Ward County is Minot, which makes it less an oil county than the county where the oilfield's owners live. There is real legacy Madison production in the northwest toward Kenmare, and the Bakken's commercial edge brushes the western line, but the biggest concentration of mineral wealth in Ward County sits in filing cabinets in Minot: interests in McKenzie, Mountrail, and Williams counties held by the families who settled here.

We buy both, the legacy Ward County interests and the western ones in the drawer, and we value each off its actual wells with the reasoning shown.

Formations & Plays

## What produces here

### Madison legacy

Shallow conventional oil in the northwest of the county toward Kenmare, produced since the mid century booms.

### Bakken fringe

The commercial play fades out at the county's western edge.

Questions

## Straight answers for Ward County owners

What are mineral rights worth in Ward County?
Legacy Madison interests near Kenmare are long-lived, modest, steady payers and we price them as such. Tracts elsewhere in the county are mostly quiet. Either way we will show you the actual wells and the math, free.

I live in Ward County but my family's minerals are in western North Dakota. Can you help?
Yes, and that is the most common call we get from this part of the state. Plenty of families here inherited Bakken or legacy oilfield minerals a few counties west. Send whatever paperwork you have, even just a county and a family name, and we will locate the interest, check the 20 year abandonment clock, and value it with the work shown, free.

What does it cost me to sell?
Nothing. Berlin pays all title work, document preparation, and recording costs. The offer you accept is the amount you receive.
