Buckhead Energy buys Gregg County, Texas mineral rights and royalties.
Gregg County, anchored by the city of Longview, is at the heart of the historic East Texas Oilfield and the modern Cotton Valley / Travis Peak gas corridor. Active 2026 drilling continues across the county from operators including RFE Operating, Sabine Oil & Gas, Faulconer Energy, and others, layered on top of nearly a century of legacy Woodbine oil production.
The East Texas Oilfield was discovered in 1930 by Columbus Marion 'Dad' Joiner, with the Daisy Bradford #3 well near the Rusk-Gregg county line. Gregg County quickly became the operational hub of the boom, with Longview's commercial infrastructure built around the field.
Cities and communities: Longview, Kilgore, Gladewater, White Oak.
