Eutaw, Forkland, Boligee: we buy minerals and royalties throughout Greene County, quiet acreage on the southwest edge of the Black Warrior coalbed methane.
Greene County got one taste of the coalbed methane business and three tastes of the shale business, and none of them stuck. The Black Warrior coal gas fields that pay thousands of royalties in Tuscaloosa County thin out before they reach Eutaw, and the deep shale tests that briefly made Greene interesting around 2008 were dry. What is left is mineral ownership without wells, which is still worth identifying properly and valuing honestly.
What produces here. Nothing today. The State Oil and Gas Board lists 59 wells in Greene County and none producing. Taurus Exploration's Taylor Creek Unit, 29 coalbed methane wells permitted in 1990 and 1991 in the north end of the county, reported 66 million cubic feet in 1992, 39 million in 1993, and almost nothing in 1994 before it was plugged, and BWNR's and Huber Energy's 2009 wells in the same section were dry or cancelled. The shale wildcats, Energen's Poole 1-5 in 2007, Chesapeake's Lamb 1-3H to 11,560 feet in 2008, and Hillwood Energy's Tate 9-4 and Caldwell 19-15 in 2010 and 2011, were all dry and abandoned, and no permit has been issued in the county since March 2011. The Board's production database has no Greene County entry for August 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.
Taurus Exploration's unit in the far north of the county, drilled in 1990 and 1991, produced gas from 1992 to 1994 and was plugged; a 2009 redrilling attempt by BWNR and Huber Energy found nothing.
Energen, Chesapeake, and Hillwood Energy drilled deep shale wildcats here between 2007 and 2011, to as much as 11,900 feet, and every one was dry.
