Where We Buy · North Dakota · Bottineau County ## Sell your Bottineau County mineral rights. Bottineau, Westhope, Newburg: Madison and Spearfish waterflood country with no Bakken at all, where unit participation factors matter more than net mineral acres. [Get a Free Valuation](https://www.berlinroyalties.com/free-valuation/) or call or text [918-984-1645](tel:9189841645) Bottineau County is not the Bakken and should never be valued as if it were. This is Madison Group and Spearfish country along the Manitoba border, waterflooded, shallow, and producing since the early 1960s when the county peaked. Roughly 396 wells still produce out of about 2,500 drilled, and the very low gas to oil ratio you see on the statements is diagnostic of these reservoirs. The thing that actually decides value here is unitization. Large secondary recovery units, principally the Newburg Spearfish Charles Unit, mean revenue flows through a tract participation factor written into the unit agreement rather than through your raw net mineral acres. If a buyer quotes you a number based on acreage without reading the unit agreement, they have not valued your interest. We read it, and we show you how it works out. J. Clark Salyer National Wildlife Refuge and Souris River floodplain easements add federal surface across parts of the county. The Turtle Mountain Reservation is in neighboring Rolette County rather than in Bottineau. Send us a check stub or a division order and we will tell you which unit you are in, what your participation factor is doing, and what the interest is worth.

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.

Questions ## Straight answers for Bottineau County owners Why is my Bottineau County royalty based on a unit rather than my acreage? Because most of the production here comes from large secondary recovery units, principally the Newburg Spearfish Charles Unit. Inside a unit, revenue flows through a tract participation factor set by the unit agreement rather than by your raw net mineral acres. This is the single most important thing to understand about Bottineau County minerals. A valuation built on net mineral acres alone will misprice your interest, sometimes badly, in either direction. Is there any Bakken under Bottineau County? No. Bottineau is north and east of the Bakken fairway entirely. Production here is Madison Group and Spearfish, at shallow depths, with an unusually low gas to oil ratio that is characteristic of those reservoirs. County output peaked in the early 1960s. Do not let anyone value your interest on Bakken analogies. Is Bottineau County still producing? Yes, steadily, at a low level. About 396 wells produce out of roughly 2,500 drilled, and monthly output runs around 100,000 barrels of oil against very little gas. Murex, Cobra, Scout Energy, Eagle Operating, White Rock, Zargon, and roughly a dozen other operators are active. Value here is a long, flat, predictable annuity rather than development upside.
