Gail, Mesquite, and the ranches along the Caprock: we buy minerals and royalties throughout Borden County, the northern Midland Basin's Spraberry and Wolfcamp development.
Borden County has about 600 people and produces more oil than most states. The Horseshoe Atoll turns south under the county, the old Jo-Mill field paid modest royalties for decades, and then HighPeak, Surge, and Firebird turned the southern and western parts of the county into a Spraberry and Wolfcamp development block. The minerals are held the way ranch minerals usually are: in big undivided fractions by families who are not in a hurry, many of whom have received a hundred offers and no explanation.
What produces here. Spraberry Trend Area horizontals, which made 1,157,864 of the county's 1,258,884 barrels in August 2026, over the legacy Jo-Mill (Spraberry), Gopher Creek, Peg's Draw, and Mesquite Creek (Mississippian) fields. Railroad Commission production for July 2026: 1,317,311 barrels of oil and about 1.7 million Mcf of casinghead gas. The operators you will see on checks and in the county records include Surge Operating, HighPeak Energy, Firebird Energy II, Jo Mill Oil Company, Apache, Aviator Energy, and Winn Operating. Drilling is active: 87 new-drill permits approved between January and early November 2026, 84 of them horizontal, led by HighPeak with 40, Surge with 23, Yukon Exploration with 14, and Firebird with 5. HighPeak said on its fourth-quarter 2025 call that about 70 percent of 2026 capital goes to its Flat Top area, split between North Borden and Flat Top central, mostly Wolfcamp A and Lower Spraberry co-development.
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 Texas.
Lower Spraberry and Wolfcamp A horizontals on HighPeak's Flat Top block and Surge's acreage, which together make nearly all of the county's oil.
