Jasper, Sumiton, Cordova, Carbon Hill: we buy minerals and royalties throughout Walker County, the Walker side of the White Oak Creek coalbed methane field.
Walker County is coal country first, and the gas came along behind it. The White Oak Creek coalbed methane field runs across the Tuscaloosa line into Walker, and the Walker side is a couple hundred small wells paying a couple hundred small royalties, usually to people whose grandparents sold the coal and kept, or did not keep, the gas. The deed that split those estates decides who is owed anything, and it is worth reading before anyone names a price.
What produces here. Walker County produced 81.5 million cubic feet of gas and no oil in August 2026 from 233 wells: 225 Urban Oil and Gas Group coalbed methane wells in the Walker portion of White Oak Creek, which made 79 million cubic feet, and 8 Jabsco Oil Operating wells in the conventional Eldridge field, which made the rest. White Oak Creek was drilled in waves from 1988 to 2010 by Amoco, Sonat, El Paso, and ARP before Urban took it over, and the Jasper and West Jasper Hartselle gas fields are plugged. There has been no new permit in Walker County since 2010; the coalbed methane rigs that Warrior Met Coal Gas and Keyrock Energy are running in late 2026 are in Tuscaloosa and Jefferson counties, not here, so what you own in Walker is a long, flat royalty on wells that already exist.
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.
The Black Warrior Basin field that straddles the Tuscaloosa line: about 230 Urban Oil and Gas Group wells on the Walker side, all in the Pottsville coal interval, permitted between 1988 and 2010.
Small conventional gas fields in the Hartselle and Pride Mountain sands; Eldridge still has a handful of Jabsco wells on line, Jasper and West Jasper are plugged.
