Frio County is where the Eagle Ford starts to thin and the older Pearsall trend takes over, and it has had three or four waves of drilling since the 1980s. The current one belongs to Formentera, which permitted more wells here in 2026 than every other operator combined. The royalty owners are peanut and watermelon families around Pearsall and Dilley, and their heirs.

**What produces here.** Railroad Commission production for August 2026: 466,993 barrels of oil, 56,197 barrels of condensate, and about 1.0 million Mcf of gas (796,000 casinghead, 204,000 gas well), led by Briscoe Ranch (Eagleford), then Eagleville (Eagle Ford-1), Indio Tanks (Pearsall), and Pearsall (Austin Chalk). The operators you will see on checks and in the county records include Javelin Energy Partners, Formentera Operations, Trinity Operating (USG), Rosewood Resources, Trailblazer Energy Resources, EXCO Operating, U.S. Energy Development, and Ageron Energy. The Commission approved 60 new drilling permits in 2026 through November 7, 45 of them horizontal: Formentera 32, Rosewood 11, Central Gulf Petroleum 8 (shallow wells), and Texas American Resources 5, with Formentera's Empire, Julian and Sendero units and Texas American's Treaty Oak well approved in the first week of 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?

Questions

## Straight answers for Frio County owners

What are mineral rights worth in Frio County?
It depends on whether your tract is in an Eagle Ford or Pearsall unit, how old the laterals are, whether the operator is refracturing or infilling, and your decimal. Frio County has a wide range from busy Formentera pads to shallow vertical wells near Bigfoot, so a county figure is useless. We value off the actual wells and permits and show the work, free.

My family never probated the minerals. Can they still be sold?
Usually, yes. Texas lets an affidavit of heirship stand in for probate, and under Estates Code 203.001 it becomes prima facie evidence of the family tree once it has been of record for five years. We prepare and record them at our cost as part of a purchase, and we will tell you up front if your chain needs a probate instead.

A horizontal well crosses my tract but I never signed a lease. Who pays me?
Nothing happens automatically. Texas has no general forced pooling, so an operator needs your lease or a ratification before your tract contributes to a unit, and a lateral drilled under an unleased tract without one is the operator's problem, not yours. If you have been told you are in a unit but have no lease, we will pull the unit filings and tell you what you actually have.

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.
