Grady County Production Update: 2026 Snapshot

Oklahoma Mineral Rights Grady County, OK

As we move into early 2026, Grady County continues to anchor the SCOOP and Cana Woodford activity. For those tracking the “health” of their holdings or monitoring recent pooling orders, here is a breakdown of the current landscape based on recent production and state reporting data.

By the Numbers: Grady County (Current Trends)

  • Production Ranking: Grady remains a powerhouse, consistently ranking #2 in Oklahoma for Natural Gas production and #3 for Crude Oil (trailing only Canadian and Kingfisher counties).

  • Monthly Output: Recent data indicates the county is producing approximately 884,000 BBLs of Oil and over 19.4M MCF of Gas per month.

  • Active Drilling: Rig counts in the Cana Woodford have stayed resilient. Reports from January 2026 show approximately 5 active rigs specifically within Grady County, reflecting continued focus on the Woodford and Springer shales.

  • Top Operators: The most active players in the county continue to be Continental Resources, Camino Natural Resources, and Ovintiv, followed closely by BCE-Mach and Citizen Energy.

Notable Property Performance We are seeing high-intensity development in specific units—such as those in the Alfalfa Farms, McNeff, and Rocksteady leases—which have cleared significant production thresholds. This level of horizontal drilling often leads to complex pooling, which frequently necessitates a review of title and record updates when interests have been passed down through generations.

If you don’t agree to pooling and get pooled anyway you have no follow on liability. It’s about liability

What are your thoughts on the “health” of Grady Section 29 & 30, both 6N-6W. Appreciate any comment.

Continental drilled the Parr 1-30-19XH back in 2918. Has been online since then with a very predictable decline curve-about 40% of the Expected Ultimate Recoverable (EUR) left. They have room for four or so more horizontal wells.

Continental drilled the Jack Swagger 0606 29-1WHRS in 2019. Has about 46% of its EUR left. They liked what they saw enough to drill the Leona Faye 2-20-29-32XHS into three sections. I do not see a completion for it yet.

Many of the sections nearby have four-five infill wells. Several possible reservoirs, so would say it is still healthy.

Thanks for your input. I have been offered $14k/nma for 30…..$7.5 for 29, your thoughts?

From what I could find about Leona Faye 2, it was going to perforate East of 20. Any info about perforations on pending 29 and 30?

I do not have any further information. In general, offers are for the proved and producing wells value for about 3-5 years with a discount rate. They do not take into account the future wells because they want the royalties from all wells.
