Colorado City, Loraine, Westbrook: we buy minerals and royalties throughout Mitchell County, where the Permian Basin's first commercial oil came in.
Mitchell County is where the Permian Basin started, with the Westbrook discovery in 1920, and a century later the same field is still the biggest thing in the county. That is the whole story for most owners here: shallow, vertical, slow-declining oil on leases that have been divided among heirs for four generations, with checks that are small but that have not stopped. The horizontal boom mostly passed Mitchell by, though a few operators are now testing the Spraberry's eastern edge.
What produces here. Westbrook, which made 70,663 of the county's 123,614 barrels in August 2026, plus Iatan East Howard, Sharon Ridge (1700), Turner-Gregory (Clear Fork), Coleman Ranch, Purvis Ranch (Wolfcamp), and Iatan (San Andres). Railroad Commission production for July 2026: 273,229 barrels of oil and 336,844 Mcf of casinghead gas. The operators you will see on checks and in the county records include BCE-Mach III, Basa Resources, Grayrock Energy II, Reatta Energy, Schlachter Operating, Unitex Oil and Gas, and Americo Energy Resources. Drilling in 2026 is small but real: 22 new-drill permits approved through early November, including nine Bayswater Operating Spraberry Trend horizontals, seven Saguaro Petroleum wells, and a run of shallow verticals.
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.
