Why Roger Mills County Minerals Are Valuable Right Now

Roger Mills County is experiencing a drilling renaissance. Located in the heart of the Western Anadarko Basin, the county has become a focal point for operators targeting the Cherokee Shale and other stacked pay formations. The numbers tell the story:

• #9 in Oklahoma for total oil and gas production

• #10 in Oklahoma for both oil and natural gas production individually

• Over 1,800 active wells currently producing

• 4,100+ wells drilled throughout the county's history

• 74 operators actively working in the county

• 9,300+ permits on file for future drilling

The Western Anadarko Basin is attracting renewed investment as operators apply modern horizontal drilling and completion techniques to formations that were previously underdeveloped. Roger Mills County, along with neighboring Ellis, Custer, and Dewey counties, sits at the heart of this activity.

Active Formations in Roger Mills County

Roger Mills County produces from multiple geological formations stacked on top of each other—giving operators multiple targets and mineral owners long-term value:

Cherokee Group

The Cherokee Group is the hottest play in the Western Anadarko right now. Within this group, operators are actively targeting:

• Cherokee Shale – A true unconventional shale play that's attracting major investment. Operators are drilling 2-mile and even 3-mile lateral horizontal wells with exceptional results. Upland Exploration recently completed what's been called "the best Cherokee well to date in Oklahoma"—drawing attention from across the industry.

• Red Fork Sand – A prolific conventional reservoir within the Cherokee Group. The Red Fork has produced gas for decades in Roger Mills County and continues to be a reliable target, especially when combined with modern horizontal techniques.

• Skinner Sand – Another productive conventional interval within the Cherokee Group being developed alongside Cherokee Shale and Red Fork targets.

Marmaton Formation

The Marmaton is a proven oil and gas producer across Roger Mills and Ellis counties. Operators have built substantial inventories of Marmaton locations, with wells generating strong returns and relatively quick payouts.

Cleveland and Tonkawa Formations

The Cleveland and Tonkawa sands were among the first formations developed during the Western Anadarko's earlier boom in the 2000s. Chesapeake Energy drilled over 190 horizontal wells targeting these formations. Today, operators continue developing remaining locations and applying improved completion techniques to boost production.

Granite Wash

The Granite Wash is a liquids-rich tight sands play that stretches across western Oklahoma and into the Texas Panhandle. Roger Mills County sits within the Granite Wash fairway, and drilling activity continues with multiple rigs active in the formation.

Major Operators in Roger Mills County

When well-capitalized, experienced operators are drilling in your area, it's a strong signal that your minerals have value. Here are the key players in Roger Mills County:

Mewbourne Oil Company

Mewbourne is one of the most active private drillers in the Western Anadarko Basin, running 7-9 drilling rigs across western Oklahoma. The company has significantly ramped up operations, doubling its new well count in the Cleveland formation from 11 wells in 2022 to 21 wells in 2023. Even more impressive, Mewbourne's 90-day cumulative production per well improved by 44%—demonstrating that better techniques are unlocking more value from these formations. Mewbourne is actively permitting and drilling Cherokee wells throughout Roger Mills County.

Upland Exploration

Upland Exploration has emerged as a dominant force in the Cherokee play, controlling over 200,000 leasehold acres across western Oklahoma. The company has drilled some of the most prolific wells in the region, including:

• Telli Camdyn 30/19 1H in Roger Mills County – One of the most productive wells in the entire state

• Barbara 3/34 1H in Ellis County – Another top performer

• Blue Clear Sky 19-31 1H – The first 3-mile lateral in the Cherokee play

Upland was the first operator to complete a lateral longer than two miles in the Cherokee (The Quiet Man 105-107 1H in August 2023) and continues pushing the boundaries of what's possible in the play. Industry observers have credited Upland with drilling "the best Cherokee well to date in Oklahoma."

Crawley Petroleum

Crawley Petroleum Corporation, founded in 1972, is a privately held exploration and production company headquartered in Oklahoma City. The company has been expanding its drilling activity in the Western Anadarko Basin, acquiring prime acreage and developing new wells. Crawley's long history in Oklahoma gives them deep knowledge of the region's geology and production potential.

SandRidge Energy

SandRidge Energy made headlines with a $144 million acquisition of Cherokee play assets in Ellis and Roger Mills counties. The acquisition included 42 producing wells, 4 drilled uncompleted wells, and leasehold in 11 drilling spacing units—adding up to 22 potential two-mile lateral wells in the core of the Cherokee. SandRidge's investment underscores institutional confidence in Roger Mills County's future.

