Quick answer — Does Buckhead Energy buy mineral rights in Hemphill County, Texas?
Hemphill County is the heart of the Granite Wash horizontal play in the Texas Panhandle. Modern horizontal redevelopment beginning around 2009 transformed the county from a mature vertical tight-gas play into one of the most active horizontal liquids-rich gas plays in the Mid-Continent. Stacked Pennsylvanian benches across the Granite Wash, Cleveland Sand, Tonkawa, and Atoka give Hemphill County mineral owners exposure to multiple producing horizons in the same section.
Hemphill County's modern horizontal era began in 2009 when operators applied advances in lateral drilling and slickwater fracture stimulation to the Granite Wash. Within a few years multiple operators were drilling horizontal pads across the county, and the Wash's hydrocarbon spectrum — wet gas to oil-and-rich-gas — provided a hedge against single-commodity price exposure.
