Basin guides
Every basin prices minerals its own way. These guides cover what moves value in each one — and what that means when you sell.
Permian Basin
The Permian of West Texas and southeast New Mexico is the most active oil basin in the western hemisphere — stacked pay across the Midland and Delaware sub-basins, decades of drilling inventory, and the deepest pool of mineral buyers anywhere.
Eagle Ford Shale
The Eagle Ford arcs across South Texas from the border counties to the east of San Antonio — an oil and condensate powerhouse that matured early, refractured often, and still draws steady development from well-capitalized operators.
Bakken / Three Forks
The Bakken and Three Forks of the Williston Basin made North Dakota and eastern Montana one of the great American oil stories — and made tens of thousands of families, many of them out-of-state heirs, mineral owners.
Haynesville Shale
The Haynesville of East Texas and northwest Louisiana is one of the premier natural-gas plays in North America — deep, prolific, and tied directly to Gulf Coast LNG demand.
SCOOP / STACK
The SCOOP and STACK plays of central Oklahoma layer modern horizontal development over a century of conventional production — a basin where forced pooling, dense unitization, and active operators keep mineral values moving.
Powder River Basin
The Powder River Basin of northeast Wyoming and southeast Montana pairs legacy conventional and coal-country history with a quieter modern story: horizontal oil development that has steadily expanded across Converse, Campbell, and neighboring counties.
