Where We Buy · Texas · Live Oak County

Sell your Live Oak County mineral rights.

George West, Three Rivers, Whitsett: we buy minerals and royalties throughout Live Oak County, in the Eagle Ford condensate window around Three Rivers.

Live Oak County is condensate country: the Eagle Ford under George West and Three Rivers makes more gas and condensate than oil, and the wells are among the longest in South Texas. Burlington Resources, which is ConocoPhillips, has permitted more than half the county's new wells this year, and the Austin Chalk is being drilled as a second zone on leases that were signed for the Eagle Ford.

What produces here. Railroad Commission production for August 2026: 1,022,486 barrels of oil, 639,981 barrels of condensate, and about 14.0 million Mcf of gas (3.01 million casinghead, 11.02 million gas well), from Eagleville (Eagle Ford-2), Sugarkane (Eagle Ford), Sugarkane (Austin Chalk), and Sinor Nest (Lower Wilcox). The operators you will see on checks and in the county records include Burlington Resources (ConocoPhillips, the largest by a wide margin), Verdun Oil and Gas, Marathon Oil EF (ConocoPhillips since November 2024), Caturus Energy, Mueller Exploration, SilverBow (Crescent Energy), Silver Hill Energy, and Merit Energy. The Commission approved 57 new drilling permits in 2026 through November 7, 48 of them horizontal: Burlington 34, then Caturus, Marathon, Aurora Resources, and Silver Hill, with Caturus's Three Rivers Unit A wells and Marathon's Whitsett-Taylor-Mass wells approved in October.

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.

Questions

Straight answers for Live Oak County owners

What are mineral rights worth in Live Oak County?
It depends on whether your tract is in a Burlington, Marathon or Caturus unit, whether the Austin Chalk above the Eagle Ford has been drilled yet, and your decimal. Live Oak County wells are long and productive, and an undrilled chalk bench under a producing lease is real value that a quick offer will not mention. We value off the actual wells and permits and show the work, free.
A deed in my chain reserved half the minerals. Do I own what I think I own?
Maybe not, and that is a Texas-specific trap. Under the Duhig rule, a grantor who reserves minerals but warrants more than they actually hold loses the reservation to the extent of the shortfall. Old reservations are routinely overstated for this reason, and we read the deeds before we quote a number so the offer matches what you can actually convey.
How soon should my first royalty check arrive on a new Texas well?
Under Natural Resources Code 91.402, the first payment is due within 120 days after the end of the month of first sale. If a well near you came on months ago and nothing has arrived, that is usually a title or division order problem rather than a lost check, and we will help you track it down whether or not you sell.
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.
