Garden City: twelve rigs in a county with no incorporated towns, drilling four separate Wolfcamp benches under the same sections.
Glasscock County has no incorporated towns and twelve active rigs. Almost everything here is drilling.
Roughly 5,131 wells produce out of about 13,165 drilled, with 38 permits approved in the last 90 days on top of the twelve rigs. Recent drilling has targeted Wolfcamp A, Wolfcamp D, Wolfcamp B upper, and Lower Spraberry as four distinct benches under the same acreage. Exxon, APA Corp, Crescent Energy, and Occidental are the largest producing operators.
That stack is where the money is and where offers diverge. Wolfcamp D in particular is routinely left out, because it is deeper, less developed, and contributes nothing to your current royalty check. A buyer applying a multiple to that check assigns it zero. When we underwrite here we count locations bench by bench, state the probability we applied to each, and show you the arithmetic, including where we think a bench is speculative.
In a county being drilled this hard, an owner holding acreage with several undrilled benches has genuine optionality, and the honest answer is sometimes to keep it. Our page on when not to sell exists for exactly that reason.
Texas legal descriptions run on abstracts and surveys, there is no general forced pooling, and there is no state income tax, so nothing is withheld from your proceeds at closing.
Send a survey and abstract or a check stub and we will run your actual sections.
The most drilled bench here over the last five years.
A deeper separately developed target, and one of the most commonly omitted from an offer.
Developed alongside A and D from the same pads.
The shallower Midland Basin target, co-developed across much of the county.