Other Active Operators

Additional companies with significant operations in Roger Mills County include:

• Devon Energy – Testing additional Cherokee wells and maintaining strategic Oklahoma positions

• BCE Mach III – Operating legacy Cimarex Energy wells

• Presidio Petroleum – Holding substantial federal lease acreage

• Mustang Fuel Corporation – Long-time regional operator

This diversity of operators creates competition for minerals and drives healthy lease bonus rates and acquisition activity.

Why Roger Mills County Mineral Owners Choose to Sell

Every mineral owner's situation is different. Here's why many Roger Mills County owners decide to sell:

The Cherokee Boom Creates Opportunity

When drilling activity heats up, mineral values increase. Selling during an active drilling cycle lets you capture the value of that activity—rather than waiting years to see whether wells actually get drilled on your specific acreage.

Inherited Minerals

Many Roger Mills County minerals have passed through multiple generations. If you inherited minerals from parents or grandparents, you may not live in Oklahoma, may not understand the paperwork you're receiving, or may simply prefer cash over the complexity of ongoing ownership.

Pooling Order Confusion

The Oklahoma Corporation Commission issues pooling orders when operators want to drill wells. These documents can be confusing—with multiple election options, tight deadlines, and calculations that require expertise to understand. Many owners would rather sell than navigate the process.

Fractional Interests

After multiple generations of inheritance, many mineral interests have been divided into small fractions. If you own 2 net mineral acres—or even less—the royalty checks may not justify the hassle of annual tax filings, tracking production, and managing correspondence from operators.

Declining Royalties

If your wells are older and production has declined, selling locks in the remaining value before natural depletion reduces your income further. Many owners prefer a lump sum now over diminishing checks for the next decade.

Cash Needs

Whether you're paying off debt, funding education, buying a home, or simply want to invest elsewhere—selling minerals provides immediate liquidity from an asset that otherwise generates unpredictable income over many years.

What Are Roger Mills County Minerals Worth?

Mineral values in Roger Mills County vary based on several factors:

• Production status – Producing minerals are worth more than non-producing

• Location within the county – Proximity to Upland, Mewbourne, or SandRidge activity matters

• Target formation – Cherokee Shale locations command premium prices right now

• Lease status – Leased minerals with pending wells may be more valuable

• Operator quality – Wells operated by top-tier companies typically perform better

• Net mineral acres – Larger positions are generally more valuable per acre

• Royalty rate – Higher royalty percentages mean more income and higher values

Producing minerals in Roger Mills County typically sell for 3x to 6x annual royalty income, depending on well age, decline rate, and operator quality.

Non-producing minerals in the active Cherokee fairway may sell for $2,000 to $5,000+ per net mineral acre, depending on proximity to drilling and lease status.

The only way to know what your specific minerals are worth is to get an offer from a real buyer. Berlin Royalties provides free valuations with no obligation to sell.

The Cherokee Play: Why Roger Mills County Is Hot Right Now

The Cherokee Shale play has transformed the Western Anadarko Basin. Here's what's driving the excitement:

Record-Breaking Wells

Upland Exploration's Telli Camdyn 30/19 1H in Roger Mills County is among the most productive wells in Oklahoma. The company has drilled nearly 20 Cherokee wells with outstanding results, proving the play's commercial viability.

Longer Laterals, Better Economics

Operators started with 1-mile laterals, progressed to 2-mile laterals, and Upland recently completed its first 3-mile lateral (Blue Clear Sky 19-31 1H). Longer laterals mean more production per well and better economics—which translates to higher mineral values.

Major Acquisitions

SandRidge Energy's $144 million Cherokee acquisition focused on Ellis and Roger Mills counties demonstrates institutional-level confidence in the play. When public companies spend that kind of money, it validates the underlying asset quality.

Stacked Pay Potential

The Cherokee play isn't just one formation—it includes the Cherokee Shale, Red Fork, and Skinner sands. Operators can target multiple zones from the same surface location, multiplying the development potential of each drilling spacing unit.

Low Breakeven Costs

Industry observers have noted that Cherokee wells in western Oklahoma generate "one of the lowest breakeven oil prices in the U.S."—meaning these wells remain profitable even when commodity prices decline.

For mineral owners in Roger Mills County, this activity creates a window of opportunity. Selling during an active drilling cycle lets you capture that value—rather than waiting to see whether your specific acreage gets developed.
