The Duffer "A" Unit is home to the #1 individual oil well in Eastland County: Duffer "A" 9 (API 4213337799), a vertical well spudded in 2000 that produced 328 bbl in February 2026. The well alone accounts for over 85% of the unit’s monthly production.
The unit produces from the Lower Duffer formation — a specific named member of the broader Pennsylvanian sequence. Duffer-target wells are notable in Eastland County for their somewhat higher per-well productivity compared to the dominant Marble Falls and Strawn completions.
Byrne Oil Company is a smaller private operator focused on the Adams field area. With only 7 active wells, the unit is concentrated; the bulk of the value sits in well #9.
Mineral interests in the Duffer "A" Unit typically take one of these forms:
Producing royalty interest — your tract’s contribution to the unit’s monthly revenue, paid by the operator
Non-producing mineral interest — fee mineral ownership in a tract currently outside active producing zones
Overriding royalty interest (ORRI) — royalty carved out of a working interest
Non-participating royalty interest (NPRI) — royalty interest with no leasing or development rights
Many Duffer "A" Unit interests trace their original lease bonus payment to the 1917-1925 Ranger oil boom era, with current ownership having passed through 3-5 generations of heirs.
