Birmingham, Bessemer: we buy minerals and royalties throughout Jefferson County, Black Warrior gas under the Birmingham metro.
Jefferson County is Birmingham, and under its western suburbs are nearly a thousand coalbed methane wells still being added to. The royalty owners are frequently descendants of the families who sold the coal a century ago and kept, or did not keep, the gas.
What produces here. Jefferson County produced 752 million cubic feet of coalbed methane in August 2026 from 946 wells in the Oak Grove and Short Creek fields. The operators you will see on checks and in the county records include PGP Operating, Diversified Production, Warrior Met Coal Gas, and Keyrock Energy. Nineteen of the state's last 50 permits as of early November 2026 were Jefferson County coalbed methane wells, 10 from Warrior Met Coal Gas and 9 from Keyrock Energy, with Keyrock drilling Oak Grove wells in November 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.

County totals. Source: Enverus, as of 2026-11-02. Rigs are currently active; permits are those approved in the last 90 days; completions are wells reporting first production in the last 90 days, which lags by state. A zero does not mean nothing is happening, only that nothing was reported in that window. Activity like this is exactly what moves mineral value. If it is happening near you, find out what your interest is worth before you take anyone's offer.
