RTC Royalty

We are a small group consisting of a petroleum landman and genealogy researchers with extensive experience in royalty title curative in the oil and gas field. RTC consist of three partners (Bob Phipps, Michael Smith, and Gabriel Hill). RTC was started by Bob Phipps who served in the navy for 21 years and then went to work as an independent petroleum landman in Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Kansas for over 40 years. Bob and his wife Nayna retired to Kentucky in 1994. Nayna passed away in 2015 and instead of staring at four walls, he started back into researching and curing mineral interest properties. Bob soon recruited Michael Smith and Gabriel Hill. Michael Smith is an experienced mineral/royalty trader who has spearheaded numerous ownership transfers that have resulted in owners being placed in pay status with a myriad of oil companies. Gabriel Hill is a proficient researcher in both genealogy and mineral/royalty data.
