Plains, Denver City, and everything between: we buy minerals and royalties throughout Yoakum County, home of the Wasson field and the Platang San Andres horizontals.
Yoakum County is where the San Andres never stopped paying. Wasson has been producing since 1936, Occidental's Denver Unit has been under CO2 flood for forty years, and a surprising number of the royalty checks going out of Denver City trace to leases signed before the Second World War. On top of that old money, Riley Permian has spent a decade proving that horizontal San Andres wells work on the Wasson system's flank, and the county now carries more new-drill permits than any other in this batch.
What produces here. Platang (San Andres), Wasson, Brahaney, Wasson 72, and the Clear Fork fields around Denver City. Railroad Commission production for July 2026: 2,009,778 barrels of oil and about 5.28 million Mcf of casinghead gas. In August 2026 Platang was the county's largest field at 981,831 barrels and Wasson was second at 823,836. The operators you will see on checks and in the county records include Occidental Permian, Riley Permian Operating, Burk Royalty, Ring Energy, Oxy USA WTP, Hilcorp Energy, and Texland Petroleum. Drilling is the busiest of any county on this list: 130 new-drill permits approved between January and early November 2026, 113 of them horizontal, led by Riley Permian with 59, Occidental Permian with 27, Texland with 12, Oxy USA WTP with 11, and Ring Energy with 10. Riley Permian told shareholders in its 2025 results that it sold its Texas properties outside Yoakum County to concentrate here.
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.
