Where We Buy · Arkansas · Bradley County

Sell your Bradley County mineral rights.

Warren, Hermitage, Banks: we buy minerals and royalties throughout Bradley County, the eastern edge of the south Arkansas oil fields.

Bradley County is the quiet eastern edge of the south Arkansas oil patch. The Smackover boom that built El Dorado and Magnolia reached Warren only as a few small fields, and what is left is stripper oil from a handful of units and a great deal of timber-company ground whose minerals were severed generations ago. The lithium excitement in the Smackover brine is happening in Columbia, Lafayette and Union counties, not here, and we will not pretend otherwise.

What produces here. Arkansas Oil and Gas Commission production data show Bradley County at 893 barrels of oil and no gas for June 2026, down from 1,000 to 1,700 barrels a month earlier in the year and only a few hundred barrels by late summer as reports came in. The operators you will see on checks and in the county records include Drake Operating, Cornerstone Energy, Harvest Oil, SMI Operating and R/T Production, working leases such as the Charivari Creek Nacatoch Unit, Moro Bay, the Ferguson and Taylor leases and the old Potlatch tracts. There has been no new drilling of note in the county in 2025 or 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 Arkansas.

What produces here

South Arkansas stripper oil

A few small units on the eastern fringe of the Smackover and Nacatoch oil country, including the Charivari Creek Nacatoch Unit and the Moro Bay area, run by Drake Operating, Cornerstone Energy, Harvest Oil and SMI Operating.

Timber company minerals

Much of Bradley County is pine plantation whose minerals were severed by timber companies decades ago; whether a family kept the minerals when the land was sold is usually the whole question.

Questions

Straight answers for Bradley County owners

What are mineral rights worth in Bradley County?
Bradley County production is a few hundred barrels a month from a handful of units, so value here is about whether your tract is inside one of them and, if not, whether the Smackover trend to the west ever reaches it. County averages are meaningless at this scale. We will tell you plainly what it is worth today and whether holding beats selling, free.
My parent died owning Arkansas minerals. Do we have to open probate?
Not always. Arkansas allows a small estate affidavit for estates up to $100,000, and unlike most states it covers real property, including minerals, with a notice published in the county; a beneficiary deed, if one was recorded while the owner was alive, passes the minerals outside probate entirely. Larger estates or ones with a will contest go through probate. We read the chain free and tell you which path your family actually needs.
Can we lose Arkansas minerals just by not using them?
No. Arkansas has no dormant mineral act, so a severed mineral interest does not revert to the surface owner for inactivity the way it can in some states. What you can lose is the money: unclaimed royalty proceeds go to the Auditor of State after three years, reported pay-to-current with the well name and section, so an owner who searches the Auditor's unclaimed property list under every family spelling often finds suspense money with the well named right in the record.
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.
