About Stephens County & The Bend Arch

Stephens County is in North-Central Texas, with Breckenridge as its county seat. It sits on the Bend Arch in the western Fort Worth Basin — a long-producing conventional oil & gas area known for the Caddo, Marble Falls, and shallower pay zones.

The Breckenridge field and surrounding Bend Arch leases have produced oil and gas for over a century. Production is mature and long-lived, with many shallow conventional wells declining slowly and continuing to pay royalties for decades.

Many mineral owners in Stephens County have received royalty payments for decades. As wells mature and production declines, some owners choose to sell their mineral rights to convert future uncertain income into immediate cash. Buckhead Energy purchases mineral rights across the Bend Arch and Fort Worth Basin.
