Michigan's Antrim gas wells are shallow-decline and long-lived — decades-old wells still cutting royalty checks, which supports real valuations.
Niagaran reef production is compartmentalized — your specific reef matters, and a serious buyer will reference your actual wells, not a statewide average.
We buy producing and non-producing Michigan interests, including fractional shares from family land.
Research your operator and wells through our operator directory and your county page.

Three steps: tell us about your Michigan 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, we handle and pay for the title work and closing, with funds usually wired in 30–45 days.
Producing and non-producing mineral rights, royalty interests (including NPRIs and ORRIs), and fractional or undivided interests anywhere in Michigan. Inherited interests are welcome — we can help complete transfer paperwork as part of closing.
No. The valuation and written offer are free with no obligation. If you sell, there are no broker commissions — Buckhead Energy is a direct buyer purchasing with its own capital, and we pay all title and 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 Michigan payors by wells operated are Riverside Energy Michigan, Cleveland Clinic, and Shell Oil Company. A royalty check from any Michigan 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.
