Sell Bakken / Three Forks mineral rights

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.

Selling minerals in the Bakken / Three Forks

Bakken interests are among the most heavily solicited in the country, and many owners inherited them from homestead-era family land. A high share of value now sits in well-understood producing streams — which makes honest decline analysis, rather than optimism or a mailbox number, the basis of a fair price.

Current activity: rig count and permit trend.

How much are Bakken mineral rights worth?

Producing Bakken royalties typically trade around 3–6 years of income adjusted for decline; older wells price below the midpoint, while units with infill or refrac activity carry additional value. Out-of-state heirs are the buyers’ favorite audience — competition is the counterweight.
