Where We Buy · Montana · Petroleum County

Sell your Petroleum County mineral rights.

Winnett: we buy minerals and royalties throughout Petroleum County.

Petroleum County is named for Cat Creek, the 1920 discovery that set off Montana's first oil boom and briefly made Winnett a boomtown. A century later the county is the least populated in the state and the field is a whisper of its former self, but legacy interests and their heirs are still out there.

If your family's name traces to Cat Creek country, the title research is half the fun and we do it free.

Questions

Straight answers for Petroleum County owners

Are minerals in Petroleum County worth anything?
Usually very little for oil and gas, and we will say so plainly. The exceptions are worth checking, and checking is free: send what you have and we will look at the actual county records rather than guess.
I live in Petroleum County but my family's minerals are somewhere else. Can you help?
Yes, and that is the most common call we get from this part of the state. Families here regularly inherit minerals in other Montana counties or out of state, or in another state entirely. Send whatever paperwork you have, even just a county and a family name, and we will locate the interest and value it with the work shown, 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.
