Fort Stockton, Iraan, Coyanosa: the largest county on our Texas list by area, spanning Delaware Basin, Val Verde, and a century of conventional production.
Pecos County is the largest county on our Texas list by area and the most internally varied. The eastern side catches Delaware Basin Wolfcamp and Bone Spring horizontal development. Elsewhere there is Val Verde section and an enormous legacy conventional base including the Yates and Iraan fields, with roughly 30,193 wells drilled and about 6,211 still producing.
That variety is why a county level number is useless here, and why an offer that does not name your survey and abstract is not a valuation. Two Pecos County interests forty miles apart can be entirely different assets.
Current activity is moderate: five rigs and 43 permits approved in the last 90 days, targeting Wolfcamp A upper, 2nd and 3rd Bone Spring, and Woodford. Kinder Morgan, Longfellow Energy, Shallow Production Operating, and Diamondback are among the largest producing operators, and that unusually varied list is itself a reflection of how different the parts of this county are.
Texas legal descriptions run on abstracts and surveys rather than section, township and range, which makes it genuinely harder for an owner to research their own interest than it is in Oklahoma. We do that research free. Send a check stub, an old division order, a 1099, a tax notice, or a family name and a survey, and we will run the Railroad Commission and county records and tell you what is there.
Texas has no state income tax, so there is no state tax on your gain and nothing withheld at closing.

Roughly 30,193 wells drilled with about 6,211 producing, spanning the Yates and Iraan fields and a century of shallow development.
