County-level selling pages with each county's live drilling stats:
Black Warrior coalbed-methane royalties are mature: production peaked around 2002 and most fields have declined 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 2026-09-07, the Black Warrior Basin counties we track show 78 recent drilling permits and 2,536 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 Black Warrior Basin — 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. 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.
A recent royalty statement, division order, or deed helps when you have them. If you do not, start with the county, operator, and what you know about the interest - Buckhead can work from limited information.
