Sell Mineral Rights in McKinney Acres, TX

McKinney Acres sits in one of the longest-running oil counties in the Permian, and small fractional owners out here get overlooked by the bigger buyers. We don't overlook you.

Andrews County has been producing since the Fuhrman-Mascho field opened in the 1930s, and the ground around McKinney Acres has been drilled, redrilled, and drilled again through multiple booms. Today the county is squarely inside the Midland Basin's active Wolfcamp and Spraberry development, which means legacy vertical royalty owners in this stretch are increasingly getting picked up by new horizontal units.

The layered production history here

Because Andrews County has been worked for close to a century, ownership records around McKinney Acres are often messier than newer plays. Old spacing units, plugged-and-abandoned wellbores, and multiple lease amendments can all sit on top of the same tract. We do the digging to sort it out rather than asking you to.

Fractional interests are the norm, not the exception

Most calls we get from this part of the county are from people holding a small fraction of a larger unit, often inherited from a grandparent who ranched the surface decades ago. Small doesn't mean insignificant. We buy interests down to a fraction of a fraction and price them off current activity and recent royalty statements rather than dismissing anything under a certain size.

What we check before we make an offer

We pull Andrews County clerk records to confirm the chain of title, check for any existing producing wells or pending permits on your tract, and look at recent royalty checks if you have them. That's how we land on a number that reflects your actual acreage instead of a generic county-wide estimate.

What we pay attention to that mass buyers skip

A lot of outfits that mail flat offers to every Andrews County address never look past the tax roll. We check whether your tract sits inside an existing pooled unit, whether a permit has already been filed nearby, and whether any prior lease is still held by production. Those details move a number up or down more than the county name ever will.

If your family's deed references a fraction of a fraction, carved out of a larger estate two or three splits back, we'll trace that lineage rather than asking you to already have it figured out. Old Andrews County paperwork isn't always clean, and we're used to reading it.

Open the county file first

The review should identify the county clerk record, legal description, deed chain, reservations, lease, assignments, probate or trust records, unit documents, division orders, payor records, and recent statements that belong to the same tract. City names and surface addresses are useful search clues, but the recorded description controls the mineral schedule.

Match local drilling to the subject tract

Permits, completions, operator acreage, nearby laterals, unit boundaries, field rules, product mix, and basin activity in the surrounding county can supply context. The review should keep offset activity separate from wells and units that actually include the owner's acreage, because a nearby rig is not proof of present ownership or future development.

Compare the complete written offer

A local offer should be read beside the net mineral acres, paid decimal, producing status, depths, products, effective date, included receivables, title standard, curative obligations, permitted deductions, price adjustments, deed language, reservations, payment timing, and closing deadline. A headline price without that schedule is incomplete.

Route Texas-specific questions

Heirship, community property, probate, trust authority, dormant interests, executive rights, pooling, allocation, depth severances, lease interpretation, title defects, tax treatment, and recording procedure can change the sale route for a county tract. Those issues belong with qualified legal, tax, title, engineering, or appraisal professionals before the owner relies on a closing number.
