Offer to buy in Eddy Cty NM

Yesterday an offer letter came for some interests we have in Eddy cty. Section 34 Township 18S Range 25E. 2k an acre on 80 acres. Is this a good offer? Are they drilling alot out that way? Any input will help.

Cant comment on quality of offer in this area, but Silverback Operating did permit 6 horizontal wells across Section 35 (to the east) and halfway across Section 34 in Dec. 2023 and Feb. 2024. Section 36 (to the east of 35) is drilled up (Spur Energy - Pinto Wells

Id say that is probably a little bit low (of an offer), but its real binary. If wells get drilled there, capital IF, then its worth a lot more than $2k/acre. If they don’t, it’s worth a whole lot less.

From where I sit, there are a lot of viable Yeso wells to be drilled all along the trend, which is good…but there is one rig drilling it. So one rig on 100,000 acres = a long long time until you can feel good about your particular 640 acres.
