How much are my mineral rights worth?

The value of mineral rights depends on several factors including location, production history, proven reserves, current market prices, and lease terms. Our experienced team provides free mineral rights appraisal using industry-leading valuation methods. Factors we consider include nearby well production, geological surveys, and current commodity prices.

How do I sell my mineral rights?

Selling mineral rights involves several steps: 1) Contact a reputable mineral rights buyer, 2) Review your deed and title, 3) Receive a transparent valuation explaining the offer, 4) Negotiate terms and closing timeline, 5) Complete title work and documentation, 6) Close the transaction. Buckhead Energy streamlines this process with quick closings and competitive offers.

What is the best company to sell mineral rights to?

The best mineral buying company offers fair market value, transparent pricing, quick closings, and professional service. Look for companies with proven track records, positive landowner reviews, and expertise in your specific basin or region. Buckhead Energy has been acquiring mineral rights since 2007, with successful transactions across 33 states.

Should I sell or lease my mineral rights?

The decision to sell or lease mineral rights depends on your financial goals, risk tolerance, and market conditions. Selling provides immediate cash with no ongoing management, while leasing offers potential long-term income but requires active management. Consider factors like current commodity prices, development potential, tax implications, and your need for immediate capital.

What are mineral rights?

Mineral rights are the legal rights to extract and profit from minerals beneath the surface of land, including oil, natural gas, coal, and other valuable substances. These rights can be owned separately from surface rights. Mineral rights ownership entitles you to lease payments, royalties from production, and the right to sell these assets.

How long does it take to sell mineral rights?

The timeline to sell mineral rights typically ranges from 30-90 days, depending on title complexity and documentation requirements. At Buckhead Energy, we streamline the process: initial evaluation and offer within 7-14 days, title review 2-4 weeks, and closing within 30-45 days of accepted offer.

Oregon Residents: Sell Your Oklahoma Mineral Rights

Oklahoma Minerals, Oregon Residence

Oklahoma has been producing oil and gas for over a century, creating generational wealth through mineral rights that have passed through families. If you're an Oregon resident who inherited Oklahoma minerals, you're managing a valuable asset from the Pacific Northwest—thousands of miles from the oil fields.

Many Oregon residents discover they own Oklahoma minerals after inheriting from family members who lived in Oklahoma during the oil boom years or migrated west generations ago. Managing these assets from Oregon can be challenging:

Understanding Oklahoma's unique mineral laws and pooling rules

Dealing with force pooling notices and elections

Tracking production across SCOOP, STACK, and legacy areas

Filing Oklahoma income tax returns for royalty income

Major Oklahoma Producing Areas

We buy minerals throughout Oklahoma. The state's geology supports multiple productive plays:

SCOOP Play

South Central Oklahoma Oil Province in the Woodford and Springer formations. Counties: Grady, Stephens, Garvin, Carter, McClain.

STACK Play

Sooner Trend, Anadarko, Canadian, Kingfisher area. Counties: Canadian, Kingfisher, Blaine, Dewey, Custer.

Anadarko Basin

One of the deepest sedimentary basins in North America. Multiple stacked pay zones across western Oklahoma.

Arkoma Basin

Eastern Oklahoma natural gas play. Counties: Pittsburg, Latimer, Coal, Hughes, Haskell.

Oklahoma's Unique Pooling Rules

Oklahoma has some of the strongest compulsory pooling (force pooling) laws in the country. If an operator wants to drill a well and you haven't voluntarily leased, they can pool your minerals through the Oklahoma Corporation Commission. Understanding your options when you receive a pooling notice is important.

When you sell your Oklahoma minerals, you transfer all future pooling decisions to the buyer. This can be a relief for owners who don't want to navigate these complex decisions from the Pacific Northwest.

Oklahoma-Specific Questions

A pooling notice means an operator wants to drill and is creating a drilling unit that includes your minerals. You typically have options: lease voluntarily, participate as a working interest owner, or be pooled at a statutory rate. If you're considering selling anyway, this is often a good time—a pending well can increase value. Contact us for a quick evaluation.

Yes, Oklahoma taxes non-resident income from Oklahoma sources, including mineral royalties. You likely need to file an Oklahoma non-resident return each year. When you sell, Oklahoma may tax the gain. Oregon may provide a credit for taxes paid to other states. Consult a tax professional for your specific situation.

Yes, we buy both leased and unleased minerals. Unleased minerals may have different value depending on drilling activity in the area. If operators are actively leasing nearby, your unleased minerals could be quite valuable. We'll evaluate your specific situation and provide an offer.

SCOOP (South Central Oklahoma Oil Province) and STACK (Sooner Trend Anadarko Canadian Kingfisher) are both horizontal drilling plays that have driven Oklahoma's oil and gas resurgence. SCOOP is in south-central Oklahoma, while STACK is further north. Both target the Woodford Shale and other formations. Minerals in either play can be quite valuable.
