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?

Questions

## Straight answers for Ellsworth County owners

What are mineral rights worth in Ellsworth County?
Ellsworth County is classic Central Kansas Uplift: Arbuckle and Lansing-Kansas City wells that decline a few percent a year and have been paying since the 1930s. That longevity earns a higher multiple of the monthly check than a shale buyer will quote, and the difference between a Stoltenberg Arbuckle lease and a one-well Lansing pool is large. We price your actual lease, free.

Can an operator force-pool my Kansas minerals?
No. Kansas has no compulsory pooling statute. Operators here combine tracts by voluntary lease pooling clauses or by unitization, so if you are unleased, nobody can drill through your minerals and send you a pooling order the way Oklahoma does. That gives an unleased Kansas owner real leverage, and it is one of the first things we read in your lease.

My Kansas royalty checks arrive late. Does the operator owe me interest?
Yes. Under K.S.A. 55-1614, proceeds not paid on time accrue interest at the New York Federal Reserve discount rate plus 1.5 points, unless there is a genuine title dispute. If you are inheriting a stack of stale checks, send them along; we read the pay history as part of any valuation, 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.
