ABOUT
Evergreen Minerals ("Evergreen") serves as a Dallas-based investment office focused on oil and gas minerals. We acquire minerals the way a rancher assembles land — one deal at a time, and for keeps. That mindset shapes every decision we make, from the assets we pursue to the partners we work with.
The Evergreen name reflects that philosophy: long-term ownership and the disciplined reinvestment of cash flow to compound value over time.
Every transaction Evergreen has completed traces back to a relationship — built on a handshake.

INVESTMENTS
Together with its predecessors and affiliates, Evergreen has completed over 450 mineral and royalty transactions, totaling more than $170MM in value. Today, it manages interests in 200 counties and 17 states.
Evergreen invests for its own account and alongside co-investment partners. It opportunistically seeks properties ranging from $100K to $20MM that provide quality production with upside.
Evergreen manages the portfolio. All mineral and non-op assets are acquired and held through our holding companies and investment partnership:

Divestments: CEP, CEP II, & Case Royalties (fully divested)
LEADERSHIP
Charlie Matter entered the oil and gas business in 2010, in the early years of the shale boom. He was brought in by his good friend and mentor, Austin Eudaly, who was instrumental in shaping his career.
Charlie went on to build his portfolio through partnerships with industry investors. That success led to Evergreen, his investment office, where he continues to invest alongside partners, deal by deal, with a lean core team.
His path continued a four-generation family connection to the oil and gas business.
