Where We Buy · Texas · Upton County ## Sell your Upton County mineral rights. Midkiff, Rankin, McCamey: 14 rigs running and 99 permits approved in 90 days, on Wolfcamp and Spraberry benches stacked four deep under the same section. [Get a Free Valuation](https://www.berlinroyalties.com/free-valuation/) or call or text [918-984-1645](tel:9189841645) Upton County sits in the southern Midland Basin and it is one of the most actively drilled counties in Texas right now: 14 rigs and 99 permits approved in the last 90 days, third in the state behind Midland and Reeves. Roughly 6,662 wells produce out of about 21,600 drilled. The development is stacked. Wolfcamp A, Wolfcamp B upper and lower, and Lower Spraberry are being drilled as separate benches from the same pads, and that is the whole valuation story here. An interest with one producing well may support four or five more, and a number derived from your current royalty check counts none of them. When we underwrite an Upton County interest, remaining locations by bench, with the probability we applied and why, is an explicit line in what we send you. We will also tell you where we think a bench is speculative rather than counting it at full value. Exxon, ConocoPhillips, Diamondback, and Scout Energy Partners are the largest producing operators. Our [operator directory](https://www.berlinroyalties.com/operators/) has pages for each with current well counts and contact information. Two Texas specifics worth knowing. Legal descriptions run on abstracts and surveys rather than section, township and range. And Texas has no state income tax, so there is no state tax on your gain and nothing withheld at closing, which is a real advantage over [Colorado](https://www.berlinroyalties.com/colorado/) or [West Virginia](https://www.berlinroyalties.com/west-virginia/). Send a check stub or a legal description and we will run the wells, count the remaining locations, and show you the arithmetic. Free, no obligation. Drilling Activity · Updated 2026-08-17 ## What's happening in Upton County right now Active Rigs 14 Running for Exxon, ConocoPhillips, Diamondback Permits, Last 90 Days 99 Completions, Last 90 Days 0 New wells turned to sales in the county. County totals. Source: Enverus, as of 2026-08-17. Rigs are currently active; permits are those approved in the last 90 days; completions are wells reporting first production in the last 90 days, which lags by state. A zero does not mean nothing is happening, only that nothing was reported in that window. Activity like this is exactly what moves mineral value. If it is happening near you, find out what your interest is worth before you take anyone's offer. Formations & Plays ## What produces here ### Wolfcamp A The primary current target, and the bench most operators are drilling first. ### Wolfcamp B, upper and lower Two separately developed benches, which is exactly where an offer based on your current check goes wrong. ### Lower Spraberry Shallower and developed alongside the Wolfcamp from the same pads. ### Legacy vertical Roughly 21,600 wells drilled here across a century, with about 6,662 still producing.

Questions ## Straight answers for Upton County owners How much drilling is going on in Upton County? A great deal. Fourteen rigs were running and 99 permits were approved in the last 90 days, which puts Upton third in Texas for recent permitting behind only Midland and Reeves. Roughly 6,662 wells are producing out of about 21,600 drilled. Exxon, ConocoPhillips, Diamondback, and Scout Energy Partners are the largest producing operators. When activity is at that level, undrilled locations on your unit are the majority of what your interest is worth. Why do offers on my Upton County minerals vary so much? Because the Midland Basin is stacked and buyers count the stack differently. Wolfcamp A, Wolfcamp B upper, Wolfcamp B lower, and Lower Spraberry are all being drilled here as separate benches, so a tract with one producing well frequently supports several more. A buyer applying a multiple to your current royalty check assigns those a value of zero. Ask any buyer to show you their remaining location count by bench. If they cannot, they are pricing your check rather than your minerals. How is selling Texas minerals different from Oklahoma? Texas legal descriptions run on abstracts and surveys rather than section, township and range, so title work is done differently. Texas has no general forced pooling: the Mineral Interest Pooling Act is narrow and rarely used, which means your lease's pooling clause governs and an unleased owner usually cannot be compelled in but also usually gets nothing. Texas also has no state income tax, so there is no state tax on your gain and no withholding at closing. Free Valuation ## Find out what your Upton County minerals are worth.
