Levelland, Sundown, Anton, Ropesville: we buy minerals and royalties throughout Hockley County, home of the Levelland and Slaughter San Andres giants.
Hockley County is two giant San Andres fields and the town between them. Slaughter and Levelland have been producing since the late 1930s, they were unitized and waterflooded generations ago, and parts of them are under CO2 flood today, which means the royalty checks here are among the oldest and most finely divided in West Texas. Almost nobody is drilling horizontals in Hockley County. What you own is a share of a flood, and a flood is a thing you can model.
What produces here. Slaughter, which made 298,988 of the county's 675,244 barrels in August 2026, and Levelland at 209,711, with TSTAR (Abo), Linker (Clear Fork), Hamilton (Clearfork), Illusion Lake (San Andres), and Smyer behind them. Railroad Commission production for July 2026: 669,300 barrels of oil and 395,008 Mcf of gas. The operators you will see on checks and in the county records include Hilcorp Energy, Occidental Permian EOR, BCE-Mach III, Oxy USA EOR, Texland Petroleum, Basin Oil and Gas Operating, and Burk Royalty. Drilling is infill, not exploration: 25 new-drill permits approved between January and early November 2026, 13 of them Texland Petroleum wells, 14 vertical and 10 directional, with a single horizontal.
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.
A billion-barrel San Andres field across 100,000 acres of Hockley, Cochran, and Terry counties, discovered 1937, developed as dozens of separate units that have been waterflooded for generations, with Occidental's EOR units running CO2 floods in parts of it.
The San Andres field directly north of Slaughter on the same shelf trend, the county's second largest producer.
Linker, Hamilton, Smyer, and the TSTAR Abo field: smaller, deeper legacy oil that still pays.
