Burleson County is the center of the Giddings revival. The 1980s chalk wells under Caldwell and Somerville had dwindled to strippers when WildFire Energy showed that the Eagle Ford underneath them would make oil with a modern lateral, and the county now produces more than 700,000 barrels a month. In September 2026 Magnolia bought WildFire for about 4 billion dollars, so the name on the check is about to change again. If your grandparents signed a chalk lease in the 1980s, this is the county where that old paper matters most.

**What produces here.** Railroad Commission production for July 2026 (August is still being reported): 718,142 barrels of oil, 2,203 barrels of condensate, and about 626,000 Mcf of gas (591,000 casinghead, 35,000 gas well), from Giddings (Eagleford), Giddings (Austin Chalk-3), and Aguila Vado (Eagleford), with Madisonville West (Woodbine) and Giddings (Buda) behind them. The operators you will see on checks and in the county records include WildFire Energy Operating (about 90 percent of the county's oil this year, acquired by Magnolia Oil and Gas in a deal announced July 20 and completed September 10, 2026), Magnolia Oil and Gas, Trailblazer Energy Resources, Atlas Operating, Ernest Operating, Betro, Ginger Petroleum, and Rusk Energy Operating. The Commission approved 15 new horizontal drilling permits in 2026 through November 7: WildFire 7 and Magnolia 8, every one of Magnolia's since September 22, including the Breck, Kelly, Mutt and Stefka Eagle Ford units and the Ascari and Charlotte Nicole wells.

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?

The shallow Eagle Ford under the old Giddings chalk, 7,600 to 9,000 feet, drilled by WildFire in recent years and now by Magnolia, which bought WildFire in September 2026.

### Giddings (Austin Chalk-3)

The fractured chalk that was drilled in the 1980s and 1990s and is being redrilled with modern laterals on the same leases.

### Buda and Woodbine

Giddings (Buda) and Madisonville West (Woodbine) on the Brazos County side: small but real.

Questions

## Straight answers for Burleson County owners

What are mineral rights worth in Burleson County?
It depends on whether your tract is in one of the modern Eagle Ford units that WildFire built, whether the chalk and the Eagle Ford are both leased, how many laterals are still to be drilled, and your decimal. Burleson County went from old chalk strippers to more than 700,000 barrels a month in a few years, so a tract here can be worth far more than the 1990s division order suggests. We value off the actual wells and permits and show the work, free.

A deed in my chain reserved half the minerals. Do I own what I think I own?
Maybe not, and that is a Texas-specific trap. Under the Duhig rule, a grantor who reserves minerals but warrants more than they actually hold loses the reservation to the extent of the shortfall. Old reservations are routinely overstated for this reason, and we read the deeds before we quote a number so the offer matches what you can actually convey.

How soon should my first royalty check arrive on a new Texas well?
Under Natural Resources Code 91.402, the first payment is due within 120 days after the end of the month of first sale. If a well near you came on months ago and nothing has arrived, that is usually a title or division order problem rather than a lost check, and we will help you track it down whether or not you sell.

What does it cost me to sell?
Nothing. Berlin pays all title work, document preparation, and recording costs. The offer you accept is the amount you receive.
