Hello All.
As I posted back in November (“I have recently inherited 12.7 net mineral acres (NMA) located in Section 23-4N-16E, Pittsburg County. It is currently not producing.”), I am now wondering what happens when, apparently, non-producing acreage is declared “worthless”? Is there basically a zero chance this acreage will ever be worth anything again? Should I just donate this to a local church out there or just forget about it?
Absolutely keep it! Let it possibly benefit your heirs one day. I’m living proof of JUST THAT!
It’s a future investment for your family.
I would also say keep it. My brother and I are now receiving royalties from Coal County land originally purchased by our great-grandparents when coal was no longer being mined there. It wasn’t until our generation that technology developed to get out natural gas economically. Until about 20 years ago it was “worthless.” You never know what may be found or retrievable in the future.
Keep it. I started getting royalties from land my great-grandfather had in West Virginia that got passed down to me.
It doesn’t cost you anything to keep it!
One can’t say whether there will be drilling in the future. But, in Oklahoma, an owner doesn’t pay ad valorem or property tax on nonproducing minerals. So, no cost. The only potential cost is in the future if an owner doesn’t take some effort to avoid a probate.
There is a new horizontal play developing in parts of Pittsburg county, so hanging on for a while may be beneficial.
Where in Pittsburg County? Any noteworthy wells to keep an eye on?
I have properties in:
Section 15, Township 5N, Range 12E
Section 22, Township 5N, Range 12E
Section 17, Township 7N, Range 15E
Absolutely would love to know this as well. Glad to hear there is some sort of activity in the area tho.
All my properties are HBD, but always curious to see new things happening in areas nearby and at new depths.
New horizontal permits are in:
4N-12E, sections 5&8 (2 wells)
3N-14E sections 4&9
7N-13E sections 6&7, 8&5 (4 wells), 16&9&S2 of 4 (multiple)
7N-14E sections 19&18&7or 8 (3 wells), sections 19 & 30 & 31 (2 wells), sections 29&32 and 28 & 33.
These may change, but interesting! Calyx, Sanguine, Santa Fe. Looks like about 18-20 right now.
These have been producing for the past two-plus decades in Pittsburgh County.

Hello,
I am looking for some information or updates regarding the current activity and operator status for two specific areas in Pittsburg County, Oklahoma:
Section 28-07N-16E
Section 32-04N-15E
I own 16 undivided mineral acres in each of these sections. Despite the ownership, I am currently not receiving any royalty payments for either location.
I am hoping a knowledgeable member can help me understand:
Are there any active producing wells or recent pooling orders for these sections?
Who are the current operators of record for these areas?
Are there any known issues with suspended payments or “shut-in” wells in these townships?
Any insight or guidance on who I should contact to verify the status of these interests would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time and help!
Answered in your other post.
Not all of Pittsburg is useless. There is an uptick in horizontal drilling in some areas.
I recently signed a lease for my interest in Sec. 13-03N-13E in Pittsburg County.
