Ellsworth, Wilson, Kanopolis: we buy minerals and royalties throughout Ellsworth County, Kraft-Prusa, Geneseo-Edwards and the Central Kansas Uplift's Arbuckle.
Ellsworth County sits on the Central Kansas Uplift with Kraft-Prusa, Geneseo-Edwards, Bloomer and Stoltenberg under it, which is as good a set of names as any county in the state can offer. The Arbuckle wells here were drilled in the 1930s and a remarkable number of them are still pumping, which is why we pay real multiples for boring royalties in this county.
What produces here. Kansas Geological Survey production for 2025: 195,011 barrels of oil from 306 wells and 45,438 Mcf of gas from 12 wells, and 92,715 barrels and 2,215 Mcf for January through June 2026. Oil was 235,848 barrels in 2019, and the county's cumulative passed 137.8 million barrels this year. The Arbuckle carries two-thirds of the active leases, with Lansing-Kansas City, Topeka and Simpson behind it, in Stoltenberg, Bloomer, Wilson Creek, Geneseo-Edwards, Lorraine, Green Garden and Ellsworth. Operators on checks and in the county records include LB Exploration, RJM Company, American Warrior, Trans Pacific Oil, Murfin Drilling, Pauley Oil, Darrah Oil, Mar-Lou Oil, Grady Bolding, Rama Operating and Mike Kelso Oil.
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.
Kraft-Prusa (1937, 142 million barrels across its full extent), Geneseo-Edwards (1934, 91 million), Bloomer (1936, 57 million) and Stoltenberg (1931, 56 million): four of the great Kansas fields, and the Arbuckle still carries most active leases.
