GENERATIONAL MINDSET
ABOUT
Evergreen Minerals ("Evergreen") serves as a Dallas-based private investment office and management platform. We acquire minerals the way a rancher acquires land — to keep them. 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.

LEADERSHIP
In 2010, during the early years of the shale boom, Charlie Matter was brought into the oil and gas business by his good friend and early mentor, Austin Eudaly, who was instrumental in shaping his career. He later partnered with industry investors to lay the groundwork for what has become Evergreen.
That path also continued a four-generation family connection to the oil and gas business. His great-great-grandfather, WB Corlett, led the lease department of the Texas Company (later Texaco). He later became an independent operator, working across the Waggoner Ranch, Ranger Field, and North Texas. His great-grandfather, TC Moss, was an executive with General American Transportation Corporation. His grandfather, Lester Matter, was a Dallas independent operator active in the Goose Creek Field in Southeast Texas.
Evergreen operates with a lean core team and trusted third-party expertise, providing strong capabilities in property evaluation, title, transaction due diligence, and mineral management.
