Where We Buy · Kansas · McPherson County

Sell your McPherson County mineral rights.

McPherson, Lindsborg, Moundridge: we buy minerals and royalties throughout McPherson County, the Ritz-Canton and Voshell fields and 214 million barrels of legacy oil.

McPherson County has produced more than 214 million barrels of oil, which puts it in the top tier of Kansas counties, and almost nobody outside the business knows it. Ritz-Canton and Voshell came in the same year, 1929, and the Mississippian leases there are still the backbone of the county's royalty checks a century later.

What produces here. Kansas Geological Survey production for 2025: 270,073 barrels of oil from 495 wells and 2,197 Mcf of gas from 3 wells, and 131,621 barrels from 469 wells for January through June 2026 with no gas. Oil was 315,974 barrels in 2019. The Mississippian carries most of the active leases, with Simpson, Viola, Lansing-Kansas City and Maquoketa behind it, in Ritz-Canton, Voshell, Paden, Lindsborg, Georob, McPherson, Chindberg and Johnson. Operators on checks and in the county records include Hess Oil Company, the Koehn family, K-Bar Oil, Rierson Energy, White Hawk Oil Company, V & R Oil, ECCO, Te-Pe Oil & Gas, Little Chief Energy and Tracy Schmidt.

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.

Questions

Straight answers for McPherson County owners

What are mineral rights worth in McPherson County?
McPherson royalties are long-lived legacy oil, about 500 wells and 270,000 barrels a year with a cumulative past 214 million, and the Mississippian leases at Ritz-Canton decline very slowly. That earns a higher multiple of the monthly check than a shale buyer will offer. We price the actual lease and show the work, 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.
Can I pass my Kansas minerals to my kids without probate?
Yes. Kansas allows a transfer on death deed for any interest in real estate, severed minerals included; record it in the county where the minerals sit and the interest passes outside probate. If the owner has already died without one, Kansas allows a determination of descent in district court six months after death, which is faster than a full probate. We pay for that work when we buy.
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.
