Denton, Justin, Argyle: roughly 3,100 producing wells under a county that has doubled in population since the drilling stopped.
Denton County has an unusual problem: the drilling came first and the subdivisions came after. A large share of Denton mineral owners now live somewhere else entirely, or bought a house without ever learning whether the minerals came with it. Thirty two Barnett wells have first produced here since January 2024 and twenty permits have been approved in the last 90 days, so the question of who owns what under these neighborhoods is no longer academic.
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 units rather than off a county average, 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.
Well, rig and permit counts are sourced from Enverus and current as of August 2026. See our Barnett Shale page for how the play as a whole is valued.
Roughly 3,100 producing wells across the county, with BKV operating about 2,200 of them.
Denton has 32 Barnett wells first producing since January 2024, which in a play written off a decade ago is a meaningful number.
