New Mexico Minerals, Ohio Residence

New Mexico may seem like a world away from Ohio, but many Ohio residents own mineral rights in the Land of Enchantment through inheritance or family investments. The Delaware Basin in southeastern New Mexico has become one of the most active drilling regions in the country, making these minerals increasingly valuable—and increasingly complex to manage from the Midwest.

Whether you inherited New Mexico minerals from relatives who worked in the oil fields, or your family made investments during earlier booms, managing these assets from Ohio presents unique challenges:

Understanding New Mexico mineral and pooling laws

Dealing with multiple operators in Lea and Eddy counties

Tracking production across different formations

Filing New Mexico income tax returns for royalty income

Major New Mexico Producing Areas

We buy minerals throughout New Mexico. The state's oil and gas production is concentrated in specific areas:

Delaware Basin

The western portion of the Permian Basin, one of the most active drilling regions in North America. Counties: Lea, Eddy. Multiple pay zones: Wolfcamp, Bone Spring, Avalon.

Permian Basin (NM Portion)

Southeast New Mexico shares the prolific Permian Basin with West Texas. Same geology, same operators, same value potential.

San Juan Basin

Northwest New Mexico natural gas production. Counties: San Juan, Rio Arriba. Mature basin with legacy production.

Other Areas

Production also occurs in Chaves, Roosevelt, and other counties with varying levels of activity.

The Ohio-New Mexico Connection

It may seem unusual for Ohio residents to own minerals in New Mexico, but it happens more often than you'd think. Families who worked in the oil industry often ended up with interests in multiple states. Relatives who moved west for health or retirement sometimes invested in mineral rights. And inheritances can bring surprises—distant land and mineral ownership from family branches you may have barely known.

No matter how you came to own New Mexico minerals, the distance from Cleveland or Cincinnati to Carlsbad, New Mexico makes in-person management impractical. Converting these distant assets to cash eliminates the ongoing management burden.

New Mexico-Specific Questions

The Delaware Basin is one of the most active and valuable drilling regions in North America. Minerals in Lea and Eddy counties can command premium prices due to the stacked pay potential (multiple productive formations), active operator development, and proven reserves. Values vary by specific location within the basin.
Yes, New Mexico taxes non-resident income from New Mexico sources, including mineral royalties. You likely need to file a New Mexico non-resident return each year you receive royalties. When you sell, New Mexico may tax the gain. Ohio may provide a credit for taxes paid to other states. Consult a tax professional for details.
New Mexico has significant federal land ownership, and some surface landowners receive royalties from federal minerals leased by the BLM. Private mineral ownership works differently. We purchase privately-owned (fee) mineral rights. If you're unsure whether your minerals are private or federal, we can help you determine ownership.
The San Juan Basin is a mature natural gas basin with declining production in many areas. Values are generally lower than the Delaware Basin, but minerals in productive areas still have value. We evaluate all New Mexico minerals and can tell you what your specific interest is worth.
