Sell Mineral Rights in Texas

"Texas mineral rights" isn't one market. It's at least five, and the first question we ask is which county you're in.

No other state we quote spans this much geologic ground. West Texas holds the Permian Basin's Midland and Delaware sides, still the most actively drilled oil trend in the country. South Texas has the Eagle Ford, a mixed oil-condensate-gas window running through Karnes, DeWitt, and La Salle counties. East Texas holds Haynesville acreage in Panola, Harrison, and Shelby counties, a dry gas play tied closely to Gulf Coast LNG demand. North-central Texas has the Barnett Shale around Tarrant and Johnson counties, one of the earliest shale plays in the country and now firmly mature. And the Texas Panhandle carries its own slice of the Anadarko Basin in counties like Hemphill and Wheeler, older and gas-leaning.

We don't quote a Texas tract off a statewide average. We quote it off which of these five plays it actually sits in, because a Midland Basin Wolfcamp check and a mature Barnett Shale check tell completely different stories about decline, remaining life, and what a buyer should reasonably pay.

Permian core: Midland and Delaware basins

The Permian remains the busiest drilling target in Texas, split between the Midland Basin on the east side and the Delaware Basin to the west, both running stacked pay across multiple Wolfcamp and Spraberry benches. Owners here often have the most current, most active production history we see anywhere, but also the steepest early decline, since modern Permian horizontals front-load a large share of their lifetime output into the first two years. We read your division order and check stubs to see exactly where your well sits on that curve before quoting, since a six-month-old well and a six-year-old well on the same lease terms can be worth very different amounts.

Eagle Ford: oil, condensate, and dry gas in the same trend

The Eagle Ford is unusual in that it runs through distinct fluid windows along its length, oil-rich in the updip counties, condensate-rich in the middle, and drier gas toward the downdip edge. Karnes and DeWitt counties sit in some of the richest condensate territory, which tends to command stronger royalty value than the drier southern edge. We check where your specific tract falls along that trend before pricing, since two Eagle Ford counties next to each other on a map can produce very different fluids.

Haynesville: dry gas tied to LNG demand

East Texas's Haynesville acreage in Panola, Harrison, and Shelby counties is dry gas, and its value has tracked the buildout of Gulf Coast LNG export capacity more directly than almost any other Texas play, since a meaningful share of Haynesville gas is contracted or sold with export markets in mind. That makes Haynesville royalty checks more sensitive to national and international gas price swings than an oil-cushioned Permian check, which is worth understanding when you're looking at a check stub that's moved a lot from one season to the next.

Barnett Shale: mature production, long shallow tail

The Barnett around Tarrant, Johnson, and neighboring counties was one of the first major shale plays in the country, and most of its wells are now fifteen to twenty years into production, sitting on the long, shallow tail that follows early decline. New drilling here is limited compared to the Permian or Eagle Ford, so we price Barnett interests mostly against current, steady production and remaining reserve life rather than nearby drilling momentum that mostly isn't happening anymore.

Texas Panhandle: the state's Anadarko Basin slice

Hemphill and Wheeler counties in the Panhandle sit on the Texas side of the broader Anadarko Basin, with older, mixed oil and gas production and lower overall activity than the state's headline plays. We price this acreage more like the Oklahoma Anadarko Basin than like the Permian, conservative and tied to current production and reserve life rather than aggressive nearby permitting.
