Franklin County is Arkoma gas country split by the Arkansas River, with its land records split the same way between Ozark and Charleston. The wells are conventional Atoka gas, most of them decades old, and the royalties have outlived the people who signed the leases, which is why so many of the interests we see here are fractions of fractions held by cousins in three states.

**What produces here.** Arkansas Oil and Gas Commission production data show Franklin County at 715,543 Mcf of gas and no oil for June 2026, with monthly volumes between 680,000 and 750,000 Mcf through August 2026. Merit Energy was the largest reporter for the month at about 188,000 Mcf and MMGK Arkoma next at about 58,000 Mcf, with Hanna Oil and Gas, Riverfront Exploration, Oxley Energy, Rusk County Well Service, Weiser-Brown Operating, Stone Oak Operating and Lyons and Lyons also on the reports. 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?

Formations & Plays

## What produces here

### Arkoma Basin Atoka gas

Conventional Pennsylvanian gas sands produced by Merit Energy, MMGK Arkoma, Hanna Oil and Gas, Riverfront Exploration and Oxley Energy, with a long tail of small operators.

### Two county seats, two record rooms

Franklin County keeps separate land records at Ozark for the northern district and Charleston for the southern, and a mineral deed recorded in the wrong one is a title problem waiting to be found.

Questions

## Straight answers for Franklin County owners

What are mineral rights worth in Franklin County?
This is dry gas country, so value turns on gas price, on the slow decline the wells run, and on your decimal in the unit, not on oil headlines, and in Franklin County that ranges from a few dollars a month to a real income, so county averages mislead. We value off the actual wells and activity and show the work, free.

I got an integration notice from the Arkansas Oil and Gas Commission. What now?
Arkansas integrates unleased and unsigned owners into a drilling unit by Commission order, and the order itself sets the election window: you choose to participate, lease on the terms in the order, or take the nonconsent royalty, and if you miss the window the order decides for you. The dates are inside the order, not on the envelope. Text us a photo of it the day it arrives and we will read it with you, free.

Do I owe property tax on Arkansas minerals?
Producing minerals are assessed ad valorem each January 1 by the county assessor, based on the prior year's production, and the bill goes to whoever the assessor has on the roll. If the family moved and the bill went to an old address, the interest can go to tax sale through the Commissioner of State Lands. Check the assessor's roll in the county where the minerals sit, not where you live, and if you find a delinquency call us before it goes to sale.

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.
