[Get a Free Valuation](https://www.berlinroyalties.com/free-valuation/) or call or text [918-984-1645](tel:9189841645) Gonzales County is the Eagle Ford's oil end, and it is EOG country. The wells here make oil, not gas, which matters when gas is cheap and oil is not, and the operators are still permitting pads of eight laterals at a time. If your grandparents owned land between Gonzales and Nixon, there is a decent chance a unit has been drawn around it. **What produces here.** Railroad Commission production for August 2026: 1,861,271 barrels of oil, 83,637 barrels of condensate, and about 2.64 million Mcf of gas (2.35 million casinghead, 290,000 gas well), almost all from Eagleville (Eagle Ford-1), with Eagleville (Eagle Ford-2) and Southern Bay (Eagle Ford) behind it. The operators you will see on checks and in the county records include EOG Resources (far and away the largest), FW Eagle Ford I, Marathon Oil EF (part of ConocoPhillips since November 2024), Magnolia Oil and Gas, Silver Hill Energy, Warwick-Artemis, Auterra Operating, Zarvona Energy, and Devon. The Commission approved 68 new drilling permits in 2026 through November 7, 67 of them horizontal: EOG 22, FW Eagle Ford I 19, Silver Hill 12, Marathon 7, and EOG's nine-well Grand Teton pad and FW Eagle Ford's four-well DuBose 2 pad were approved in late October. Magnolia also added 616 net acres in Gonzales County in 2026 to a contiguous block it is consolidating for drilling. 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?

Formations & Plays ## What produces here ### Eagleville (Eagle Ford-1 and Eagle Ford-2) The oil-heavy northeastern end of the Eagle Ford trend, where EOG is the dominant operator, drilled at 10,500 to 12,500 feet and still being filled in with new pads. ### Austin Chalk First Shot, Pilgrim, Smiley, and Mag: the fractured chalk that was drilled horizontally here in the 1990s and now gets picked up as a second target on Eagle Ford leases.

Free to search, and useful whether or not you ever sell anything. Questions ## Straight answers for Gonzales County owners What are mineral rights worth in Gonzales County? It depends on whether your tract is inside a producing Eagle Ford unit, which operator holds it, how many laterals remain to be drilled, and your decimal. Gonzales County is oil-weighted and still being developed, so a tract inside an EOG or FW Eagle Ford unit and a tract outside any unit are different assets entirely. We value off the actual wells and permits and show the work, free. Can I be force-pooled in Texas? Not the way Oklahoma or Louisiana owners are. Texas has no general forced pooling; the Mineral Interest Pooling Act is narrow and rarely used. Your tract joins a unit because you or a prior owner signed a lease with a pooling clause or a ratification, so the lease language, not a commission order, decides what you are owed. 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. 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. ## Before you sign anything in Gonzales County The things owners here most often wish they had read first.
