Monroeville, Frisco City, Excel, Beatrice: we buy minerals and royalties throughout Monroe County, Smackover and Frisco City sand oil in small, old units.
Monroe County is deep Jurassic oil in small doses. The Frisco City sand units around Frisco City and Excel were drilled in the 1990s by companies that are mostly gone now, the Smackover fields came in ones and twos after 2008, and the royalties pass down through families who have never seen the unit map. A new wildcat still gets drilled here every year or two, and most of them end the way they always have, which is a thing worth knowing before you price acreage off the rumor of a rig.
What produces here. Monroe County wells reported 57,764 barrels of oil and 118 million cubic feet of gas to the Board for calendar 2025 from 18 wells, and 939 barrels and 750 Mcf for August 2026 as reported so far, all of it from Elite Petroleum Group's five Smackover wells at Jeddo, West Jeddo, Homewood, South Homewood, and East Excel. Hilcorp Energy's North Frisco City unit, Liberty Operating's Coffin 14-10 No. 1 at Goodway, and Edward Oil's Nettles 9-12 No. 1 at Southwest Excel are the other names on checks, and Hilcorp had reported no production from North Frisco City after May 2026. Pruet Production permitted the Kelly 31-11 No. 1 wildcat in Section 31, Township 6 North, Range 8 East on July 30, 2026, spudded it at the end of September, reached 12,240 feet on October 22, logged it, and had orders to plug it two days later; its Gregson 25-11 No. 1 wildcat in 2025 was also dry.
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.
