Clarksville, Lamar, Coal Hill: we buy minerals and royalties throughout Johnson County, Arkoma Basin conventional gas.
Johnson County is Arkoma Basin gas, the conventional kind: Atoka sands drilled across the river valley around Clarksville and Lamar over decades by a rotating cast of operators, now mostly held by Merit Energy and a few private companies out of Fort Smith and Oklahoma. The wells are old, the royalties are modest, and the title under Coal Hill is as tangled as the name suggests.
What produces here. Arkansas Oil and Gas Commission production data show Johnson County at 194,287 Mcf of gas and no oil for June 2026, down from about 230,000 Mcf a month earlier in the year. Merit Energy was the largest reporter for the month at about 65,000 Mcf, with Oxley Energy, Riverfront Exploration, MMGK Arkoma, Hanna Oil and Gas and Weiser-Brown Operating making up most of the rest. There has been no new drilling of note in the county in 2025 or 2026; what you own here is legacy conventional gas.
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.

Coal Hill and the ground around it were coal country first, and the old coal deeds decide whether the gas went with the coal, stayed with the surface, or was split a third way.
