New Mexico Minerals, Florida Residence

New Mexico has become one of America's hottest oil-producing states, with the Delaware Basin portion of the Permian driving record production levels. If you're a Florida resident who inherited New Mexico mineral rights, you may own a valuable asset that's attracting significant drilling activity.

Many Florida residents discover they own New Mexico minerals after inheriting from family members who lived in the Southwest, invested in mineral rights decades ago, or held homestead land. Managing these assets from across the country presents challenges:

Understanding New Mexico's different mineral laws

New Mexico state income tax on royalty income

Rapid development pace in the Delaware Basin

Complex BLM and state land issues in some areas

Major New Mexico Producing Areas

We buy minerals throughout New Mexico. The state's major producing regions include:

Delaware Basin

Southeast New Mexico's premier oil play. Counties: Lea, Eddy. Part of the larger Permian Basin, with prolific Bone Spring and Wolfcamp formations.

San Juan Basin

Northwest New Mexico natural gas. Counties: San Juan, Rio Arriba. Historic coal bed methane and conventional gas production.

Northwest Shelf

Extension of the Permian into New Mexico. Counties: Lea, Chaves, Roosevelt. Conventional production with some horizontal potential.

Central Basin Platform

Southeastern New Mexico oil. Counties: Lea, Eddy (eastern portions). Legacy production with waterflood and EOR activity.

New Mexico's Hot Market

New Mexico has risen to become the #2 oil-producing state in the U.S., surpassing North Dakota and trailing only Texas. The Delaware Basin in Lea and Eddy counties has driven this growth:

Record production: Over 1.8 million barrels per day and growing

Active drilling: Major operators drilling hundreds of new wells annually

Premium pricing: Delaware Basin minerals command top valuations

Proven reserves: Decades of remaining development potential

New Mexico-Specific Questions

Delaware Basin minerals in Lea and Eddy counties are among the most valuable in the country due to the prolific Wolfcamp and Bone Spring formations. Offers depend on your net mineral acres, current production, development stage, and specific location within the basin. We'll research your tract and provide a written offer. Buckhead makes a fair, competitive offer to purchase mineral and royalty interests directly from owners.
Yes — New Mexico can tax non-residents on New Mexico-source income, including mineral royalties, so you may have a New Mexico filing obligation while you hold producing minerals there. Selling can simplify your multi-state filing going forward, and since Florida has no state income tax, your ongoing obligations are lighter. What applies to your situation is a question for a CPA or tax attorney.
Yes, non-producing minerals can be quite valuable, especially in active areas like the Delaware Basin. Buyers consider drilling permits, nearby wells, and development potential. If operators are drilling near your tract, your unleased or undeveloped minerals may have significant value. We evaluate both producing and non-producing interests.
New Mexico has significant state and federal (BLM) mineral ownership alongside private minerals. If you own private minerals (fee minerals), you can sell them freely. State and federal minerals cannot be sold—they're leased from the government. Check your deed to confirm you own fee minerals. We only purchase private mineral interests.
