Pampa, Lefors, McLean, Alanreed: we buy minerals and royalties throughout Gray County, a century of Panhandle field oil and gas with no new drilling.
Gray County is Pampa and the Panhandle field, and both have been there since the 1920s. The Combs-Worley discovery south of town in 1925 started a boom that built the city, and the shallow oil and gas wells it left behind are still pumping, slowly, under leases that have been handed down three and four times. Nobody is drilling here. What a Gray County owner has is an old, small, durable check, and usually a few cousins who have one too.
What produces here. The Panhandle Gray County field, which made 35,449 of the county's 44,379 barrels in August 2026, Panhandle West and Panhandle East for gas, and the Hoover Northeast fields. Railroad Commission production for July 2026: 58,020 barrels of oil and 461,803 Mcf of gas. The operators you will see on checks and in the county records include BCE-Mach III, Seek Energy, Petco Energy, Oilwell Operators, Ponderosa TX Operating, Exxcel Production, and Pantera Energy. Drilling is idle: the Commission shows no new-drill permits approved in Gray County in 2025 or 2026 through early November; the last were a handful of Seek Energy and Occam Petroleum verticals in 2022.
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? Start with inherited mineral rights in Texas.
