[Get a Free Valuation](https://www.berlinroyalties.com/free-valuation/) [Check an Offer You Have](https://www.berlinroyalties.com/offer-checker/) We buy producing royalties, overriding royalties, non-participating royalties and non-producing minerals in Oklahoma. Send a check stub, a division order, or just a county and a family name, and we will tell you what you own and what it is worth before anyone asks you to decide anything. ## What is happening in Oklahoma right now Because a royalty is priced on what will be produced, not on what was. From Enverus, current as of 2026-08-17: - **55** active rigs - **216** permits approved in the last 90 days - **4** wells reporting first production in the last 90 days That is heavy activity, and it cuts both ways for a seller. Competition for your interest is real, so use it. But undrilled locations are also worth real money here, and an offer built only on your current monthly check is buying that upside from you for nothing. Ask any buyer what they are paying for the undrilled side. ## What Oklahoma already owes you, before you sell anything Worth checking first. Some things that look like a reason to sell are a payment problem the operator owes you. - **First payment due:** 6 months after first sale - **Ongoing oil payments:** End of 2nd month after sale - **Ongoing gas payments:** End of 3rd month after sale - **Late payment interest:** 12% per year, compounded annually. Unmarketable title: WSJ prime (since Nov 2018) - **Minimum payment rule:** $10 to $100 may be paid annually; under $10 held until production ends Statute: 52 O.S. § 570.10. Full detail for every state is on [royalty payment laws by state](https://www.berlinroyalties.com/royalty-payment-laws/). ## Who is on your check The largest operators in Oklahoma by producing well count. The company on your check is your **operator**, not a buyer, and the two get confused constantly. - [DIVERSIFIED ENERGY](https://www.berlinroyalties.com/operators/company/diversified-energy/), roughly 4150 producing wells - [MACH NATURAL RESOURCES LP](https://www.berlinroyalties.com/operators/company/mach-natural-resources-lp/), roughly 3978 producing wells - [MERIT ENERGY](https://www.berlinroyalties.com/operators/company/merit-energy/), roughly 2514 producing wells - [DEVON](https://www.berlinroyalties.com/operators/company/devon/), roughly 1507 producing wells - [FLYWHEEL ENERGY](https://www.berlinroyalties.com/operators/company/flywheel-energy/), roughly 1500 producing wells - [ABUNDANCE ENERGY SERVICES LLC](https://www.berlinroyalties.com/operators/company/abundance-energy-services-llc/), roughly 1290 producing wells If your check has stopped or shrunk, start with [the statement decoder](https://www.berlinroyalties.com/royalty-statement-decoder/) rather than with a sale. ## How the number gets built An offer on a producing royalty is a multiple of recent monthly income, and that multiple is a payback period in disguise. Three assumptions decide whether it is fair: - **The decline rate on your specific wells.** Shale and conventional decline nothing alike, and a formula cannot tell which you own. - **The price deck.** The forward curve, not the spot headline. - **The undrilled locations.** The part that never appears in a mailed offer. Ask any buyer for all three. Our [offer checker](https://www.berlinroyalties.com/offer-checker/) converts a specific offer into the payback it implies, and [how mineral rights are valued](https://www.berlinroyalties.com/mineral-rights-value/) covers the method in full. ## Process and timeline - You send whatever you have. One business day later you have a number and the reasoning behind it. - You decide on your own clock. There is no deadline and we will not invent one. - Purchase agreement in plain language, then title work, which we pay for. - Closing in roughly two to four weeks on a clean interest. Probate gaps and old severances take longer. - Wire or check, and the deed records in the county. There is no cost to you at any step. We are a buyer, not a broker, so no commission comes out of your proceeds. ## Where we buy in Oklahoma We have written up **39** Oklahoma counties in detail, each with current producing well, rig and permit counts.
