Jasper, Huntingburg, Ferdinand: we buy minerals and royalties throughout Dubois County, quiet acreage on the eastern edge of the Illinois Basin with a few old Jasper, Huntingburg, and Ireland fields.
Dubois County is furniture, turkeys, and German Catholic towns, not oil, and this page is not going to pretend otherwise. The Jasper, Huntingburg, and Ireland fields found a little Mississippian oil in the middle of the last century, some stripper wells are still pumping, and the county's minerals mostly sit unleased under farms whose owners have never had a reason to think about them, which in Indiana is a reason to think about them now.
What produces here. Very little. The old Jasper, Huntingburg, and Ireland fields produced from the Renault, Aux Vases, Ste. Genevieve, Cypress, Sample, Big Clifty, and Salem, and what remains is legacy stripper production. Indiana publishes production only statewide, not by county: the Division of Oil and Gas reported 115,486 barrels and 239,449 Mcf for July 2026 and 1,315,471 barrels and 2,887,306 Mcf for all of 2025, and Dubois contributes a sliver of it. In the state's monthly permit reports from March 2025 through July 2026, the only Dubois County permit was Menke Brothers' Melvin Menke 1, a Rosiclare wildcat permitted in September 2025 to 1,250 feet; there were no Dubois completions reported in that span. There is no coalbed methane program here and no carbon storage project. A quiet county page is honest, not padded.
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 Indiana.
Small, old Mississippian fields: Renault, Aux Vases, Ste. Genevieve, Cypress, and Sample at Jasper, Big Clifty and Sample at Huntingburg, and Aux Vases, Ste. Genevieve, and Salem at Ireland. Most of what is left is stripper production or plugged.
The one Dubois permit in the state's monthly reports from March 2025 through July 2026: Menke Brothers' Melvin Menke 1, a 1,250-foot Rosiclare wildcat permitted in September 2025.
