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?

Questions

## Straight answers for Irion County owners

What are mineral rights worth in Irion County?
It depends on which ranch block your tract sits in and who holds the lease. Irion County has gone from quiet Canyon sand gas to one of the busiest permitting counties in the southern Midland Basin, and a tract inside a Triple Crown or SEM horizontal unit is a different asset from one on the county's eastern edge. We value off the actual wells and permits and show the work, free.

Can an operator force pool my Texas minerals?
Not the way Oklahoma owners get pooled. Texas has no general compulsory pooling statute; the Mineral Interest Pooling Act is narrow and rarely used. Operators pool by lease clause or by written agreement, so the pooling language in your lease, not a state order, decides whether a horizontal well on the neighbor's tract pays you anything.

A deed in my chain reserved half the minerals. Why does that matter?
Because of the Duhig rule. When a grantor reserves minerals in a deed but does not own enough to cover both the reservation and what the deed purports to convey, Texas courts make the grantor's reservation absorb the shortfall. West Texas and North Texas chains are full of these from the 1920s through the 1950s, and they decide how much you actually own, which is why we run title before we quote a number.

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.
