Logan, Laurelville, Murray City, Haydenville, Rockbridge: we buy minerals and royalties throughout Hocking County, oil stripper country at the southern end of the Clinton trend.
Hocking County is better known for the Hocking Hills than for oil, but the hills have about 660 wells on the ODNR books and roughly 390 of them still pump. They are oil wells, mostly, small and old, and the families that own fractions of them are as likely to be in Columbus or Florida as in Logan.
What produces here. ODNR's 2025 annual production report shows 36,959 barrels of oil and 49,905 Mcf of gas from Hocking County, with 659 wells reporting and 394 producing, none of them horizontal. Kilbarger Investments had 155 producing wells and made 10,671 barrels; Northwood Energy made 29,770 Mcf, more than half the county's gas, from 52 wells; and Hounds Oil and Gas, Howdyshell Pumping, Huffman-Bowers, Mint Mining, Petrox, Geo Kat and Logan Gas are the other names on checks. ODNR's 2026 quarterly horizontal report lists no Hocking 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.
