Erie, Chanute, St. Paul: we buy minerals and royalties throughout Neosho County, the Cherokee Basin coalbed methane play consolidated under River Rock Operating.
Neosho County is a one-operator county. The Cherokee Basin coalbed methane wells that a dozen companies drilled in the 2000s ended up under River Rock Operating, with a field office in Chanute, and the state has been plugging the ones that did not make the cut. If your check comes from River Rock, we can read it quickly and tell you what it is worth.
What produces here. Kansas Geological Survey production for 2025: 2,814,723 Mcf of gas from 885 wells and 17,320 barrels of oil from 527 wells, and 1,306,415 Mcf and 10,865 barrels for January through June 2026. Gas was 5,142,593 Mcf from 1,092 wells in 2019. The gas is Cherokee Basin Coal Area production from the Bevier, Riverton, Mulky and Summit coals; the oil is Bartlesville and Squirrel sand from Humboldt-Chanute, Erie, Morehead, Trent, Thayer and St. Paul-Walnut. River Rock Operating holds 849 of the 924 leases that reported in 2025 or 2026, with RedBud Oil & Gas Operating, Winder Oil, MSG Resources, See Oil, NC Oil, M S Drilling, Bill Holtom and RH Capital-Beets on the rest. The Kansas Corporation Commission plugged 161 orphaned Neosho wells through September 2024 and lists an 810-well Allen, Labette and Neosho project for the 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? Start with inherited mineral rights in Kansas.
The county's main product: 2.8 million Mcf in 2025 from 885 wells, down from 5.1 million in 2019, almost all of it under River Rock Operating out of Chanute.
