Why Custer County Minerals Are Valuable

Custer County sits in the heart of the Western Anadarko Basin—one of Oklahoma's most prolific oil and gas regions. The county consistently ranks among Oklahoma's top producers:

• #11 in Oklahoma for total oil and gas production

• #8 in Oklahoma for natural gas production

• Over 900 active wells producing oil and gas

• 97 operators currently working in the county

• Renewed investment as the Western Anadarko experiences a drilling resurgence

If you own minerals in Custer County, there's a good chance they have real value—whether from current production or future development potential.

Active Formations in Custer County

Custer County produces from multiple geological formations, giving operators flexibility and mineral owners ongoing value:

Cherokee Group

The Cherokee Group is one of the hottest targets in the Western Anadarko Basin right now. It includes:

• Cherokee Shale – An emerging unconventional play attracting significant investment. Operators are applying modern horizontal drilling techniques to unlock reserves that were previously uneconomical.

• Red Fork Sand – A proven conventional reservoir within the Cherokee Group. The Red Fork Sandstone produces from depths between 10,000 and 11,000 feet in Custer County and has been a prolific gas producer for decades. Recent horizontal drilling has renewed interest in this formation.

• Skinner Sand – Another productive interval within the Cherokee Group being developed alongside the Cherokee Shale and Red Fork.

Woodford Shale

The Woodford Shale—famous for driving the SCOOP play in southern Oklahoma—also extends into the Western Anadarko. Operators have tested Woodford targets in and around Custer County with promising results.

Other Formations

Custer County wells also produce from the Morrow, Cleveland, Tonkawa, and other formations within the Anadarko Basin, providing multiple development targets across the county.

Major Operators in Custer County

When well-capitalized operators are active in an area, it's a positive sign for mineral owners. Here are some of the companies drilling and producing in Custer County:

Mewbourne Oil Company

Mewbourne is one of the most active private drillers in the Western Anadarko Basin. The company has significantly ramped up activity in recent years, running 7-9 drilling rigs across western Oklahoma counties including Custer. Mewbourne's focus on the Cherokee and Cleveland formations—combined with improved well performance—signals strong ongoing interest in the area.

Devon Energy Production Company

Devon Energy, headquartered in Oklahoma City, maintains operations throughout the Anadarko Basin. The company employs advanced drilling and completion techniques to optimize well performance. Devon continues to evaluate Cherokee targets in the Western Anadarko, with proposals pending for additional wells in the region.

Continental Resources

Continental Resources has drilled some of Custer County's most productive wells. Their Ko Kipp wells near Thomas produced nearly 45,000 Mcf of natural gas per day combined—demonstrating the county's significant potential. Continental's continued investment reflects confidence in the Western Anadarko's future.

Nadel and Gussman

A Tulsa-based company with four generations of oil and gas experience, Nadel and Gussman operates throughout Oklahoma and Kansas. Their long history in the Mid-Continent gives them deep knowledge of the region's geology and production potential.

Validus Energy

Validus Energy has become one of the largest private players in the Mid-Continent after pivoting to the Anadarko Basin. The company has made multiple acquisitions in Oklahoma and continues to expand its footprint in western Oklahoma counties.

Anthem Energy

Why Custer County Mineral Owners Choose to Sell

Every mineral owner's situation is different. Here's why many Custer County owners decide to sell:

Inherited Minerals

Many mineral owners in Custer County inherited their interest from parents or grandparents. If you don't live in Oklahoma, managing minerals from a distance can be frustrating—tracking royalty statements, responding to pooling orders, filing state tax returns. Selling converts a complicated asset into simple cash.

Pooling Order Confusion

Received paperwork from the Oklahoma Corporation Commission? You're not alone. Pooling orders can be intimidating, and many owners would rather sell than figure out elections, deadlines, and decimal interests.

Declining Royalties

If your royalty checks have been shrinking due to well decline or commodity prices, selling locks in the remaining value of your minerals before they decline further.

Fractional Interests

Custer County minerals have been divided among heirs for generations. If you own a small fractional interest that generates modest royalties, the hassle of management may not be worth it. Selling provides a clean exit.

Estate Simplification

Planning your estate? Selling minerals now means your heirs won't have to deal with probate, title transfers, and ongoing management.

Cash Needs

Whether it's paying off debt, funding education, investing elsewhere, or simply enjoying life—many owners prefer a lump sum of cash over small monthly royalty checks.

What Are Custer County Minerals Worth?

Mineral values in Custer County vary based on:

• Production status – Producing minerals are worth more than non-producing

• Location – Proximity to active drilling and proven wells matters

• Formation – Cherokee, Red Fork, and Woodford targets command premium prices

• Lease status – Leased minerals with pending wells may be more valuable

• Operator quality – Wells operated by Mewbourne, Continental, or Devon typically perform better

• Royalty rate – Higher royalty percentages mean more income and higher values

Producing minerals in Custer County typically sell for 3x to 6x annual royalty income, depending on well age, decline rate, and operator quality.

Non-producing minerals in active areas may sell for 2x to 4x the current lease bonus rate, or $1,000-$4,000+ per net mineral acre in high-interest zones.

The only way to know what your specific minerals are worth is to get an offer from a real buyer. Berlin Royalties provides free valuations with no obligation to sell.
