[Get a Free Valuation](https://www.berlinroyalties.com/free-valuation/) or call or text [918-984-1645](tel:9189841645) Thomas County is Colby and a pile of small Lansing-Kansas City fields that drilled up fast around 2019 and 2020, when county production jumped from 354,280 barrels in 2018 to 563,904, and have been declining ever since. Nothing is wrong with that; it is what new wells in old rock do. It just means a Thomas County royalty has to be priced off its own decline curve, not off the headline year. **What produces here.** Kansas Geological Survey production for 2025: 200,188 barrels of oil from 150 wells, and 104,936 barrels from 144 wells for January through June 2026; the county reported no gas in 2025. Oil spiked to 563,904 barrels in 2020 and has fallen every year since. It is Lansing-Kansas City, Marmaton and Cherokee oil from Towns, Ohl, U-Pac, Riverford, Campus North and Triangle among 126 active fields. Operators on checks and in the county records include Val Energy, Murfin Drilling, American Warrior, Gore Oil Company, Carmen Schmitt, Vess Oil, MAD Operators, Elevate Energy, Norstar Petroleum, DGH Oil, ELK Energy Holdings, BEREXCO and Mid-Continent Resources. The Kansas Corporation Commission lists Thomas in a 29-well District 4 orphan-well plugging 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?

Thomas County is a boom-and-settle story: 563,904 barrels in 2020, 200,188 in 2025, as the new wells of 2019 and 2020 came down their steep early decline. That makes the year your well was drilled the most important fact in its value. We read the actual curve, not the county's, and show you the work, free. 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. Can I pass my Kansas minerals to my kids without probate? Yes. Kansas allows a transfer on death deed for any interest in real estate, severed minerals included; record it in the county where the minerals sit and the interest passes outside probate. If the owner has already died without one, Kansas allows a determination of descent in district court six months after death, which is faster than a full probate. We pay for that work when we buy. What does it cost me to sell? Nothing. Berlin pays all title work, document preparation, and recording costs.
