Decatur, Bridgeport, Boyd: nearly 5,000 producing wells, the largest Barnett count of any county, and a re-completion program running through the middle of it.
Wise County is the core of the Barnett by well count. Roughly 4,988 wells are currently producing here and BKV Corporation operates about 3,000 of them, with EagleRidge, Scout, and a long tail of small operators behind. Thirty one permits have been approved in the last 90 days. The practical consequence for an owner is fragmentation: a single family interest here often generates several small checks from different payors who have no idea the others exist.
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 units rather than off a county average, 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.
Well, rig and permit counts are sourced from Enverus and current as of August 2026. See our Barnett Shale page for how the play as a whole is valued.
Wise County has more producing Barnett wells than any other county, close to 5,000, and BKV alone operates roughly 3,000 of them.
The conventional gas that was produced here for fifty years before anyone drilled a horizontal well, and that still pays on many old tracts.
Wherever your tract sits in Wise County, we will research it free and value it with the work shown.
Free, no obligation, and no pressure. We reply within one business day, usually faster.
