New Lexington, Somerset, Crooksville, Junction City, Shawnee: we buy minerals and royalties throughout Perry County, old oil and coal country south of the Utica.
Perry County dug coal and pumped oil long before the Utica was a word anyone used, and the ground shows it: more than a thousand wells on the books and barely half of them producing. The royalties that remain are small and oil-weighted, and a surprising number of them are still paid to estates that were never closed.
What produces here. ODNR's 2025 annual production report shows 49,233 barrels of oil and 120,803 Mcf of gas from Perry County, with 1,080 wells reporting and 519 producing, none of them horizontal. Knox Energy had the most producing wells at 88; R C Poling made 70,719 Mcf, more than half the county's gas; and Luoil, Bell Oil, Kenoil, Keller Krude Oil, Huffman-Bowers, J T Plus Well Service, Northwood Energy and Gaia Exploration are the other names on checks. ODNR's 2026 quarterly horizontal report lists no Perry 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.
Perry County is oil-weighted for Ohio: 49,233 barrels against 120,803 Mcf in 2025, from a few hundred small wells. Less than half the county's wells reported any production at all.
