Where We Buy · North Dakota · Billings County ## Sell your Billings County mineral rights. Medora, Fryburg, Gorham: the most stacked and the most federally encumbered county in western North Dakota, with Bakken, Madison, Red River, and Tyler production under the same ground. [Get a Free Valuation](https://www.berlinroyalties.com/free-valuation/) or call or text [918-984-1645](tel:9189841645) Billings County is the smallest county in North Dakota by population and one of the most complicated by title. Medora is its only incorporated city. Underneath it sit Bakken and Three Forks on the southern flank, the Madison at Fryburg, deep Red River, and the Tyler Formation along the Dickinson to Fryburg trend. Roughly 408 wells produce out of about 2,000 drilled, and county output peaked in the early 1980s at a level the shale era has not matched. The defining feature is federal encumbrance. Theodore Roosevelt National Park's South Unit is closed to leasing outright. Little Missouri National Grassland covers a large share of the rest, which means Forest Service surface over federal minerals. The Northern Pacific land grant checkerboard also runs through the county, so odd numbered sections were patented with minerals reserved and those reserved interests now sit with corporate successors rather than with local families. And the Little Missouri River bisects the county. Whether it is navigable, and therefore who owns the bed minerals, has been contested and is not settled by the statute that resolved the Missouri River question. If your tract touches the river we will tell you that plainly rather than pricing around it. Send us what you have. We will tell you whether your interest is fee, federal, inside a unit, or affected by the riverbed question, and what it is worth in each case. Formations & Plays ## What produces here ### Bakken and Three Forks The southern flank of the play, modest but active. Petro-Hunt has been the recent driller. ### Madison The Fryburg field, including the large federal Theodore Roosevelt Madison Unit. ### Red River Deep Ordovician conventional production with a long history. ### Tyler Billings sits on the Dickinson to Fryburg Tyler trend, with the Rocky Ridge, Tracy Mountain, and Medora fields.

Questions ## Straight answers for Billings County owners Why does Billings County have so many different formations? Because it sits where the southern Bakken flank overlaps a much older conventional province. You can have Bakken and Three Forks, Madison at Fryburg, Red River, and the Tyler Formation all under the same section. That is genuinely unusual and it means an interest here can carry value from more than one source. It also means a valuation based only on your current check is likely to be wrong. My minerals are near Theodore Roosevelt National Park. Can they be developed? Not inside the park itself. The National Park Service South Unit is closed to leasing, and much of the surrounding county is Little Missouri National Grassland, meaning Forest Service surface over federal minerals. This is the most federally encumbered county in western North Dakota, and federal unit and lease numbers appear constantly in the records here. Whether your specific interest is fee, federal, or inside a unit changes what it is worth and what you can sell. Who owns the minerals under the Little Missouri River in Billings County? This one is genuinely unsettled and we will say so rather than guessing. North Dakota's riverbed statute at N.D.C.C. chapter 61-33.1 settled ownership under the Missouri River and Lake Sakakawea, and it does not reach the Little Missouri. Whether the Little Missouri is navigable, and therefore whether the state or the riparian owner holds the bed minerals, has been contested. If your tract touches the river, treat that as an open title question and get a North Dakota oil and gas attorney involved before you sell.
