Buckhead Energy computes every figure on this page from grouped records in public oil and gas data. The page shows counts, sums, percentiles and indexes only; it does not list individual wells, leases or permits.
Counts under 3 wells and percentiles under 5 wells are withheld; totals are floors.
Production bands count wells by reported monthly volume in the latest complete reporting month; bands with fewer than 3 wells are withheld. No well, lease or volume is listed individually.
Last computed: 2026-10-02. These figures are informational only and are not a valuation of any mineral or royalty interest.
Activity in a county does not establish anything about a specific tract. Compare these figures with your own lease, division order and statements when considering your mineral rights.
