TL;DR Buckhead Energy buys mineral and royalty interests operated by Continental Resources — a free written offer, no broker commissions, and buyer-paid closing, whether you own minerals in state or out of state.
Continental Resources is a strong operator, but many mineral owners choose to convert their Continental-operated interests to a lump-sum payment for a variety of practical reasons.
Since Continental went private in 2022, the company no longer files public financial reports. Mineral owners have less visibility into drilling plans, capital spending, and the company's long-term operational direction.
Commodity prices fluctuate, wells decline, and market conditions change. Selling your Continental-operated mineral rights converts an uncertain future income stream into a lump-sum cash payment today.
Many Continental mineral owners live outside Oklahoma or North Dakota. Selling eliminates the burden of tracking royalty payments, filing multi-state tax returns, and managing assets from a distance.
Oil and gas wells naturally decline in production over time. Continental's mature SCOOP and Bakken wells produce less each year, meaning your monthly royalty income decreases. Selling now captures the remaining value of those declining production streams at today's prices.
Mineral rights become increasingly complex to manage across generations. Many mineral owners choose to sell Continental-operated interests to simplify their estate, divide proceeds among heirs cleanly, or consolidate assets rather than passing fractional mineral interests to multiple beneficiaries.
Buckhead Energy purchases mineral rights across all of Continental's primary operating regions.
Continental Resources is a dominant operator in Oklahoma's SCOOP (South Central Oklahoma Oil Province) play, which Harold Hamm helped pioneer. Continental holds hundreds of thousands of net acres across central and southern Oklahoma targeting the Woodford and Springer formations.
The SCOOP play is characterized by high oil-content wells with strong initial production rates and long production tails. Continental's Woodford Shale wells in this region have consistently ranked among the most productive in the Anadarko Basin. Buckhead is an active buyer of SCOOP mineral rights across Oklahoma. Buckhead provides a free written offer. Our offer comes at no cost and no obligation. Continental-operated Oklahoma counties we most often evaluate include:
Garvin County, Oklahoma - Core SCOOP acreage
Grady County, Oklahoma - Major SCOOP operations
Stephens County, Oklahoma - Southern SCOOP extension
Carter County, Oklahoma - Woodford Shale operations
McClain County, Oklahoma - SCOOP northern extent
Continental Resources is the pioneer of Bakken Shale development and remains one of the largest operators in the Williston Basin. Harold Hamm's early vision of the Bakken's potential transformed North Dakota into a major oil-producing state.
Continental's Bakken operations target both the Middle Bakken and Three Forks formations, utilizing advanced horizontal drilling and completion techniques that the company helped develop. With decades of operational history in western North Dakota, Continental's wells provide well-understood production profiles for evaluating mineral interests. Buckhead Energy purchases mineral rights in Continental's key North Dakota counties:
McKenzie County, North Dakota - Core Bakken operations
Mountrail County, North Dakota - Eastern Bakken acreage
Dunn County, North Dakota - Central Bakken development
Williams County, North Dakota - Northern Bakken acreage
Buckhead Energy evaluates multiple factors when making an offer on Continental-operated minerals.
Current Production: Active wells and monthly royalty income from Continental-operated leases directly influence value.
Remaining Reserves: Estimated recoverable oil and gas beneath your acreage based on decline curve analysis and formation potential.
Commodity Prices: Current and forward-looking oil and natural gas prices affect the present value of future royalty payments.
Location & Formation: SCOOP Woodford/Springer and Bakken/Three Forks wells carry different production profiles and economics.
Development Potential: Undeveloped acreage with additional drilling locations in Continental's inventory adds upside value.
Net Mineral Acres: The size of your mineral interest and your royalty percentage under the lease determine your share of production revenue.

Continental Resources was taken private by Harold Hamm and his family in 2022. Your lease terms and royalty payments remain the same, but the company is no longer required to file quarterly or annual financial reports with the SEC. This means mineral owners have less visibility into Continental's financial position, drilling budgets, and long-term development plans. For some owners, this reduced transparency is a reason to consider selling.
The value of Continental-operated mineral rights depends on several factors: the play (SCOOP vs. Bakken), current production levels, remaining reserves, net mineral acreage, royalty rate, and prevailing commodity prices. SCOOP Woodford and Bakken wells can have different production profiles and economics. Buckhead evaluates interests using production data, geological analysis, and current market conditions.

Yes, you can sell your mineral rights even when Continental Resources holds an active lease on your property. The existing lease simply transfers to the new mineral owner along with the deed. Your current lease terms, royalty rate, and all other provisions remain fully intact. Active production under a Continental lease often makes mineral rights more valuable because it provides proven revenue data.
