How much are my mineral rights worth?

The value of mineral rights depends on several factors including location, production history, proven reserves, current market prices, and lease terms. Our experienced team provides free mineral rights appraisal using industry-leading valuation methods. Factors we consider include nearby well production, geological surveys, and current commodity prices.

How do I sell my mineral rights?

Selling mineral rights involves several steps: 1) Contact a reputable mineral rights buyer, 2) Review your deed and title, 3) Receive a transparent valuation explaining the offer, 4) Negotiate terms and closing timeline, 5) Complete title work and documentation, 6) Close the transaction. Buckhead Energy streamlines this process with quick closings and competitive offers.

What is the best company to sell mineral rights to?

The best mineral buying company offers fair market value, transparent pricing, quick closings, and professional service. Look for companies with proven track records, positive landowner reviews, and expertise in your specific basin or region. Buckhead Energy has been acquiring mineral rights since 2007, with successful transactions across 33 states.

Should I sell or lease my mineral rights?

The decision to sell or lease mineral rights depends on your financial goals, risk tolerance, and market conditions. Selling provides immediate cash with no ongoing management, while leasing offers potential long-term income but requires active management. Consider factors like current commodity prices, development potential, tax implications, and your need for immediate capital.

What are mineral rights?

Mineral rights are the legal rights to extract and profit from minerals beneath the surface of land, including oil, natural gas, coal, and other valuable substances. These rights can be owned separately from surface rights. Mineral rights ownership entitles you to lease payments, royalties from production, and the right to sell these assets.

How long does it take to sell mineral rights?

The timeline to sell mineral rights typically ranges from 30-90 days, depending on title complexity and documentation requirements. At Buckhead Energy, we streamline the process: initial evaluation and offer within 7-14 days, title review 2-4 weeks, and closing within 30-45 days of accepted offer.

Florida Residents: Sell Your Oklahoma Mineral Rights

Oklahoma Minerals, Florida Residence

Oklahoma has been producing oil and gas for over a century, and many families have owned mineral rights there for generations. If you're a Florida resident who inherited Oklahoma mineral rights, you're likely dealing with:

Oklahoma's unique "forced pooling" laws

The Oklahoma Corporation Commission's complex regulations

Multiple small interests scattered across different counties

Oklahoma state income tax on royalty income

Selling your Oklahoma minerals converts a complicated, distant asset into immediate cash—and eliminates the annual Oklahoma tax filing requirement.

Major Oklahoma Producing Areas

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

SCOOP Play

South Central Oklahoma Oil Province. Counties: Grady, Stephens, Garvin, Carter, McClain. Oil-rich Woodford and Springer formations.

STACK Play

Sooner Trend Anadarko Canadian Kingfisher. Counties: Canadian, Kingfisher, Blaine. Meramec and Osage formations.

Anadarko Basin

Western Oklahoma's deep gas basin. Counties: Beckham, Custer, Washita, Caddo. Historic production plus new horizontal development.

Oklahoma's Unique Laws

Oklahoma has specific laws that affect mineral owners:

Forced pooling: The Oklahoma Corporation Commission can force mineral owners into drilling units

Small interest owners: Often little negotiating power when pooled

State income tax: Oklahoma taxes non-resident mineral income at state rates

Probate requirements: May need Oklahoma probate even if deceased lived elsewhere

Oklahoma-Specific Questions

Oklahoma allows operators to "force pool" mineral owners who don't voluntarily lease. The Oklahoma Corporation Commission sets terms, and you become part of the drilling unit whether you agree or not. As an out-of-state owner, you may not receive pooling notices in time to respond. Selling eliminates this concern.

Yes, Oklahoma taxes non-residents on income from Oklahoma sources, including mineral royalties. You may need to file an Oklahoma non-resident return annually. When you sell, you'll file a final Oklahoma return for the sale year, then no more Oklahoma filings. Combined with Florida's zero state tax, selling simplifies your tax situation significantly.

Oklahoma minerals often get fractionalized over generations, leaving heirs with small interests. Even tiny royalty checks can have meaningful sale value because buyers consider future development potential in addition to current production. We've purchased interests worth $5,000-$50,000+ that were generating under $100/month in royalties.

Sometimes minerals need to go through Oklahoma probate even if the deceased lived in another state. We can help evaluate your situation. In some cases, we work with title attorneys to clear title issues as part of the transaction. We'll explain your options and any additional steps needed.
