Sell Mineral Rights in McCamey, TX

McCamey has been an oil town since the 1920s, and the wells around it are still working. If you inherited a slice of that ground, here's what your interest is actually worth.

McCamey once called itself the Grand Central Station of the West Texas oil fields, and the old Permian production out here set the pattern that Spraberry and Wolfcamp drilling has followed ever since. Upton County sits on the western shoulder of the Midland Basin, close enough to the deeper, higher-pressure rock that operators still lease and drill around town, but far enough out that per-acre numbers run softer than they do closer to Midland proper.

Most of the mineral interests we see out of McCamey trace back three or four generations, split among cousins who've never met and probably don't agree on whether to sell. That's normal. We buy fractional interests of any size, verify what you actually own against the Upton County clerk's records, and pay cash without asking you to round up the whole family first.

What's producing around McCamey

The area has multiple pay zones stacked under it, and legacy vertical wells from decades back share sections with newer horizontal Wolfcamp and Spraberry laterals. That mix matters for valuation because an old marginal well throws off a small, steady royalty check, while a unit with an active horizontal lateral can produce a real payment for a few years before the decline curve bites.

Upton County isn't the hottest county in the Midland Basin right now, but it's not dormant either. Permitting activity moves west and east in waves depending on commodity prices, and McCamey acreage tends to get picked up in those wider development pushes rather than sitting at the center of them.

Why heirs end up owning slivers out here

A lot of West Texas ranch families held onto minerals when they sold the surface decades ago, and those mineral estates have been dividing every generation since. By the time it reaches you, a quarter section that started with one owner might have thirty, each holding a fraction most title companies would call de minimis. That doesn't mean it's worthless. It means the payout is scaled to your actual percentage, and we'll show you the math before you sign anything.

If you're not sure whether you own minerals, working interest, or just a royalty carve-out, that confusion is common with McCamey-area estates. We read the deed and the division order together so you know exactly what you're selling.

How we handle a McCamey offer

We pull the Upton County records, cross-check any existing lease or division order, and put a number in front of you that's tied to what the acreage is doing today, not what a wildcatter hopes it might do someday. No pressure to answer by Friday, no games about an offer that mysteriously drops if you take a week to think it over.
