Coalinga has produced since 1887 and never stopped. We buy minerals and royalties there and across Fresno County's west side.
Fresno County's west side is original California oil country. Coalinga was booming before the twentieth century began, and its steamflooded heavy oil still produces every day, paying royalties to families whose ownership dates back four and five generations.
If that is your family, and you are holding a royalty check, a tax bill on a mineral assessment, or a deed you cannot quite decode, we will research it free of charge, value it off the actual wells, and make an offer with the reasoning shown, or tell you plainly that keeping it is the better move.
Enverus shows roughly 1,680 producing wells in Fresno County, with California Resources Corporation operating about 775 and Chevron about 610. These are long-life, low-decline heavy oil wells, and their duration is the part a simple income multiple misses. See our San Joaquin Basin page.
One of California's oldest giants, steamflooded heavy oil worked continuously since the 1880s.

Everything a California owner needs in one place: who owns what under state law, how royalties must be paid and by when, what a buyer can and cannot deduct, the tax treatment of a sale, and the deadlines that quietly cost people their minerals. Free, and no sign-up.
