Where We Buy · Texas · Marion County

Sell your Marion County mineral rights.

Jefferson, Pine Harbor, Lodi: we buy minerals and royalties throughout Marion County, Pettit and Travis Peak oil and gas on the Louisiana line.

Marion County is Jefferson, Caddo Lake, and a modest oilfield that has been paying small checks since the Pettit lime fields were found decades ago. The Haynesville and Cotton Valley gas that made Harrison and Panola counties rich mostly stops at the county line; what Marion gets is Travis Peak and Cotton Valley gas at Lassater and Woodlawn and a few new horizontal allocation wells a year. It is a quiet county with old title, which is where small inherited fractions pile up.

What produces here. Railroad Commission production for August 2026: 13,460 barrels of oil, 2,970 barrels of condensate, and about 47,000 Mcf of gas (7,000 casinghead, 40,000 gas well), from 60 fields and 49 operators. Lake Ferrell (Upper Pettit), Whelan (Pettit), and Lassater (Travis Peak, Gas) lead the oil; Lassater (Travis Peak, Gas), Woodlawn (Cotton Valley), and Lassater (Cotton Valley) carry the gas. The operators you will see on checks and in the county records include Rose City Resources (the largest oil producer), John Linder Operating (the largest gas producer), RFE Operating, EnerQuest, Faulconer Energy, Ark-La-Tex Energy, Three Point Energy, and Diversified Production. The Commission approved 4 new horizontal drilling permits in 2026 through November 7: RFE Operating's Trash Pandas and Commodores allocation wells at about 9,700 feet, approved September 4 and October 2, and Rose City Resources' Palmer 1H and Charlie 1H at 8,000 feet, approved September 1 and October 21.

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 Marion County owners

What are mineral rights worth in Marion County?
It depends on whether your tract is in one of the Pettit oil fields near Jefferson, a Travis Peak or Cotton Valley gas unit toward Lassater, or the timber and lake country that covers most of the county, and on your decimal. Marion County makes about 13,000 barrels and 47,000 Mcf a month in total, so most interests here are small, old, and priced off decline. We value off the actual wells and show the work, free.
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.
Does Texas have a dormant mineral act that can take unused minerals?
No. Texas has no dormant mineral statute, so an unleased, unproduced mineral interest stays in the family indefinitely. What does happen is that royalty money an operator cannot deliver goes to the Texas Comptroller as unclaimed property after three years, where it waits at ClaimItTexas. We check it for every owner we talk to.
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.
