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?

Questions

## Straight answers for Monroe County owners

What are mineral rights worth in Monroe County?
It depends on the wells and units actually touching your tract, their decline, and your decimal, and in Monroe County that ranges from a unit that has paid since the 1980s to acreage where the only well was a dry hole last month, so county averages mislead. We value off the actual wells and activity and show the work, free.

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.

My Monroe County royalty check is months late. Does Alabama owe me interest?
Yes. Under Ala. Code 9-17-33, proceeds that are not paid on time carry interest at 12 percent a year. Operators rarely add it on their own, so we check the pay history on every interest we value and tell you if money is sitting in suspense under an old name.

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.
