Sell Mineral Rights in Seagraves, TX
Cotton fields and oil rigs share the same ground around Seagraves, and Gaines County has been one of the more heavily drilled counties in the entire country over the last several years.
Seagraves sits on the western side of Gaines County, which runs right up against the New Mexico line and has seen dense Wolfcamp and Bone Spring horizontal development stack up alongside the farmland that's always defined this part of Texas. If you inherited minerals under a family farm out here, there's a good chance the surface is still growing cotton while the minerals below are producing from a multi-well horizontal pad.
Farming and drilling on the same section
It's common in Gaines County for the surface owner to still be actively farming the same land where minerals are being produced from horizontal wells drilled to depths well below any crop root. Surface use agreements handle the practical coexistence, and it doesn't diminish what your mineral interest is worth.
Why Gaines County activity has stayed strong
Gaines County has consistently ranked among the most actively permitted counties in Texas for horizontal Permian drilling over the past several years, and Seagraves sits close enough to that activity that acreage nearby has generally stayed in the development conversation rather than falling off.
Family land near the New Mexico line
A lot of the land around Seagraves has stayed in the same farming families for generations, with mineral ownership passed down alongside the surface acreage or split off from it years ago in an old deed. Because the county line with New Mexico sits close by, some families here also hold small interests just across the state line, which we're glad to look at together with your Texas acreage.
Whatever the mix of paperwork, we start by confirming what you actually own through Gaines County clerk records before discussing a number.
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.
There's still a working farm on the surface above your minerals near Seagraves. Does that affect their value?
No. Surface farming and mineral production coexist through standard surface use agreements, and horizontal wells are drilled well below the depths that affect farming.
Is Gaines County still actively drilled?
Yes, it's consistently been one of the more heavily permitted counties in the state for horizontal Permian development. We confirm current activity on your specific tract before quoting a number.
How do you know if your Seagraves-area interest is pooled into an active unit?
Send your documentation and we'll check current spacing units and permits near your tract to give you a clear answer.
You also own a small interest just across the New Mexico line. Can you look at both together?
Yes. We're glad to review your Texas and New Mexico interests together, even though they fall under different state regulatory records.
