deal, or prospecting vertical production in Seminole County- it does it all. It is time to leave the “big boys” and become a BBA Client."
