Where We Buy · Texas · Hutchinson County

Sell your Hutchinson County mineral rights.

Stinnett, Borger, Fritch, Sanford: we buy minerals and royalties throughout Hutchinson County, Borger's legacy Panhandle oil and gas a century after the boom.

Hutchinson County is Borger, and Borger is the 1926 boom that Ace Borger laid out on Dixon Creek when the Panhandle field came in. A hundred years later the county is still producing from that field, shallow oil and dolomite gas, and the refineries and plants along the Canadian River are a bigger business than the wells that feed them. The minerals are old money, split fine, and often lost track of.

What produces here. Panhandle West, which made 161,200 of the county's 308,169 Mcf in August 2026, the Panhandle Hutchinson County field for oil, and Lipscomb (Cleveland), Hansford (Morrow Lower), John Creek (Kansas City), and the Hutch Granite Wash fields on the margins. Railroad Commission production for July 2026: 23,255 barrels of oil plus 3,015 barrels of condensate and 325,771 Mcf of gas. The operators you will see on checks and in the county records include Burk Royalty, High River Resources Operating, BE Anadarko II, Pantera Energy, Momentum Operating, Energon Oil, and Latigo Petroleum. Drilling is idle: the Commission shows no new-drill permits approved in Hutchinson County in 2025 or 2026 through early November.

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.

Formations & Plays

What produces here

Panhandle Hutchinson County field

The oil that built Borger in 1926, shallow dolomite and granite wash wells drilled by the thousand, now a few thousand barrels a month.

Panhandle West

The county's biggest producer today, legacy gas on the western side; the Panhandle field's gas here is helium-bearing, which is why the Bureau of Mines built its Exell helium plant in neighboring Moore County.

Cleveland, Morrow, and Granite Wash

Lipscomb (Cleveland), Hansford (Morrow Lower), and the small Hutch Granite Wash fields on the county's edges.

Questions

Straight answers for Hutchinson County owners

What are mineral rights worth in Hutchinson County?
Hutchinson County interests are legacy stripper royalties from the Panhandle field, and they are worth the tail of the wells that exist, not a drilling story: the Commission shows no new-drill permits here in 2025 or 2026. A lot of what we see is a small fraction of a 1920s lease that has been divided among heirs, often with money sitting in suspense because nobody updated the ownership. We find that too, free.
My parent died without a will. Can I still sell?
Yes. Texas has no dormant mineral act, so the interest is still in the family, and an affidavit of heirship becomes prima facie evidence of title once it has been of record for five years under Estates Code 203.001. We prepare and record the affidavit at our cost as part of closing, and we will tell you if the chain needs more than that.
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.
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.
