Palo Pinto, Mineral Wells, Graford: we buy minerals and royalties throughout Palo Pinto County, Marble Falls, Strawn, and the Barnett's western edge.
Palo Pinto County is the Barnett's western edge, which in practice means the Barnett mostly is not here: a few Newark East horizontals near the Parker County line and then Marble Falls, Bend conglomerate, and Strawn wells all the way to Possum Kingdom. About 150 operators share 2,700 barrels and 230,000 Mcf a month, which tells you the wells are small and the checks are smaller. Mineral Wells has the hotel; Palo Pinto has the courthouse and the deed records.
What produces here. Railroad Commission production for July 2026: 5,052 barrels of oil, 1,129 barrels of condensate, and about 260,000 Mcf of gas (28,000 casinghead, 232,000 gas well), with August partially reported at 2,694 barrels and 230,000 Mcf; 292 fields and 153 operators report. Mallory (Strawn), Palo Pinto County Regular, and KRS (Marble Falls) lead the oil; Newark East (Barnett Shale), Burns-Dalton (Marble Falls), Palo Pinto County Regular (Gas), Scatter (Bend), and KRS (Marble Falls) lead the gas. The operators you will see on checks and in the county records include Texxol Operating, Stephens and Johnson Operating, Incendium Resources, EagleRidge Operating (the Barnett wells), Upham Oil and Gas, FX Energy Operating, Braka Operating, Antle Operating, and Tarpon Oil and Gas. New drilling has all but stopped: the Commission approved a single new permit in 2026 through November 7, G and F Oil's Coffee Group K.L. Bridges 9 at 1,800 feet.
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.
KRS, Burns-Dalton and Strawn Northwest (Marble Falls) and Scatter (Bend): the shallow gas that makes most of the county's volume, from hundreds of small vertical wells.
Mallory (Strawn), Wagnon (Strawn Granny Sand), and the Palo Pinto County Regular field: small stripper oil fields that have paid tiny royalties for decades.
The far western edge of the Barnett, a handful of horizontal gas wells that never grew into the play Fort Worth got.
