Panhandle, White Deer, Groom, Skellytown: we buy minerals and royalties throughout Carson County, where the Panhandle's first oil well came in on the 6666 Ranch.
Carson County is where the Panhandle oilfield began, on the 6666 Ranch in 1921, and a century later it is almost entirely a gas county: old Panhandle West wells making dolomite gas under wheat and ranch land, with one operator on most of the checks. The oil is nearly gone. The minerals are not; they are held by the descendants of the ranchers and farmers who were here when Gulf drilled Burnett No. 2, in fractions that have gotten small.
What produces here. Panhandle West, which made 484,070 of the county's 494,876 Mcf in August 2026, plus the Panhandle Carson County and Panhandle Hutchinson County oil fields. Railroad Commission production for July 2026: 7,471 barrels of oil and 505,400 Mcf of gas, almost all of it gas-well gas. The operators you will see on checks and in the county records include High River Resources Operating, which produced about three quarters of the county's gas in August 2026, along with Pantera Energy, BCE-Mach III, Red Line Company, Ponderosa TX Operating, Makar Production, and Circle W Oil and Gas. Drilling is idle: the Commission shows no new-drill permits approved in Carson County in 2025 or 2026 through early November.
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.
Nearly all of the county's production today: legacy dolomite and granite wash gas from the giant Panhandle field, operated mostly by High River Resources.
The oil side of the field, where Gulf's Burnett No. 2 found the Panhandle's first oil in May 1921; now a few thousand barrels a month.
