Dighton, Healy, Alamota: we buy minerals and royalties throughout Lane County, 274 active Lansing-Kansas City and Marmaton fields, more than any other county on this page.
Lane County is Dighton and more oil fields than any county on this page, 274 of them still active, most of them small Lansing-Kansas City structures found one at a time from the 1960s on. Shakespeare Oil runs more leases here than anyone, production peaked above a million barrels a year from 2008 to 2011, and the royalties are spread across hundreds of families who have never seen the pumpjack.
What produces here. Kansas Geological Survey production for 2025: 391,806 barrels of oil from 377 wells, and 188,321 barrels from 355 wells for January through June 2026; the county has never reported gas. Oil was 1,073,414 barrels in 2008 and 673,187 in 2019, so the county is on a long slide from its best years. It is Lansing-Kansas City, Marmaton, Cherokee and Pawnee oil from Jennison, Demand Northwest, Pendennis South, Prairie Ridge Northwest, Alamota Northwest and Roemer among 274 active fields. Shakespeare Oil holds 49 of the 301 leases that reported in 2025 or 2026, with Mull Drilling, Ritchie Exploration, Vess Oil, Grand Mesa Operating, Raymond Oil, Trans Pacific Oil, Blue Goose Drilling, Abercrombie Energy, Wilton Petroleum and Carmen Schmitt also on checks.
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.
Pendennis South (1962), Jennison (1973), Pendennis Southwest (1971), White Rock (1973), Terwilliger East (1975) and Dickey West (1983): small structural pools, 274 of them still active.
Found in 2005 and already near a million barrels; the Kansas Geological Survey names Lane among the counties where Mississippian limestone reservoirs have been targeted beyond the traditional play.
