Gallipolis, Rio Grande, Cheshire, Crown City, Vinton: we buy minerals and royalties throughout Gallia County, quiet shallow gas acreage on the Ohio River.
Gallia County is Ohio River bottomland and hills, a few hundred shallow gas wells, and one operator, Huffman-Bowers, that runs most of them. It is quiet country for a mineral owner, and the main thing we do here is tell people whether the fraction they inherited still has a producing well under it, which more often than not it does, barely.
What produces here. ODNR's 2025 annual production report shows 9,810 barrels of oil and 54,822 Mcf of gas from Gallia County, with 466 wells reporting and 354 producing, none of them horizontal. Huffman-Bowers had 215 producing wells and made 5,753 barrels and 28,257 Mcf, more than half the county; Wyant Exploration had 41 producing wells and J T Plus Well Service 40; and Old South Oil, Ronald Smith doing business as Chipco, MGA Energy and Mid State are the other names on checks. ODNR's 2026 quarterly horizontal report lists no Gallia County wells.
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. Inherited it? Start with inherited mineral rights in Ohio.
