Alabama minerals split into two very different stories. West-central Alabama sits on the Black Warrior Basin — one of the country's original coalbed methane provinces, with thousands of CBM and conventional gas wells across Tuscaloosa, Jefferson, Walker, Fayette, Lamar, and Pickens counties. Southwest Alabama runs on the Smackover trend: deep, long-lived oil and gas fields through Choctaw, Monroe, Escambia, and Mobile counties. Much of both is held as family land passed down for generations — which makes title work, not geology, the hard part of most Alabama transactions.
The Black Warrior Basin (Tuscaloosa, Jefferson, Walker, and the counties west toward the Mississippi line) produces coalbed methane and conventional gas from a dense, mature well stock. The Smackover trend in the southwest produces oil and gas from deep carbonate fields that have run for decades. New drilling is modest statewide — value rides on existing production and the operators running it.
The State Oil and Gas Board of Alabama permits and tracks wells, and its records are public — the place to trace current operators when checks stop or the payor name on your stubs has changed hands.
A large share of Alabama minerals ride under family land held across generations, often with several heirs owning undivided fractions and title never formally updated. Getting the record straight — probate, heirship documentation, county recording — is usually the real work in an Alabama sale.
Alabama levies a severance (privilege) tax on oil and gas production that is withheld before your check, royalty income is also subject to income tax, and producing minerals can draw county ad valorem tax. Confirm specifics with a CPA — and keep your stubs, since CBM gas prices realized in the basin run below the Henry Hub benchmark.

Send a direct buyer your deed or family paperwork and, if the wells pay, a recent royalty check stub — it identifies your operator and decimal interest. Buckhead Energy evaluates Alabama interests free, Black Warrior gas or Smackover oil, and returns a written no-obligation offer, typically closing in 30-45 days.
Often yes, within honest limits: CBM wells are shallow, long-lived, and decline slowly, so even older Black Warrior wells keep paying modest royalties for years. Value reflects that profile — steady but small checks. Owners with fractional CBM interests frequently find a lump sum more useful than decades of small checks, which is exactly the kind of interest we buy.
Yes. Each heir owns an undivided fraction they can sell independently, and unresolved title (missing probate, unrecorded heirship) is normal in Alabama family land. Selling together is cleaner, but no family consensus is required for any one heir's share.

Ground-truth your Alabama minerals against current, dated, sourced market data before you decide to sell:
As of , Alabama has the following records in this dataset: 16 recent drilling permits and 8 drilled-but-uncompleted (DUC) wells. By wells on record, the largest operator is Urban Oil & Gas Group (drilling activity is counted by state and county, never per operator). Source: Buckhead Energy analysis of public oil and gas data. Refreshed daily.
Permits are the state's 12-month total of monthly Buckhead Energy counts (months resting on 1–2 wells are withheld, so totals are floors). DUCs count wells spudded in the trailing three years with no reported first production. These dataset counts are not a complete census of permits or currently producing wells.
