Terre Haute, West Terre Haute, Seelyville: we buy minerals and royalties throughout Vigo County, where the activity is coalbed methane in the Seelyville coal and the Wabash carbon storage wells, not oil.
Vigo County is Terre Haute, and Terre Haute is where Indiana's oil business may have started, with a well in the middle of town in 1889. It did not stay. What Vigo has for a mineral owner today is coal, the gas in the coal, and the Wabash carbon storage wells, and the question we spend the most time on here is not what a well makes but whether the severed interest a family inherited from the mining days still legally exists.
What produces here. Almost no oil. The activity is coalbed methane from the Seelyville III coal, where Keyrock Energy converted the Ray-Carlson 1-10 to a coalbed methane well in the Sandford pool at about 510 feet in March 2026, the only Vigo County permit in the state's monthly reports from March 2025 through July 2026, and carbon storage, where the EPA approved Wabash Carbon Services' two Class VI injection permits in Vigo and Vermillion counties in 2024. 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 Vigo's share of the oil is negligible. Keyrock Energy had 8 Indiana wells on the state's August 2026 active operator list.
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.
Shallow gas from the Seelyville III coal at about 500 feet in the Sandford pool west of Terre Haute, where Keyrock Energy converted the Ray-Carlson 1-10 to a coalbed methane well in March 2026.
The EPA approved Wabash Carbon Services' two Class VI injection permits in Vigo and Vermillion counties in 2024. Storage is a pore space question, not a mineral one, but if your minerals sit under the footprint you will be mapped.
Indiana's first commercial oil may have come from a well in the center of Terre Haute in 1889, and wells drilled in Vigo in the 1860s found gas and oil that nobody developed. What is left is scattered shallow stripper production.
