Butler, Gilbertown, Toxey: we buy minerals and royalties throughout Choctaw County, where Alabama oil began.
Choctaw County is where Alabama oil started, at Gilbertown in 1944, and eighty years of production means eighty years of heirs. The checks are small, the title is old, and the interests are exactly the ones the large buyers do not bother with.
What produces here. Choctaw County produced 11,426 barrels of oil in August 2026 from Womack Hill, Gilbertown, North Choctaw Ridge, and Barrytown. The operators you will see on checks and in the county records include Pete's Pumping and Well Services at Gilbertown, Pruet Production at Womack Hill, RAM Petroleum, and J.R. Pounds.
Whatever you own here, producing royalties, non-producing acreage, or an inherited fraction split among family, we will identify it from whatever paperwork you have, value it off the actual wells and activity, and show you the reasoning with the offer. Free, no obligation, and no pressure: if keeping it is the right answer, we will say so. Inherited it? Start with inherited mineral rights in Alabama.
