Sell Mineral Rights in Pecos, TX
Pecos is the seat of Reeves County and about as close to the center of current Delaware Basin drilling as any town gets.
Drive into Pecos from any direction and you'll pass frac spreads, water disposal facilities, and man-camp housing that wasn't there fifteen years ago. This town has been an oil town since the early days of the Permian, but the scale of what's happening around it now is different from anything in its earlier history, and that's reshaped what mineral ownership here is worth.
Stacked pay right under town and around it
Acreage in and around Pecos commonly produces from multiple formations — Wolfcamp, Bone Spring, sometimes Avalon shale — stacked on top of each other under the same surface footprint. If your family's minerals are anywhere near town, it's worth checking whether your interest is pooled into more than one spacing unit, since that's common here and changes how your royalty adds up across separate checks.
The Pecos River and old town-adjacent leases
Some of the oldest leases in this part of Texas run through land along the Pecos River corridor, tied to allotments and ranching-family holdings that predate the current horizontal boom by decades. If your interest traces back to one of those older leases, held by production through the years, a new operator picking up the acreage for horizontal development can suddenly make that old paper worth far more than the family ever expected.
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.
Why do you get more than one royalty check for what you thought was a single mineral interest near Pecos?
Multiple formations are often developed separately under the same acreage here, each with its own spacing unit and operator. We look at all of your units together when valuing your overall interest.
Is Pecos still seeing a lot of new wells, or has activity leveled off?
It remains one of the most actively permitted areas of the Delaware Basin, though pace varies block by block. We check current activity on your specific tract before quoting anything.
your family's lease near Pecos is decades old. Does that matter?
It can help. Older leases that have been continuously held by production remain valid, and if new horizontal development picks up the same acreage, that old paper can suddenly be worth considerably more than it was when it was signed.
