Pomeroy, Middleport, Racine, Rutland, Syracuse: we buy minerals and royalties throughout Meigs County, shallow gas country on the Ohio River.
Meigs County was a coal county first, and the deeds show it: coal, oil and gas, and surface split up by instruments written when Southern Ohio Coal's Meigs 31 mine was still running. The Yellowbush mine near Racine closed in 2015 and the gas wells kept going, quietly, which is where most of the county's remaining mineral income comes from.
What produces here. ODNR's 2025 annual production report shows 11,462 barrels of oil and 157,267 Mcf of gas from Meigs County, with 650 wells reporting and 373 producing, none of them horizontal. Old South Oil had 57 producing wells and KYTX Energy 53; East Union Resources, River Valley Energy, Bancequity Petroleum and Mountaineer State Operations each made roughly 17,000 to 21,000 Mcf; and Rainbow Oil and Gas, Pillar Energy and Wyant Exploration also appear on checks. ODNR's 2026 quarterly horizontal report lists no Meigs 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.
About 370 Meigs County wells produced in 2025, gas-weighted and spread among a dozen small operators. Coal, not oil, was the county's big extractive industry, and mining had largely ceased by the 1990s.
Wherever your tract sits in Meigs County, we will research it free and value it with the work shown.
