Where We Buy · Ohio · Lawrence County

Sell your Lawrence County mineral rights.

Ironton, Chesapeake, South Point, Proctorville, Coal Grove: we buy minerals and royalties throughout Lawrence County, Ohio's southern tip, with a few dozen gas wells and no oil.

Lawrence County is the southern tip of Ohio, across the river from Huntington, and the oil and gas business mostly passed it by. Ninety-nine wells report to ODNR, 64 produced in 2025, and none of them produced oil. If you inherited minerals here the question is almost never what they pay; it is whether the severed interest still exists under Ohio's two dormancy statutes.

What produces here. Very little. ODNR's 2025 annual production report shows no oil and 95,499 Mcf of gas from Lawrence County, with 99 wells reporting and 64 producing, none of them horizontal. Petro Quest made 56,547 Mcf from 28 producing wells and Myers Drilling 31,221 Mcf from 34; R H Penick's single well made 6,068 Mcf and Diversified Production's two producing wells made 1,663 Mcf. Equity Oil and Gas Funds reported 21 wells with no production. ODNR's 2026 quarterly horizontal report lists no Lawrence 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.

Questions

Straight answers for Lawrence County owners

What are mineral rights worth in Lawrence County?
Not much, and we will say so. Lawrence County had 64 producing wells in 2025, all gas, so unless your tract sits under a Myers Drilling or Petro Quest well the interest is non-producing acreage with no active play behind it. If it does sit under one, the royalty is a small gas check priced off that well. 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.
What is the Marketable Title Act and why does it matter for old mineral deeds?
It is the quieter of Ohio's two dormancy statutes. Forty years after the surface owner's root of title with no recorded saving event, a severed mineral interest can be extinguished with no notice to you, and West v. Bode (2020) confirmed it operates independently of the Dormant Mineral Act. The defense is a recorded instrument inside each 40-year window. We pull the chain free and tell you whether yours is still alive.
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.
