Arkansas mineral ownership splits into two different stories. North-central counties sit on the Fayetteville Shale / Arkoma Basin dry-gas fairway — a mature shale-gas play with extensive held-by-production wells and checks that track gas prices and post-production deductions. Southern Arkansas still produces from conventional Smackover and related oil reservoirs across Columbia, Lafayette, Union, and Ouachita counties. Buckhead Energy buys producing and non-producing Arkansas mineral and royalty interests statewide and prices each interest on its wells, lease burden, and county activity — not a statewide per-acre shortcut.
The Fayetteville Shale core runs through Conway, Cleburne, Faulkner, Van Buren, White, Independence, and Pope counties — almost entirely dry gas, with new drilling well below the mid-2000s peak but thousands of legacy wells still paying. South Arkansas oil remains concentrated in the Smackover trend (Columbia, Lafayette, Union, Ouachita). Current county-level volumes are in Buckhead's free Arkansas production data.
The Arkansas Oil and Gas Commission (AOGC) permits wells and maintains public well and production records — the same records buyers use when underwriting an offer. Arkansas is an ownership-in-place state: a severed mineral interest is perpetual and is not lost merely through non-use, so dormant-mineral lapse rules that apply in some other states do not erase Arkansas minerals by inactivity alone.
Arkansas levies severance tax on oil and gas production (withheld before royalty checks are paid), and royalty income can also be subject to income tax. Selling instead of holding has its own, different tax treatment — a CPA can walk through which fits your situation. We are a buyer, not a tax advisor.
Many Fayetteville interests today are declining gas royalties on HBP acreage, often split across heirs. Small decimals still carry real, priceable value when the wells pay, and consolidating paperwork-heavy fractions into one certain payment is one of the most common reasons Arkansas owners sell.

Send a direct buyer your deed or inherited paperwork and, if the wells pay, a recent royalty check stub — it identifies your operator and decimal interest. Buckhead provides a free written offer. Buckhead Energy typically provides an offer within 24–48 hours. Closings typically take 30–45 days, subject to title review and clearance.
Fayetteville interests are almost entirely dry-gas royalties. Value tracks current production and decline, natural gas prices, post-production deductions on your stubs, your decimal and royalty rate, and remaining well life — not a county-wide per-acre average. A written offer priced on the wells under your tract is the realistic answer; Buckhead provides a free written offer.
Usually yes, once ownership is established. Arkansas probate (or an ancillary probate for out-of-state heirs) and curative documents such as an affidavit of heirship are routine. Buckhead pays the title and closing costs (title research, curative, document preparation, and recording). Many of the interests we buy were inherited.
Arkansas is an ownership-in-place state: a severed mineral interest is perpetual and is not lost merely because it went undeveloped or no royalties were paid for a period of years. That differs from dormant-mineral statutes in some other states. Tax sales, deeds, and probate gaps can still affect record title — a title review in a real offer is how those issues surface. This is general information, not legal advice.
