Mertzon, Barnhart, Sherwood: we buy minerals and royalties throughout Irion County, the southern Midland Basin's Spraberry and Wolfcamp edge.
Irion County used to be the kind of place where a mineral owner got a small Canyon gas check and a nice view. That changed when horizontal Spraberry and Wolfcamp drilling came down the Midland Basin's southwest flank, and the county now carries more new-drill permits than most of the counties people have actually heard of. Big ranch tracts, a handful of aggressive operators, and families holding fractions of leases signed before any of them were born.
What produces here. Spraberry Trend Area and Lin (Wolfcamp) horizontals, with the old Canyon sand gas fields behind them. Railroad Commission production for July 2026: 815,466 barrels of oil plus 4,857 barrels of condensate and about 13.9 million Mcf of gas, which makes Irion one of the gassiest oil counties in the basin. The operators you will see on checks and in the county records include Permian Resources, SEM Operating, Pioneer Natural Resources, Apache, Hibernia Resources, Moriah Operating, Dallas Production, and Triple Crown Resources. Drilling is active: the Commission approved 90 new-drill permits here between January and early November 2026, every one of them horizontal, led by Triple Crown with 47, SEM Operating with 16, Dallas Production with 11, and Pioneer with 6, split about 55 Spraberry Trend and 30 Lin Wolfcamp.
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.
The Railroad Commission's largest oil field designation in the county, drilled horizontally on the big ranches north and west of Mertzon.
