Hanford, Avenal, Kettleman City: a small county by well count, with roughly 156 producing wells and one dominant operator.
Kings County is small enough that almost no mineral buyer looks at it, which is precisely why owners here get no offers and assume there is nothing to have. There is production, it is long-lived, and we will tell you honestly what it is worth, including when the honest answer is not much.
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 units rather than off a county average, 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.
Well, rig and permit counts are sourced from Enverus and current as of August 2026. See our San Joaquin Basin page for how the play as a whole is valued.
