Osborne, Downs, Natoma: we buy minerals and royalties throughout Osborne County, Lansing-Kansas City and Toronto oil on the north end of the Central Kansas Uplift.
Osborne County is the north end of the Central Kansas Uplift, where the oil fields are smaller and younger than the famous ones in Russell and Ellsworth and the operators are the same family companies. About 120 wells pump Lansing-Kansas City oil around Natoma and Downs, and the royalties are the quiet kind we like.
What produces here. Kansas Geological Survey production for 2025: 90,285 barrels of oil from 121 wells, and 44,181 barrels from 123 wells for January through June 2026; the county has never reported gas. Oil was 116,328 barrels in 2019. It comes from the Lansing-Kansas City, Toronto, Pennsylvanian conglomerate and Arbuckle in Ruggels, Sigle Northwest, Sigle North, Kill Creek, Round Mound, Henry, Kill Creek Northwest and Natoma East. Operators on checks and in the county records include Bruce Oil Company, Brungardt Oil and Leasing, BEREXCO, Shields Oil Producers, Russell Oil, Murfin Drilling, Scheck Oil Operation, Beren Corporation and Legacy Energy. The Kansas Corporation Commission plugged 3 orphaned Osborne wells under the federal initial grant through September 2024.
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.
Ruggels (1952), Natoma East (1978), Round Mound North (1981), Sigle North (1994) and Kill Creek (1973): small Pennsylvanian fields, none over 2.3 million barrels, on the uplift's north flank.
The deeper pay at Ruggels and Hobrock; Osborne County has never reported gas production.
