Walters, Temple, Devol, Randlett: we buy minerals and royalties throughout Cotton County, the old Walters field and Red River stripper oil that spilled north from Burkburnett.
Cotton County had its oil boom in 1919, when the Burkburnett excitement across the Red River spilled north and wildcatters drilled the whole county looking for more of it. Only the Walters field paid: by September 1919 the area was making about thirty-four hundred barrels a day, by 1920 there were 290 producing wells, and Devol had refineries and pumping stations serving the Texas pools. A century later, what is left is a few dozen stripper wells, local operators, and royalty checks that have been small for a very long time.
What produces here. Legacy stripper oil and no gas. The state production data compiled by aggregators shows roughly a dozen operators reporting oil and none reporting gas in Cotton County, with Ole Crow Operating and Clark Operating of Wichita Falls, 3 H Operating of Walters, E4 Production, C and Y Casing Pulling of Duncan, Bridwell Oil and Inman Oil among the names on checks and in the county records. Thousands of wells are on file from the boom, most of them plugged. The Oklahoma Corporation Commission does not publish a simple monthly county total, so we describe activity rather than quote a figure, and we found no 2025 or 2026 drilling in Cotton County to report.
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 Oklahoma.
