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 2026-09-10, the Delaware Basin counties we track show 11,096 recent drilling permits and 11,870 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 Delaware 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.
