Quick answer — How do I sell my Black Warrior Basin mineral rights?

County-level selling pages with each county's live drilling stats:
Black Warrior coalbed-methane royalties are mature: production plateaued at roughly 100–120 Bcf a year from the mid-1990s through 2007 and has declined steadily since. Value turns on which wells are still on line, their current volumes and decline, the operator, and gas prices — not on the basin's historical well counts.
Because the gas here is produced from coal seams, whether it belongs to the coal owner, the gas owner or both depends on how those estates were severed in your chain of title. Title review before closing identifies the issue; whether the gas belongs to the coal estate, the gas estate, or both is a determination for a qualified oil and gas attorney, not something a buyer's title review decides.
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.
Much of the basin is family land that passed down before anyone drilled a gas well on it, so interests are often small, fractional and spread across relatives. Buckhead buys both producing and non-producing interests, whole or fractional.

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 2026-10-08, the Black Warrior Basin counties we track show at least 86 recent drilling permits and at least 7 drilled-but-uncompleted wells — activity that directly affects what buyers will pay. A written offer shows what a buyer will pay for your interest.

Buckhead Energy is a direct buyer, not a broker — we purchase mineral and royalty interests with our own capital. Buckhead Energy has been buying mineral and royalty interests since 2006.
