Rockport, Dale, Santa Claus: we buy minerals and royalties throughout Spencer County, the Grandview North and St. Meinrad fields where Brookston Resources drills 700-foot Jackson sand wells.
Spencer County is Ohio River bottoms and the Lincoln boyhood hills, and its oil is about as shallow as oil gets: the Jackson sand at 650 to 750 feet, drilled with a small rig and a short string and produced for decades on a waterflood. The checks are modest, the operators are small and local, and the drilling pace, oddly, is one of the steadiest in Indiana, because the wells are cheap and the dry holes are shallow enough to shrug off.
What produces here. Oil from Grandview North Consolidated, St. Meinrad East, Newtonville Consolidated, Lamar South, and Fulda West, in the Pennsylvanian Jackson sand and the Mississippian Glen Dean, Tar Springs, Big Clifty, Cypress, Bethel, Aux Vases, Ste. Genevieve, Salem, and Warsaw. 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. The operator you will see on most Spencer checks is Brookston Resources, with 51 Indiana wells on the state's August 2026 operator list and more Spencer permits than anyone in 2025: six Abbey Unit renewals in St. Meinrad East in July 2025, MTW and Crooked Creek Unit wells and injection conversions in Grandview North from July through November 2025, and the Nancy Lutz and Leistner wells in Newtonville Consolidated, where the 28-31 Nancy Lutz made an oil well at 877 feet and the 21-6 Leistner at 1,031 feet while four others came up dry. Randy Ferguson took over the Foertsch and O. Ferguson wells in Lamar South in November 2025 and permitted seven more there in January 2026, and D and B Oil permitted four Collignon wells in Fulda West to the Jackson at about 660 to 700 feet in April 2026.
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.
Consolidated in 1959 along the Ohio River: Pennsylvanian Jackson sand at about 650 to 700 feet under waterflood, with Big Clifty, Cypress, Bethel, Aux Vases, Ste. Genevieve, Salem, and Warsaw wells to 2,000 feet.
The small eastern Spencer fields: Glen Dean and Tar Springs at St. Meinrad, Warsaw and Jackson at Newtonville, and Jackson sand wells under 750 feet at Lamar South and Fulda West, most of them operated by one- and two-person companies.
