Most North Dakota minerals sit in long-established Bakken units with years of production history — that history is exactly what makes a fair written offer possible.
Many Bakken owners inherited fractional interests from homestead-era family land; we buy fractional and undivided interests.
North Dakota's regulator publishes excellent well data — check the wells and operators on your acreage before you respond to any offer.
See Bakken permits, spuds, and completions on our North Dakota drilling activity report.

Three steps: tell us about your North Dakota 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 North Dakota. 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 North Dakota payors by wells operated are Continental Resources, Hess Bakken Investments II, and Whiting Petroleum CORP. A royalty check from any North Dakota 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.
