Tell us which county and, if producing, share a recent royalty check stub. We research your wells against live Bakken drilling data and send a free written offer, typically within 24-48 hours. If you accept, Buckhead pays the title and closing costs (title research, curative, document preparation, and recording). A seller's own taxes, or advisors the seller separately retains, are not part of Buckhead's closing costs. Closings typically take 30–45 days, subject to title review and clearance.
There is no meaningful per-acre basin average — value depends on your county, your specific tract and decimal interest, current production and decline, and the operator activity around you. As of 2026-09-07, the Bakken counties we track show 1,675 recent drilling permits and 2,660 drilled-but-uncompleted wells — activity that directly affects what buyers pay. A written offer is how you find out what YOUR interest is worth.
Direct buyers, brokers, and funds all work the Bakken — it attracts more buyer competition than any tier of geography except the county level. Vet any buyer on objective criteria: direct purchase with their own capital, verifiable track record, written no-obligation offers, and buyer-paid closing costs. Buckhead Energy has been buying mineral and royalty interests since 2006 and holds an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau (as of August 2025).
No. Buckhead provides a free written offer. Our offer comes at no cost and no obligation. Because Buckhead is the buyer (not a broker or intermediary), there is no broker commission taken out of your sale.

A seller's own taxes, or advisors the seller separately retains, are not part of Buckhead's closing costs.
