Fredonia, Neodesha, Altoona: we buy minerals and royalties throughout Wilson County, Cherokee Basin coal gas and the Humboldt-Chanute and Neodesha oil fields.
Wilson County has produced oil since the 1890s, the Fredonia field dates to 1890 on the KGS record, and it was one of the last to ride the coalbed methane boom. Today the gas is split between two consolidators and the oil belongs to a long tail of small operators, and both kinds of royalty are worth buying if you price them for what they are.
What produces here. Kansas Geological Survey production for 2025: 2,149,194 Mcf of gas from 970 wells and 85,009 barrels of oil from 962 wells, and 946,460 Mcf and 41,694 barrels for January through June 2026. Gas was 4,600,647 Mcf from 1,420 wells in 2019. The gas comes from the Cherokee Basin Coal Area, Bevier and Riverton coals; the oil is Bartlesville and Squirrel sand from Humboldt-Chanute, Neodesha, Altoona, Fredonia, Buffalo-Vilas and Clinesmith. River Rock Operating and RedBud Oil & Gas Operating hold the great majority of active leases, with Cherokee Wells, SEK Energy, J-V Oil, Bluejacket Operating, Daylight Petroleum and G & N Well Service also on checks. The Kansas Corporation Commission plugged 268 orphaned Wilson wells through September 2024 and has 202 more on its formula-grant list.
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.
Bevier and Riverton coal gas across the county, down from 4.6 million Mcf in 2019 to 2.1 million Mcf in 2025 as operators consolidated and the state plugged wells.
Humboldt-Chanute (1939), Neodesha, Altoona (1903), Buffalo-Vilas (1905), Fredonia (1890) and Clinesmith: shallow oil that still pays 85,000 barrels a year.
