Mohall, Sherwood, Tolley: shallow Madison and Spearfish stripper production in one of the quietest producing counties in North Dakota, and one of the least understood.
Renville County is among the quietest producing counties in North Dakota, and that is exactly why it is worth having a straight page about it. There is no Bakken here. Production is shallow Madison Group and Spearfish at the Glenburn, Wiley, and Mouse River Park fields, peaking in 1962 and declining gently ever since. About 162 wells produce out of roughly 1,500 drilled, and monthly output is around 33,000 barrels of oil with essentially no associated gas.
Only nine or ten operators still produce here, including Murex, Cobra, Eagle Operating, Berenergy, and Empire North Dakota. There are no rigs and no permits. We will tell you that instead of implying development is coming.
Two things drive value. First, waterflood unitization means your share is often governed by a tract participation factor rather than by net mineral acres, and the unit agreement is the operative document. Second, Upper Souris National Wildlife Refuge and Lake Darling create federal surface over severed minerals, and the reservoir footprint crossing section lines is a recurring title issue in this county.
We buy small interests here with no minimum and pay all closing costs. Send a stub or a name and a township and we will tell you what you have.
