Hobbs, Lovington, Jal, Eunice: we buy minerals and royalties throughout Lea County, in the Delaware Basin (Permian).
Lea County produces more oil than most countries, and its minerals price accordingly when buyers are honest. State-land checkerboarding complicates unit math, and we untangle it before we quote.
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.

New wells turned to sales in the county.
County totals. Source: Enverus, as of 2026-11-02. Rigs are currently active; permits are those approved in the last 90 days; completions are wells reporting first production in the last 90 days, which lags by state. A zero does not mean nothing is happening, only that nothing was reported in that window. Activity like this is exactly what moves mineral value. If it is happening near you, find out what your interest is worth before you take anyone's offer.
