Where We Buy · Texas · Wichita County

Sell your Wichita County mineral rights.

Wichita Falls, Burkburnett, Electra, Iowa Park: we buy minerals and royalties throughout Wichita County, the shallow oil of the 1911 Electra and 1918 Burkburnett booms.

Wichita County is Electra in 1911 and Burkburnett in 1918, the boom that put 56 rigs inside one town's limits in three weeks and gave Hollywood a movie. The wells that boom left behind are shallow, on pump, and still going; the Railroad Commission folded the old fields into Wichita County Regular decades ago and calls them late-stage depletion, which is accurate. Ownership here is as finely divided as anywhere in Texas. Town lots were leased separately in 1918, and the heirs of those lot owners are our callers now.

What produces here. K-M-A, which made 33,323 of the county's 73,365 barrels in August 2026, Wichita County Regular at 24,866, Wichita County (Special), Ancell (KMA Lime), Cash (Strawn), and the Waggoner South Electra and Burkburnett (Gunsight Sand) pools. Railroad Commission production for July 2026: 79,969 barrels of oil and 15,534 Mcf of casinghead gas, with no gas-well gas. The operators you will see on checks and in the county records include R2Q Operating, Waggoner Operating, Stephens and Johnson Operating, Quatro Oil and Gas, Newport Operating, Rusk Production, and Swanner Properties. Drilling is shallow and light: 16 new-drill permits approved between January and early November 2026, all vertical, led by R2Q with five and Newport with four.

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 Wichita County owners

What are mineral rights worth in Wichita County?
Wichita County interests are the oldest legacy stripper royalties in Texas, and most of them are tiny: a fraction of a town-lot lease in Burkburnett or a Waggoner lease at Electra that has been split among heirs since the First World War. They are worth the remaining tail of shallow wells on slow declines, which is a small number, but a real one, and we will compute it and show you, free.
A deed in my chain reserved half the minerals. Why does that matter?
Because of the Duhig rule. When a grantor reserves minerals in a deed but does not own enough to cover both the reservation and what the deed purports to convey, Texas courts make the grantor's reservation absorb the shortfall. West Texas and North Texas chains are full of these from the 1920s through the 1950s, and they decide how much you actually own, which is why we run title before we quote a number.
What happens to royalties the operator could not deliver?
Texas operators turn unclaimed mineral proceeds over to the state after three years, and the money sits at ClaimItTexas until an owner or heir claims it. Checking the state's unclaimed property records is part of our free research, and if we find money in your family's name we tell you how to claim it whether or not you sell to us.
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.
