How Buckhead Energy researches, sources, reviews, and maintains the oil & gas content on this site — and the principles that keep it accurate and useful for mineral owners rather than hype.
Our guides, encyclopedia, and data pages are produced by the Buckhead Energy team — the same land, title, acquisitions, and research professionals who buy and evaluate mineral interests every day. Content is written and reviewed collectively rather than attributed to a single byline, because it reflects the firm\'s working knowledge, not one person\'s opinion. Where a topic is legal, tax, or valuation-specific, it is checked against primary sources and by the team members who work in that area.
We prioritize primary, verifiable sources:
State regulators — well, permit, and production records from the Texas Railroad Commission, Oklahoma Corporation Commission, and their equivalents in every state we cover.
Public oil and gas data, aggregated by Buckhead — the county-production datasets, field pages, and operator summaries you see here are Buckhead Energy analysis of public oil and gas data, published as aggregates only (no individual wells, leases or permits).
Government energy data — the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) for production and price context.
Statutes and case law — for legal topics such as dormancy, severance, and lease clauses, we cite the actual statute or code section, and note when a rule varies by state.
The figures are Buckhead Energy analysis of public oil and gas data. They are reference data, not a valuation, appraisal or investment advice — see our press & datasets page.
Data pages carry an as-of date and are refreshed on a monthly cadence from source records.
We round figures in prose and keep exact, dated numbers in the tables, so the text never drifts from the data.
When a statute or rule is state-specific, we say so rather than generalize.
We do not publish specific dollar valuations or per-acre price figures, because real value depends on your specific wells, decimal, lease, and play — see why there is no reliable average price.
We do not give legal, tax, or financial advice. Our content is educational; we point owners to qualified attorneys and CPAs for decisions specific to their situation.
We do not use high-pressure tactics, invented statistics, or fabricated authorship.
When we get something wrong, we fix it and note it. See our corrections policy for how to report an error and how we handle it.
