Garnett, Colony, Kincaid: we buy minerals and royalties throughout Anderson County, shallow Squirrel and Bartlesville oil in the shoestring sands south of Kansas City.
Anderson County is the shoestring sand country, the narrow buried river channels around Bush City and Garnett that geologists have been drawing cross sections of since the 1920s. The wells are shallow and the checks are small, but oil here has gone up four years running, which is the kind of quiet fact we pay attention to.
What produces here. Kansas Geological Survey production for 2025: 151,005 barrels of oil from 1,652 wells, and 84,424 barrels from 1,587 wells for January through June 2026, with no gas reported. Oil has risen every year since 2021, when it was 112,377 barrels. It comes from the Squirrel, Bartlesville, Weiser and Cherokee sands and the Mississippian in Bush City Shoestring, Colony-Welda, Garnett Shoestring, Kincaid, Centerville, Colony West and Selma. Operators on checks and in the county records include RJ Energy, McFadden Oil, JRC Oil, Colt Energy, Veenker Resources, King Oil, Kittle Oil, SAG Oil and B & B Oil Recovery. The Kansas Corporation Commission plugged 22 orphaned Anderson wells under the federal initial grant through September 2024 and lists a 23-well Anderson and Franklin 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? Start with inherited mineral rights in Kansas.
