McArthur, Hamden, Zaleski, Wilkesville: we buy minerals and royalties throughout Vinton County, quiet wooded acreage with one operator of note.
Vinton County is one of Ohio's least populated counties, 12,800 people in 2020, more than 70 percent wooded, with four state forests and part of the Wayne National Forest inside it. It is also one of its quietest oil and gas counties: 116 wells on the ODNR books and one operator responsible for nearly all of the production. A page that promised a Utica play here would be lying.
What produces here. Not much. ODNR's 2025 annual production report shows 8,806 barrels of oil and 59,935 Mcf of gas from Vinton County, with 116 wells reporting and 94 producing, none of them horizontal. Bancequity Petroleum's 79 producing wells made 7,859 barrels and 58,693 Mcf, essentially the whole county; FRNERGY's 11 small gas wells, Kilbarger Investments, Kenoil and Northwood Energy account for the remainder. ODNR's 2026 quarterly horizontal report lists no Vinton 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.
Vinton County had 94 producing wells in 2025, 79 of them Bancequity Petroleum's, which made 7,859 of the county's 8,806 barrels and 58,693 of its 59,935 Mcf. Everything else is a rounding error.
