Kentucky production is largely mature and conventional — steady small checks from long-lived wells, which we value on their actual payment history.
Many Kentucky interests are fractional shares on family land held for generations; we buy interests other buyers consider too small to quote.
We pay all title and closing costs. Closings typically take 30–45 days, subject to title review and clearance.
The company named on your royalty statement is usually your well operator; start your research from our Kentucky state and county pages.

Three steps: tell us about your Kentucky property (county and, if producing, a recent royalty statement help), we research the wells and activity around it and send a free written offer — typically within 24–48 hours — and 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.
Producing and non-producing mineral rights, royalty interests (including NPRIs and ORRIs), and fractional or undivided interests anywhere in Kentucky. Inherited interests are welcome — we can help complete transfer paperwork as part of closing.
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.
Compare at least two written offers, and ask each buyer to explain how it valued your interest — production history, decline, operator activity, and your decimal interest should all figure in. Our guide to fair pricing walks through each factor.
The company named on your royalty check stub is your payor — usually the well operator. The largest Kentucky payors by wells operated are Kentucky West Virginia Gas Company, Ashland Oil & Refining, and Equitable Production Company. A royalty check from any Kentucky payor is proof of a producing, sellable interest — Buckhead Energy buys mineral and royalty interests under every operator in the state.
Two minutes to start. A written offer to consider — no cost, no obligation, no pressure.
