Mineral rights value · Permian Basin
What are mineral rights worth in Midland County?
Midland County sits in the heart of the Midland Basin, the eastern half of the Permian, and is the commercial center of West Texas oil and gas. It has been among the most heavily drilled areas in the country for more than a decade. Here is what actually drives value, and why one mailed offer is not the same as market value.
What drives value here
Production here comes mainly from the stacked Spraberry and Wolfcamp intervals, often developed together across multiple benches in a single section.
Value in Midland County is driven by which benches are developed under your acreage, the operator, and how much of your interest's production is already behind you on the decline curve.
Two forces pull on value constantly: commodity prices and the steep decline of modern wells. A sound valuation does not just look at last month’s revenue; it models how that revenue is likely to fall and what new drilling, if any, might add back. See the full breakdown.
Value factors
- Your net revenue interest (the decimal that sets your share)
- Producing vs non-producing, and remaining drilling potential
- Which Midland Basin benches are developed under your tract
- Operator quality and activity
- Where each well sits on its decline curve
- Current oil and gas prices
Midland County value questions
- What are mineral rights worth in Midland County, Texas?
- There is no single per-acre number. Value in Midland County is driven by which benches are developed under your acreage, the operator, and how much of your interest's production is already behind you on the decline curve. A credible valuation models your specific interest, its production history, and the decline curve rather than applying a flat rate.
- How do you value mineral rights in Midland County?
- We confirm your net revenue interest, review recent check or revenue detail, and apply production history and decline modeling for the Spraberry, Wolfcamp development under your acreage, alongside operator activity and current commodity prices.
- Is a mailed offer the same as market value?
- Not necessarily. A single unsolicited offer reflects one buyer's view on one day. A competitive process is how the market, rather than one letter, sets the price.

- Yes. There is no cost to start a conversation and no obligation. We can lay out what a sale of your Midland County interest might look like so you can decide with clear information.
