Where We Buy · Alabama · Fayette County

Sell your Fayette County mineral rights.

Fayette, Winfield, Berry: we buy minerals and royalties throughout Fayette County, conventional Black Warrior gas with a corner of coalbed methane.

Fayette County is old conventional gas in the Black Warrior Basin, the kind drilled on 320-acre units in the 1970s and 1980s and still flowing a little from the Carter and Lewis sands. The royalties are small and the leases are older than most of the people receiving the checks, which is exactly the combination that gets mispriced, in both directions.

What produces here. Fayette County produced 1,963 barrels of oil and 41 million cubic feet of gas in August 2026 from 117 wells. The gas comes from McCracken Mountain, Blue Creek, Blooming Grove, West Fayette, Bethel Church, Davis Chapel, and Musgrove Creek; the oil comes from the Bluff and Wayside units. The operators you will see on checks and in the county records include Jabsco Oil Operating, Warrior Met Coal Gas, Land and Natural Resource Development, Johnson Oil and Gas, Hughes Eastern, Black Rock Operating, Black Snake Petroleum, and Pride Energy. Jabsco permitted the Cleveland Lumber Company 11-1, a Carter sand well in the Bankston field, on May 15, 2026, with an exceptional location and forced pooling granted by the Board on May 7, and was still waiting on a rig as of November 2, 2026.

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.

Questions

Straight answers for Fayette County owners

What are mineral rights worth in Fayette County?
It depends on the wells and units actually touching your tract, their decline, and your decimal, and in Fayette County that ranges from fifty-year-old Carter sand gas wells to a Blue Creek coalbed methane unit, so county averages mislead. We value off the actual wells and activity and show the work, free.
What taxes come off an Alabama royalty check?
Alabama stacks two production taxes: the privilege tax, with an 8 percent headline rate that steps down to 6 percent for wells permitted after July 1, 1988 and 4 percent for oil wells at 25 barrels a day or less and gas wells at 200 Mcf a day or less, and a 2 percent production tax. Both come off before your royalty is figured, and most Fayette County wells sit in the reduced tiers.
How long do I have to respond to an Alabama forced integration order?
Thirty days after actual drilling begins, or before total depth is reached, whichever comes first. The clock runs off the spud, not the order, so an owner can receive an order and have the real deadline arrive months later without further notice. Unleased owners who do not elect keep a protected 3/16 royalty free of costs, and the risk charge is 150 percent. Fayette County still sees these: the Board granted forced pooling on Jabsco's Cleveland Lumber Company 11-1 unit in May 2026.
What does it cost me to sell?
Nothing. Berlin pays all title work, document preparation, and recording costs. The offer you accept is the amount you receive.
