Where We Buy · Arkansas · Pope County

Sell your Pope County mineral rights.

Russellville, Atkins, Dover: we buy minerals and royalties throughout Pope County, Arkoma Basin gas and the western edge of the Fayetteville Shale.

Pope County is where two Arkansas gas stories overlap. The Arkoma Basin's old conventional gas fields have paid royalties around Russellville and Atkins since long before anyone said the word shale, and the Fayetteville Shale's western units came in on top of them after 2008. Owners here often have both kinds of checks, from different operators, under different leases, and have never had anyone explain the difference.

What produces here. Arkansas Oil and Gas Commission production data show Pope County at 166,660 Mcf of gas and no oil for June 2026, with monthly volumes between 140,000 and 168,000 Mcf through August 2026. Flywheel Energy Production's Fayetteville Shale units are the largest single reporter at about 56,000 Mcf for the month, followed by Merit Energy at about 35,000 Mcf and Hanna Oil and Gas at about 17,000 Mcf from conventional Arkoma wells. The other operators you will see on checks and in the county records include Riverfront Exploration, Rock Creek Energy, Oxley Energy, Weiser-Brown Operating, Lyons and Lyons, Ross Explorations and High Plains Petroleum.

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.

Questions

Straight answers for Pope County owners

What are mineral rights worth in Pope 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 Pope 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.
How fast does an Arkansas operator have to pay me, and what if they are late?
Arkansas requires proceeds to be paid on the schedule in Ark. Code 15-74-601, and proceeds not paid on time carry interest at 12 percent a year unless the delay is for a title problem or a missing signature on your end. Most late-payment problems we see are suspense problems: a death, a divided interest or an unsigned division order. Send us the last check stub and the letter and we will tell you which it is, free.
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.
