Okemah, Weleetka, Boley, Paden: we buy minerals and royalties throughout Okfuskee County, legacy shallow oil from the 1920s and a few horizontal gas units on the Arkoma edge.
Okfuskee County is Okemah, Woody Guthrie's hometown, Boley, the historic all-Black town, and a lot of Sandstone Hills pasture with old pumpjacks on it. Oil came in near Paden in 1914, then Okfuskee, Bearden, Okemah and Pharoah through the 1920s, and the county's population peaked in 1930 on the strength of it. The boom is ninety years gone, but a surprising number of the wells are not, and a few horizontal gas units have been added on the eastern edge.
What produces here. Stripper oil from dozens of small operators and gas from a few horizontal units. The state production data compiled by aggregators shows more than sixty operators reporting in Okfuskee County from several thousand wellbores on file, with Calyx Energy III of Tulsa carrying the gas from horizontal units such as Cheatwood, Halpert and Grimes, and Antlers Energy, Circle 9 Resources, Culbreath Oil and Gas, C and C Productions, Atlas Operating, Elite Resources and individual operators like Richard Leon Bailey of Paden among the names on oil checks and in the county records. 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 new 2025 or 2026 permits in Okfuskee County in our search.
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.
