[Get a Free Valuation](https://www.berlinroyalties.com/free-valuation/) or call or text [918-984-1645](tel:9189841645) 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?

Formations & Plays ## What produces here ### Slaughter 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. ### Levelland The San Andres field directly north of Slaughter on the same shelf trend, the county's second largest producer. ### Clear Fork and Abo fields Linker, Hamilton, Smyer, and the TSTAR Abo field: smaller, deeper legacy oil that still pays.

Free to search, and useful whether or not you ever sell anything. Questions ## Straight answers for Hockley County owners What are mineral rights worth in Hockley County? It depends on which unit you are in. Slaughter and Levelland were carved into dozens of separate waterflood and CO2 flood units by different operators, and a fraction in an Oxy CO2 unit declines differently from a fraction in a Hilcorp waterflood or an unflooded lease. The county average is meaningless. We pull the unit's own history, value it off that, and show the work, free. What happens to royalties the operator could not deliver? Texas operators turn unclaimed mineral proceeds over to the state after three years, and the money sits at ClaimItTexas until an owner or heir claims it. Checking the state's unclaimed property records is part of our free research, and if we find money in your family's name we tell you how to claim it whether or not you sell to us. Nothing has been drilled on our land in decades. Do we still own the minerals? Yes. Texas has no dormant mineral act, so a severed mineral interest does not revert to the surface owner no matter how long it sits idle, and nobody has to file anything to keep it alive. What idle acreage is worth depends on whether anyone is permitting nearby, and we will tell you plainly if nobody is. 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 Hockley County The things owners here most often wish they had read first.
