Watford City, Alexander, Arnegard: we buy minerals and royalties throughout McKenzie County, in the Bakken.
McKenzie County is the most active county in the Bakken, period. If you own minerals here, you own something institutional buyers track daily, and your offers should be priced accordingly. Ours come with the underwriting shown.
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.
The most drilled county in the play, with thousands of producing wells and continuing infill development.
