To Randy Bentley and all others: I too have received offers to buy 7 acres of non producing mineral property at $200 per acre. There has been no production on this property for the past 50 years. Why is it considered to be valuable at this time. Is there gold dust mixed in with the sand?

Not sure how much recent success, but there has been a fair amount of activity as Clint mentions. Enough so, that I’m getting unsolicited offers for sale of our mineral rights. Yes, SM is the former St. Marys.

Awesome Clint - thank you. Is it possible to see where they are in relation to our lease? Is there a way to map these?

Look for the well 38017 in the following GIS Map. This is the last approved permitted well on the list of 12.

Thanks again. I will start playing around with the viewer. Can you tell me what the color code means? Green, clear, etc.

Harold,
Gaines County is very active at this time. Several of the formations that are being targeted for production by the operators are Canyon, Seminole, Clearfork, San Andres, Wichita Albany, Sprayberry, Strawn, Atoka, and several others. Now would not be the time to even think about selling your minerals unless you are in desperate need for money. And then you could possibly sell a small percentage of your minerals.

Steve,
I can’t answer your question. Possibly one of the Gaines County members that have minerals there can help you with that question.

Thanks Clint - I am trying to get a bead on the permitting and drilling activity this week as this offer came across last week. I don’t have access to a lot of the databases that others have though. I would be interested to know what those selling minerals in the area are getting for their acreage. I might be interested in parting with some of my holdings.
As for lease prices, Steve, I signed a 3-year (2-year option) on our unit with SM last fall for $500 an acre and 25% royalty. I believe this is on par with most others in the area.

I just got a renewal for the lease for my 280 acres. The first lease period was for 3 years and got $400 an acre with 25% royalty with the option to extend the lease for 2 more years at the same price. The renewal was for the next two years as the first three years are just now up. I hope they drill and HIT oil BIG!!

Mike,
That # will be on your deed to the property and also on the property tax receipt that you would get each year from the Gaines County Tax office.
It will be like A-215 or Abstract # 2153 or similar

Not sure how active this group is, but I’ve just joined to see if anyone has been getting offers in Southeast Gaines County for their mineral rights and if so what they were offered. I have an offer for $1800 per acre but am wondering if that is low. I’m probably not going to sell, at least not all, but if there is someone out there offering over $2,000 I might be inclined to sell some of my interest. Anyway, look forward to having a few discussions and sharing some knowledge.

Thanks Harold. I just received offer for $400 and 22.5%, 3+2.
Has there been any drilling success down there?
SM stands for St. Marys?

I received an offer for 725 an acre, plus a “hedge” whatever that is. Why all the offers lately?
