In 1904 the Uncle Bill Lowery No. 1 came in on Cedar Creek at the edge of Cleveland, and by July 1905 there were 220 wells making eleven thousand barrels a day with the gas vented to the sky for lack of a market. Production peaked at 2.2 million barrels in 1925, was still over a million barrels in 1980, and has been sliding since. The county got one more look in 2011 when the Mississippi Lime horizontal play pushed east onto the Cherokee Platform here, and then the rigs left. **What produces here.** Stripper oil from the Cleveland field and the shallow sands, with a few Mississippian horizontals. The Oklahoma Geological Survey's 2011 drilling review records Pablo Energy's Ripley 1H-31 in 22N-4E opening horizontal Mississippian production in Pawnee County and Territory Resources' Beast 1-27H in 23N-4E following it; those wells declined fast and the play did not take hold. Today the state production data compiled by aggregators shows about forty operators reporting, nearly all oil, with BSO Inc, Krotzer Oil Company, Elite Resources and Dean Eyler of Cleveland, Contango Resources on the Helmick lease, FGS Energy of Duncan, Eagle Road Oil and Casey Musgrove Oil of Ponca City among the names on 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 2025 or 2026 drilling in Pawnee 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?

Formations & Plays ## What produces here ### Cleveland field and the shallow sands Opened in 1904 by the Uncle Bill Lowery No. 1, Oklahoma's first oil boom town; 220 wells making eleven thousand barrels a day by 1905, fifty square miles of eastern Pawnee County, and stripper production still paying under Cleveland operators. ### Mississippian horizontals The western edge of the Mississippi Lime play reached Pawnee County in 2011, with horizontal wells in Townships 22 and 23 North, Range 4 East; a handful still produce, and no rig has followed since.

It depends on the wells actually on your tract, their decline, and your decimal, and in Pawnee County that ranges from a share of a century-old Cleveland field lease to a 2012-vintage Mississippian horizontal unit to bare acreage, so county averages mislead. We value off the actual wells and activity and show the work, free. Osage County across the river is active. Does that reach Pawnee County? The geology does; the ownership does not. Osage minerals are held by the Osage Nation under federal lease, which is why operators concentrate there, and the Arkansas River is the line. Pawnee County has the same shallow sands and Mississippian but private minerals, less infrastructure and, since the Mississippian wells of 2011 to 2014, almost no new drilling. We track permits and will say when that changes. What taxes come off a Pawnee County royalty? Oklahoma's gross production tax is 7 percent, with a 2 percent rate for the first 36 months on qualifying horizontal wells. The county's Mississippian horizontals are past that window and the Cleveland field wells never had it, so expect the full 7 percent off the top before your royalty is figured. What does it cost me to sell? Nothing. Berlin pays all title work, document preparation, and recording costs.
