Wichita, Derby, Valley Center: we buy minerals and royalties throughout Sedgwick County, legacy Mississippian and Viola oil under the city and its farmland.
Sedgwick County is Wichita, the capital of the Kansas oil business, and the fields underneath it, Valley Center, Greenwich, Goodrich, Robbins, are the ones that paid for the office buildings. About a hundred wells still pump here, and most of the mineral owners we hear from have a fraction of a 1929 lease and no idea whether it is still producing. We can tell them in a day.
What produces here. Kansas Geological Survey production for 2025: 80,028 barrels of oil from 107 wells, and 39,004 barrels from 98 wells for January through June 2026, with no gas reported. Oil was 111,958 barrels in 2019. The oil is Mississippian, Viola, Simpson, Kansas City and Hunton from Valley Center, Greenwich, Goodrich, Gladys, Schulte South, Brumley and O.S.A., and Burgess sand at Dubois. Operators on checks and in the county records include Bear Petroleum, Lachenmayr Oil, Oil Producers Inc. of Kansas, Brickley Enterprises, Hess Oil Company, Vess Oil, MWK Petroleum, Grand Mesa Operating, Peak Operating and Buffalo 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.
