Sell Mineral Rights in Barstow, TX
Barstow sits along the Pecos River, an old farming town that's now surrounded by Delaware Basin drilling it never saw coming a generation ago.
Ward County has irrigated farmland along the river that predates the oil business here by decades, and Barstow grew up around that agriculture. The Wolfcamp and Bone Spring development that's spread through Ward County over the past several years now sits underneath and around a lot of that same farmland, which means mineral ownership here often traces to families who thought of themselves as farmers first.
Farmland on top of active Delaware acreage
Surface use around Barstow often involves working irrigated farmland, which can complicate drilling logistics compared to open rangeland elsewhere in Ward County, but it doesn't reduce what's underneath economically. We look at the mineral estate independently from how the surface gets used.
Building a real offer
Send us a division order or recent check stub and we'll pull the actual well data tied to your interest. Ward County's Wolfcamp and Bone Spring activity has been substantial enough in recent years that even modest acreage near Barstow can carry real, defensible value.
Family farms, split minerals
It's common around Barstow for a family that's farmed the surface for generations to have split mineral ownership among heirs who no longer live nearby. We buy individual fractional shares and can work with just your piece.
What happens after you send paperwork
We pull the production and permitting history tied to your specific tract, build a range, and get back to you with a straightforward explanation of how we arrived at it. There's no obligation at that stage, and plenty of owners take the number and decide to hold, which is entirely fine by us.
Begin with the county record trail
A royalty review in each state starts with the recording office, legal description, deed chain, reservations, lease, units, division orders, payor records, statements, and regulatory well data.
Route local legal and tax questions correctly
Probate, marital property, dormant-mineral law, pooling, recording, transfer tax, regulatory filings, and payor-notice rules can differ from state to state. Those questions belong with qualified advisers.
Read the local tract against the Permian schedule
In every state, the royalty run sheet keeps the tract separate from broad county averages. The review pairs the legal description with producing wells, product lines, paid decimals, deductions, check history, decline, nearby permits, offset completions, operator changes, title exceptions, retained depths, and the exact property schedule in the written offer. Observed payments and recorded interests stay distinct from possible future locations, marketing claims, and assumptions that still need dated support.
Does farmland on the surface affect what your minerals are worth?
Not directly. The mineral estate is valued on the geology and production below, though surface use can occasionally affect drilling logistics and timing.
Is Ward County still seeing active drilling near Barstow?
Yes, Wolfcamp and Bone Spring development has been ongoing across much of the county in recent years, including areas around Barstow.
You only have an old lease document, no recent check stub, can you still help?
Yes, an old lease with a legal description is enough to start. We'll cross-reference it against current production and permitting records.
