Where We Buy · Texas · Sterling County

Sell your Sterling County mineral rights.

Sterling City, Broome, and the ranches along the North Concho: we buy minerals and royalties throughout Sterling County, quiet acreage on the southeast edge of the Spraberry.

Sterling County is a quiet one, and this page will not dress it up. The Spraberry Trend touches the county's western side, the Conger field makes Pennsylvanian gas, and a few operators keep old Wolfcamp and Strawn wells pumping, but the rig count that lights up Reagan and Glasscock counties mostly stops at the line. What Sterling has is ranch families holding undivided minerals under big tracts, and the question for them is usually whether to wait for drilling that may or may not come.

What produces here. Conger (Penn) gas, Garden City South (Wolfcamp) oil, and the southeastern fringe of the Spraberry Trend Area, with Credo, Jameson (Strawn), and McEntire (Fusselman) behind them. Railroad Commission production for July 2026: 23,382 barrels of oil plus 2,437 barrels of condensate and 366,322 Mcf of gas, which is small for a Permian county. The operators you will see on checks and in the county records include Burk Royalty, Owl Ops, P1 Energy, Moriah Operating, Atropos Production, and Trek Resources. Drilling is nearly idle: the Commission approved two new-drill permits here in 2026 through early November, both IKE Operating horizontals.

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 Sterling County owners

What are mineral rights worth in Sterling County?
Honestly, less than it would be one county west. Sterling County sits on the Spraberry's southeast fringe, production is small, and 2026 brought only two new-drill permits. Value here is mostly in the existing Conger gas and Wolfcamp wells and in what a buyer thinks the undrilled acreage might be worth someday. We will tell you which of those you own and value it with the work shown, free.
Nothing has been drilled on our land in decades. Do we still own the minerals?
Yes. Texas has no dormant mineral act, so a severed mineral interest does not revert to the surface owner no matter how long it sits idle, and nobody has to file anything to keep it alive. What idle acreage is worth depends on whether anyone is permitting nearby, and we will tell you plainly if nobody is.
Can an operator force pool my Texas minerals?
Not the way Oklahoma owners get pooled. Texas has no general compulsory pooling statute; the Mineral Interest Pooling Act is narrow and rarely used. Operators pool by lease clause or by written agreement, so the pooling language in your lease, not a state order, decides whether a horizontal well on the neighbor's tract pays you anything.
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.
