Where We Buy · Texas · Eagle Ford Shale

Sell your Eagle Ford Shale mineral rights and royalties.

Karnes, DeWitt, and the condensate window: South Texas minerals with a long, bankable tail.

The Eagle Ford turned South Texas ranch country into one of America's great oil fields, and it has matured into something valuable in a different way: predictable. Wells are well understood, refrac and infill programs are extending unit life, and buyers pay real money for that certainty. Owners deserve a share of it.

Whatever you own, producing royalties, non-producing acreage, or an inherited fraction, we will identify it from whatever paperwork exists, value it off the actual wells and activity, and show you the reasoning with the offer. Free, no obligation, and if keeping it is the right answer, we will say so.

Questions

Straight answers for Eagle Ford Shale owners

Is the Eagle Ford played out?
No. Development slowed from the boom years, but core counties still see steady drilling, Austin Chalk targets added inventory, and refracs are reviving older units. Finished is the most expensive assumption a seller can make.
How are gas-window interests valued versus oil-window?
Oil-window royalties usually carry higher per-acre values; gas and condensate interests price off the forward gas curve and processing terms. We show which window you are in and what that means.
What does selling cost me?
Nothing. We pay all title, document, and recording costs, and Texas-standard documents come prepared by us.
