[Get a Free Valuation](https://www.berlinroyalties.com/free-valuation/) or call or text [918-984-1645](tel:9189841645) 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?

A small gas royalty, usually from a Huffman-Bowers, Wyant Exploration or J T Plus well, and the honest number is the well's actual production times your decimal. Gallia County made under 10,000 barrels and about 55,000 Mcf in 2025 across 354 wells, so county averages are tiny and individual wells vary. We value off the actual wells and show the work, free. Can I lose Ohio mineral rights I have not done anything with? Yes, two ways, and neither needs a court. Under the Dormant Mineral Act, R.C. 5301.56, a surface owner can reclaim a severed mineral interest that has had no saving event in 20 years by serving notice, and you then have 60 days to record a claim to preserve. Under the Marketable Title Act, 40 years after the surface owner's root of title with no recorded saving event, the interest can be extinguished with no notice at all; the Ohio Supreme Court confirmed in West v. Bode (2020) that both routes apply. If nothing has been recorded in your name in decades, record a claim to preserve before you do anything else. My parents' royalty checks stopped years ago. Where did the money go? Possibly to the state. Ohio presumes unclaimed mineral proceeds abandoned after one year and operators turn them over to the Division of Unclaimed Funds, the shortest dormancy period in the country. Search there under the decedent's name before assuming the operator still holds the money, then get the interest transferred into your name so the next check has somewhere to go. What does it cost me to sell? Nothing. Berlin pays all title work, document preparation, and recording costs.
