Where We Buy · Kansas · Saline County

Sell your Saline County mineral rights.

Salina, Gypsum, Assaria: we buy minerals and royalties throughout Saline County, small Maquoketa and Viola stripper fields on the quiet eastern edge of central Kansas oil country.

Saline County is Salina and wheat, with a few dozen small oil leases around Lindsborg, Smolan and Gypsum that have been pumping Viola and Maquoketa oil since before the war. Nobody has drilled a boom here, nobody will, and the royalties are the kind that get forgotten in an estate until somebody finds the check stubs.

What produces here. Kansas Geological Survey production for 2025: 47,389 barrels of oil from 97 wells, and 22,553 barrels from 85 wells for January through June 2026; Saline County has never reported gas production. The oil is Maquoketa, Viola, Simpson and Mississippian from Lindsborg, Olsson, Gypsum Creek, Hunter, Hunter North, Salina, Smolan and Pihl. Operators on checks and in the county records include Casebeer Inc, Don Sims Oil, Scott's Production, K & N Petroleum, Rierson Energy, Buckeye West, Oil Partners, Daystar Petroleum and Voigt Oil & Gas.

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 Saline County owners

What are mineral rights worth in Saline County?
Saline County royalties are small: fewer than a hundred wells sharing under 50,000 barrels a year, with no gas and no new drilling to speak of. The honest value is a multiple of a slow-declining stripper check, and we will tell you if that number is modest rather than dress it up. Free, with the work shown.
Do I owe property tax on Kansas minerals I do not even get paid on?
In some Kansas counties, yes. Severed mineral interests can be assessed for property tax by the county appraiser, and unpaid taxes on a forgotten interest can put it at risk. Check with the county treasurer under the name on the deed. We look for delinquent mineral tax on every Kansas tract we research, free.
I inherited Kansas minerals that nobody has touched in decades. Do I still own them?
Probably, but check before you assume. Kansas has a 20-year dormant mineral act, K.S.A. 55-1601, under which a severed mineral interest that has gone unused for 20 years can lapse back to the surface owner unless the owner records a statement of claim. Filing that statement is cheap and cures the problem. We check the dormancy question on every Kansas valuation we do, free.
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.
