What is acreage going for in Pecos, TX.?

I have been approached by two interested buyers for my acreage in Pecos.

The land is in Section 72, Block 12.

I live out of state and have never seen the property.

Can someone inform me what is going on there?

I do not own the mineral rights. The land is highway frontage.

Thanks, Mary

Hello Jim,

I was offered 4,000 per acre.

Pecos County is in the Permian Basin where there is a large natural gas reserve… I would guess that is why they are offering.

The surface rights are probably what they want to set up operations to drill.

Hey Robert,

I am in Reeves County in Pecos.

The Permian Basin covers a piece of Reeves County in Pecos.

How would I find out what blocks of Reeves County in Pecos are in the Permian Basin?

All of Reeves County plus surrounding counties is within the Permian.

Open link below and scroll down to the map showing Permian Basin:

How would one find out if my land is part of the Alpine High area of the basin?

The Alpine High area is in the southern part of Reeves County in the area where it butts up against Jeff Davis County. Let me see if I can find a display that shows the areal extent of this play area.

I assume you have the details as to the location of your minerals? (Section, block, tract, etc.)

The yellow on the link below is the Alpine High area. If you google this term, you will find a lot of info.

Yes, I do.

Thanks so much for helping me. Mary

Rock_Man - I own some oil and gas mineral interests in Pecos County. I know the lot, block, and Section. Do you know how I could actually locate the tracts on the ground, or on a map?

I received the map from an oil company who was negotiating a lease agreement with myself.
