Where We Buy · Montana · Roosevelt County ## Sell your Roosevelt County mineral rights. Wolf Point, Poplar, Culbertson: Montana's fastest growing Bakken county, and the one where the first question is always whether the minerals are fee or trust. [Get a Free Valuation](https://www.berlinroyalties.com/free-valuation/) or call or text [918-984-1645](tel:9189841645) Roosevelt County is Montana's growth story in the Bakken and also its most complicated title county. Production runs about 565,000 barrels a month across roughly 254 producing wells, 2025 set a record at around 6.6 million barrels, and recent permitting has been the heaviest in the state after Richland. Slawson, Kraken, Black Dog, Devon, Continental, and Phoenix are all active. Before any of that matters, there is a threshold question. Most of Roosevelt County lies within the Fort Peck Indian Reservation, roughly 2.1 million acres of which about 378,000 are tribally owned and about 548,000 are individually allotted, with the remainder having passed to fee under the 1908 Fort Peck Allotment Act. Trust and allotted interests are administered through the Bureau of Indian Affairs, are heavily fractionated by heirship, and generally are not acquirable by a private buyer. Fee minerals exist in the checkerboard left by post 1908 homesteading. We make that determination first, free, and we tell you the answer even when the answer is that we cannot buy what you have. Anyone who makes you an offer on Roosevelt County minerals without establishing fee versus trust has not done the work. Montana also withholds 6 percent of your net royalty at the source as a tax prepayment, and Montana has no dormant mineral act, so nothing here lapses for nonuse. Send us what you have and we will sort out which category you are in.

Questions ## Straight answers for Roosevelt County owners Are my Roosevelt County minerals fee minerals or trust minerals? This is the first question in this county and it has to be answered before anything else. Most of Roosevelt County lies within the Fort Peck Indian Reservation. Tribal and individually allotted trust tracts are leased through the Bureau of Indian Affairs rather than recorded through the county, allotted interests are severely fractionated by heirship, and they generally cannot be bought by a private mineral buyer. Fee minerals exist in the checkerboard left by post 1908 homesteading. We will make that determination for you free and tell you plainly which one you hold. Is Roosevelt County still growing? Yes, and it is one of the few Montana counties where that is true. Roughly 254 wells produce across 184 leases, 2025 was a record year at about 6.6 million barrels, and recent permitting has been heavy: Slawson approved a dozen horizontals in January 2026, with Kraken and Black Dog also active. Devon, Continental, Phoenix, and Chord carry production as well. Why is six percent being withheld from my royalty check? Montana requires remitters to withhold 6 percent of net royalty paid to royalty owners under M.C.A. section 15-30-2538, with a de minimis exception under $166 per period or $2,000 annually. It is a prepayment of Montana income tax, not a fee. You reconcile it by filing a Montana return, and many out of state owners never do, which means they never recover overwithholding.
