Permits: 653 in the last 12 months vs 780 in the prior 12 (×0.84)

Quick answer — Does Buckhead Energy buy mineral rights in Midland County, Texas?
Midland County sits at the heart of the Midland Basin, the eastern half of the Permian and one of the most sought-after oil regions in the United States. The city of Midland is the commercial capital of the Permian, and mineral interests here are among the most actively developed in the country.
Conventional Spraberry production dates to the 1950s, but horizontal development of the stacked Spraberry and Wolfcamp benches transformed Midland County into a premier shale target over the last decade.
Cities and communities: Midland.
