Gove County is where western Kansas is still drilling. The Mississippian and Lansing-Kansas City fields found in 2009 around Antelope Ridge and Maurice set off a boom that peaked at 1.16 million barrels in 2011, the county has settled around 520,000 to 570,000 barrels a year since 2022, production rose in 2025, and the Independent Oil and Gas Service rig reports through the fall of 2026 keep naming Gove. For a mineral owner that means your tract might actually get a new well, and we price that chance with the permits in hand.

**What produces here.** Kansas Geological Survey production for 2025: 554,263 barrels of oil from 410 wells, up from 520,275 in 2024, and 269,697 barrels from 375 wells for January through June 2026; the county has never reported gas. The Mississippian carries the most active leases, with Lansing-Kansas City, Kansas City, Marmaton and Cherokee behind it, in Antelope Ridge, Lundgren, Gove Northwest, Maurice Northeast, Gove West and Judica among 233 active fields. Operators on checks and in the county records include Ritchie Exploration, Palomino Petroleum, Falcon Exploration, Pickrell Drilling, Mull Drilling, Grand Mesa Operating, Shakespeare Oil, Trans Pacific Oil, Vess Oil and Lario Oil & Gas. Hays Post, citing Independent Oil and Gas Service, reported two Gove County completions and a rig working in the county the week of July 27, 2026, and two more Gove County oil wells placed on pump with drilling underway on September 28, 2026.

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 Gove County owners

What are mineral rights worth in Gove County?
Gove is the active one: 554,263 barrels in 2025, up from the year before, from 410 wells, with rigs working in the county through the summer and fall of 2026. Royalties here can carry real upside from offset drilling, and we price that honestly rather than either ignoring it or promising it. Actual wells, actual permits, work shown, free.

Is there really drilling going on in Gove County right now?
Yes. Independent Oil and Gas Service, as reported by Hays Post, listed two Gove County wells completed the week of July 27, 2026 with a rig working in the county, and on September 28, 2026 reported two new Gove County oil wells placed on pump and drilling underway on a Gove County lease, at a time when the statewide rig count was up 75 percent from a year earlier. We pull the permits around your tract before we talk price.

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.

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.
