Where We Buy · California · Glenn County

Sell your Glenn County mineral rights.

Willows, Orland, Hamilton City: we buy minerals and royalties throughout Glenn County, the Willows-Beehive Bend gas field.

Glenn County is the Willows-Beehive Bend field: one big dry gas accumulation under the rice fields south of Willows, drilled over decades and still producing from about 150 wells, plus a few smaller fields out toward the foothills. The royalties are the Sacramento Basin kind, small and steady and almost never bought, and the leases are often decades old.

What produces here. CalGEM's 2023 annual report, the latest county table it has published, put Glenn County at 1,716,027 Mcf of gas and no oil for the year. CalGEM's WellSTAR records as of November 2026 show 170 active wells, 154 of them operated by California Resources Production Corporation and 151 of them in the Willows-Beehive Bend field, with The Termo Company (8), PEOCO (5) and Harvest Petroleum (3) working the Bounde Creek, Malton-Black Butte and Rancho Capay fields. No new wells show a 2024 or later spud date in the county's records.

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 California.

Questions

Straight answers for Glenn County owners

What are mineral rights worth in Glenn County?
This is dry gas country, so value turns on gas price, on the slow declines these Sacramento Basin fields run, and on your decimal in the lease, not on oil headlines, and in Glenn County that ranges from a few dollars a month to a real income, so county averages mislead. Send a statement and we will run the actual calculation with the reasoning shown, free.
My family's royalty checks stopped years ago. Where is the money?
If the operator lost track of the owner, the money is treated as abandoned after three years and sent to the State Controller's unclaimed property program, where it waits under the owner's name. Search it under every family spelling, then look at whether the field is still producing; often both the suspense money and the ongoing interest are worth recovering, and we help with both at no charge.
My parent died owning California minerals. How do they get into my name?
Through probate, or through the Probate Code 13200 affidavit if the decedent's California real property, minerals included, is worth no more than $69,625 in total, which covers a great many small royalty interests. Note that California's revocable transfer on death deed cannot be used for a severed mineral interest, so even a family that avoided probate on the house may still need the affidavit or a probate order for the minerals. We read the chain free and tell you which you need.
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.
