[Get a Free Valuation](https://www.berlinroyalties.com/free-valuation/) or call or text [918-984-1645](tel:9189841645) Montgomery County is the center of the Cherokee Basin coalbed methane story, the one that started with Quest and Layne and is ending with the Kansas Corporation Commission plugging wells by the hundred. The gas is still there and still paying, just less of it every year, while the hundred-year-old oil leases around Coffeyville and Independence keep pumping along as if nothing happened. **What produces here.** Kansas Geological Survey production for 2025: 2,013,641 Mcf of gas from 704 wells and 76,250 barrels of oil from 988 wells, and 861,733 Mcf and 31,273 barrels for January through June 2026. Gas was 4,385,761 Mcf from 1,183 wells in 2019, so the coalbed play has lost more than half its volume in six years, while oil has edged up from 58,867 barrels in 2021. The gas is Cherokee Basin Coal Area production from the Bevier, Weir-Pittsburg, Mulky and Riverton coals; the oil is Bartlesville and Marmaton from Jefferson-Sycamore, Wayside-Havana, Coffeyville-Cherryvale, Tyro, Brewster and Neodesha. RedBud Oil & Gas Operating holds most of the active leases, with Colt Energy, Endeavor Energy Resources, Finney Oil, River Rock Operating, Cunningham Crude, G & J Oil, John Horton and Kansas Gas Co. also on checks. The Kansas Corporation Commission plugged 361 orphaned Montgomery wells through September 2024 and lists a 430-well project for the federal formula-grant round. 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?

It depends on whether you own gas or oil. Coalbed methane royalties here are declining and many wells have been plugged, so a gas check from 2015 tells us little about today; the shallow oil leases around Independence and Coffeyville are small but steadier. We value off the current lease data and show you which wells are still reporting, free. Hundreds of gas wells around me have been plugged. Is my Montgomery County interest worthless? Not necessarily. The Kansas Corporation Commission plugged 361 orphaned Montgomery County wells under the federal initial grant through September 2024 and lists a 430-well Montgomery project for the next round. Plugging ends the well, not your minerals; a lease that stops producing usually terminates, and the minerals come back to you unleased. What they are worth then depends on the oil operators still working the county, and we will tell you plainly. 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. ## Before you sign anything in Montgomery County The things owners here most often wish they had read first.
