Founder and CEO
Trey Stanton is the Founder and CEO of ES3 Minerals LLC. Throughout his career, he has managed the deployment of over $500 Million to mineral owners through oil and gas lease and mineral acquisitions. With a deep passion for land and minerals, Mr. Stanton has personally negotiated well over 1,000 oil and gas leases and mineral transactions covering tens of thousands of net mineral acres, building a career defined by trust, transparency, and delivering value to mineral owners.
Mr. Stanton has combined his expertise in traditional landwork with innovative technology to streamline processes, maximize opportunities, and ensure mineral owners benefit from the full potential of their property. His extensive experience has earned him a reputation as a trusted advocate for landowners and a leader in the oil and gas industry.
Drawing from the discipline and teamwork cultivated during his time as a collegiate basketball player at Rice University, Mr. Stanton brings focus and strategy to every aspect of his work. His respect for land goes beyond his professional achievements. As an avid outdoorsman, he enjoys hunting, fishing, and spending time in nature with his wife and their two children. This personal connection to the land mirrors the care and dedication he brings to every transaction.
An active member of Hope Rock Church in Austin, TX, Mr. Stanton values community and the meaningful relationships he builds with mineral owners, colleagues, and neighbors. Through his leadership at ES3 Minerals, he remains committed to creating win-win solutions for mineral owners while advancing responsible resource stewardship.

Frequently Asked Questions
Still have questions? Contact our team via Info@ES3Minerals.com
Can you help me decide if holding my rights is better?
Yes. Our goal is to provide a balanced view so that you understand the pros and cons of each option—holding, leasing, managing more efficiently, or selling—without bias.
What makes ES3’s valuation process different?
Our evaluations are not only thorough but are explained in clear, everyday language. We want you to understand exactly how we arrived at your mineral rights’ value.
Will I feel pressured to sell?
Absolutely not. We provide the information, analysis, and support you need, and the decision is entirely yours.
How does ES3’s approach differ from traditional mineral acquisition methods?
We emphasize discovery and transparency. Our process involves listening to your goals, asking questions to understand your needs, and guiding you without pressure. We believe in finding win-win outcomes rather than pursuing quick transactions.
