Shawneetown, Ridgway, Equality: we buy minerals and royalties throughout Gallatin County, the Omaha, Inman and Roland fields at the south end of the Illinois Basin.
Gallatin County is the bottom of the basin, river-bottom farmland between the Ohio and the Wabash with the Omaha, Inman and Roland fields underneath, and it is a Campbell Energy and CountryMark county: the two companies account for five of the six wells the ISGS database shows completed here in 2025. The royalties are the usual Illinois kind, small and old and split, but the operators are the ones who are still spending money.
What produces here. The Illinois Petroleum Resources Board puts Gallatin County at 111,459 barrels for calendar 2025, down from 125,169 in 2024. The oil comes from Roland Consolidated and Herald Consolidated on the White County line, Inman West and East Consolidated, Omaha, Omaha South and West, AB Lake, Junction, Elba and Lawler, with pay in the Cypress, Aux Vases, Ste. Genevieve, Tar Springs, Waltersburg, Pennsylvanian and McClosky; the ISGS database carries about 1,030 unplugged oil producer records here. The operators you will see on checks and in the county records include Campbell Energy of Carmi, CountryMark Energy Resources, Dee Drilling of Mount Carmel, CDG Operations, Stewart Producers and Pioneer Oil. The IDNR weekly permit logs show Campbell's Omaha 22-Twin to the Palestine in July 2025 and the Omaha 22-WI injection well that September, and in 2026 Dee Drilling's Lillis Moye 2-D to the St. Louis at 3,150 feet on July 13, Campbell's Omaha 23 to the St. Louis at 3,300 feet on September 24, 2026, and injection permits for CDG Operations on the Kerwin lease and Stewart Producers on the Richeson lease in the Cypress, the pattern of a county where the floods are being maintained and the Omaha field is still being drilled.
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 Illinois.
