Allen County has about 2,500 producing oil wells and almost none of them make a barrel a day. That is the Cherokee Basin oil business: cheap shallow wells, small operators, and royalties that have been paying since the Moran field came in in 1903. Production here actually rose in 2024 and 2025, which is more than most of eastern Kansas can say.

**What produces here.** Kansas Geological Survey production for 2025: 246,190 barrels of oil from 2,507 wells and 146,957 Mcf of gas from 83 wells, and 128,759 barrels and 59,022 Mcf for January through June 2026. Oil has climbed from 201,482 barrels in 2021. It comes from the Bartlesville and Squirrel sands of the Cherokee Group, with Mississippian below, in the Iola, Humboldt-Chanute, Moran, Elsmore Shoestring, Bronson-Xenia, Colony-Welda Southeast and Davis-Bronson fields. Operators on checks and in the county records include McFadden Oil, N & B Enterprises, Colt Energy, Bayonet Petroleum, A & A Well Service, Ensminger Energy, E K Energy, Verde Oil and L & G Petroleum Operating. The Kansas Corporation Commission plugged 130 orphaned Allen County wells under the federal initial grant through September 2024 and lists an 810-well Allen, Labette and Neosho project for the next round.

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?

Questions

## Straight answers for Allen County owners

What are mineral rights worth in Allen County?
Allen County is dense, shallow, low-rate oil: roughly 2,500 wells sharing 246,000 barrels a year, so each well makes a few tenths of a barrel a day and each royalty check is small and slow to decline. We pay for the longevity, price off the actual lease, and show the work, free.

I inherited Kansas minerals that nobody has touched in decades. Do I still own them?
Probably, but check before you assume. Kansas has a 20-year dormant mineral act, K.S.A. 55-1601, under which a severed mineral interest that has gone unused for 20 years can lapse back to the surface owner unless the owner records a statement of claim. Filing that statement is cheap and cures the problem. We check the dormancy question on every Kansas valuation we do, free.

Do I owe property tax on Kansas minerals I do not even get paid on?
In some Kansas counties, yes. Severed mineral interests can be assessed for property tax by the county appraiser, and unpaid taxes on a forgotten interest can put it at risk. Check with the county treasurer under the name on the deed. We look for delinquent mineral tax on every Kansas tract we research, free.

What does it cost me to sell?
Nothing. Berlin pays all title work, document preparation, and recording costs. The offer you accept is the amount you receive.
