Frequently Asked Questions

How do I sell my mineral rights in New Mexico?

Three steps: tell us about your New Mexico 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.

What do you buy in New Mexico?

Producing and non-producing mineral rights, royalty interests (including NPRIs and ORRIs), and fractional or undivided interests anywhere in New Mexico. Inherited interests are welcome — we can help complete transfer paperwork as part of closing.

Is there any cost or obligation?

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.

How do I know an offer for my New Mexico minerals is fair?

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.

Who pays oil & gas royalties in New Mexico?

The company named on your royalty check stub is your payor — usually the well operator. The largest New Mexico payors by wells operated are Hilcorp Energy Company, Eog Resources, and Oxy. A royalty check from any New Mexico payor is proof of a producing, sellable interest — Buckhead Energy buys mineral and royalty interests under every operator in the state.
