Sell your Fallon County mineral rights.

Fallon County sits on the Cedar Creek Anticline, one of the longest lived structural trends in the Rocky Mountains, producing from Ordovician Red River, Silurian Interlake, and Mississippian Madison. Layered over it is shallow biogenic Eagle Sandstone gas at Baker and Baker North, historically used as a gas storage field. Roughly 916 wells produce across 224 leases, and the county is gas weighted by volume today, with oil down from about 7.9 million barrels in 2006 to roughly 2.4 million in 2024.

Two things make this county genuinely different from anywhere else we buy.

First, unitization. Unit 8-A, Unit 8-B, and Baker North Eagle mean participation factors govern revenue rather than net mineral acres. The unit agreement is the operative document and we read it before quoting anything.

Second, pore space. The anticline has been the subject of carbon dioxide enhanced oil recovery and, more recently, a proposed carbon storage project that was ultimately abandoned. Pore space and sequestration rights are live here in a way they are not in most producing counties. We think a Fallon County mineral deed should address them explicitly rather than leaving the question open, and we would tell you to raise that with a Montana attorney before signing anything, including anything from us.

This is a maintenance and enhanced recovery asset rather than a drilling county. There are no new drilling permits. Value sits in a long, shallow, unit governed decline. Send us your division order and we will show you exactly how your participation factor works.
