Buckhead Energy buys Granite Wash mineral rights across the Texas Panhandle and western Oklahoma horizontal play.
Mineral interests in Hemphill, Wheeler, Roberts, Lipscomb, and adjacent OK counties.
Start NowTL;DR The Granite Wash is a Pennsylvanian-age tight conglomeratic and arkosic sandstone interval producing oil, condensate, and rich gas across Hemphill, Wheeler, Roberts, and Lipscomb counties in the Texas Panhandle, plus Roger Mills, Beckham, Custer, and Washita counties in western Oklahoma. Modern horizontal redevelopment beginning around 2009 transformed the play from a vertical tight-gas target into one of the most active horizontal Mid-Continent plays.
The Granite Wash is a Pennsylvanian-age tight conglomeratic and arkosic sandstone interval shed off the Amarillo-Wichita uplift. It is a key producing horizon across the eastern Texas Panhandle (Hemphill, Wheeler, Roberts, Lipscomb counties) and adjacent western Oklahoma counties (Roger Mills, Beckham, Custer, Washita). Modern horizontal redevelopment beginning around 2009 transformed the Granite Wash from a vertical tight-gas play into one of the most active horizontal liquids-rich gas plays in the Mid-Continent.
For mineral owners, the practical effect is that historically modest royalty income from vertical Brown Dolomite or shallow Hugoton wells was supplemented or replaced by new horizontal Granite Wash production starting around 2009–2014. Many original Granite Wash leases were drafted with vertical-only economics in mind and may now be supporting multi-well horizontal pad development.
Lithology: Coarse-grained arkosic sand and conglomerate with low matrix permeability. Stimulation-dependent productivity.
Depth: Typically 11,500 to 15,500 ft TVD across the trend.
Stacked benches: The Granite Wash is informally subdivided into upper, middle, and lower benches (Wash A through Wash F in some operator nomenclatures), with multiple horizontal targets stacked vertically in the same section.
Hydrocarbon window: Wet gas to oil-and-rich-gas across the trend. Updip eastern and northeastern positions are oilier; downdip western and southwestern positions are drier gas.
Co-developed targets: The Granite Wash sits between the shallower Cleveland Sand and deeper Atoka and Morrow intervals. Many sections support development at multiple depths.
