Lamesa, O'Donnell, Ackerly, Welch: we buy minerals and royalties throughout Dawson County, the northern Midland Basin's Spraberry frontier.
Dawson County is cotton country that turned into one of the Midland Basin's growth counties while most of the owners were not paying attention. The Spraberry Trend horizontals that filled up Martin County kept walking north, and Lamesa now sits in the middle of a county producing close to two million barrels a month. A lot of the minerals under that are still owned the way they were in the 1950s: in undivided fractions held by farm families, many of them paid off old Welch field verticals that tell you nothing about what the acreage is worth now.
What produces here. Spraberry Trend Area horizontals, which accounted for about 1.85 million of the county's 1.94 million barrels in August 2026, over the legacy Welch, Ackerly (Dean Sand), Jo-Mill, and Wells (Devonian) fields. Railroad Commission production for July 2026: 1,999,575 barrels of oil and about 1.64 million Mcf of casinghead gas. The operators you will see on checks and in the county records include Hibernia Resources, IKE Operating, Birch Operations, Laguna Texas Resources, SM Energy, Apache, and Burleson Petroleum. Drilling is active: 79 new-drill permits approved between January and early November 2026, 58 of them horizontal, led by PBEX-MCM Operating with 16, Deep Blue Central with 13, Laguna Texas Resources with 13, and Apache with 12, nearly all in the Spraberry Trend.
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 oil: horizontal Spraberry and Wolfcamp drilling that moved north out of Martin County and now runs under the cotton fields around Lamesa.
Legacy verticals that still pay small checks to families all over the county.
