Sell Your Mineral Rights in Roosevelt County, NM
You own mineral rights in Roosevelt County, New Mexico — part of the broader Permian Basin, though activity here is more measured than in the basin's hottest cores to the west. With 33 producing wells and a mix of smaller independent operators working the area, this is a speculative-to-moderate market, and knowing what your rights are realistically worth before anyone makes you an offer is the smartest move you can make.

What You Actually Have in Roosevelt County
Roosevelt County sits on the eastern edge of the Permian Basin, with Portales as the county seat and a relatively modest footprint of 33 producing wells compared to the busier counties further west. The cumulative oil production on record here is 11,100 barrels and 28,500 MCF of gas — numbers that tell you this isn't a Midland or Lea County situation, but there is genuine activity and real operators working the ground. Companies like Riley Permian Operating Company and Armstrong Energy Corp are among those with a presence here, which tells you serious players see something worth pursuing. Before you respond to any offer or make any decisions, it's worth understanding where your specific acreage sits relative to that activity — because location within the county matters a lot.

What's in the Ground
Yeso Formation
A Permian-age carbonate and evaporite sequence that has been a target for oil production across eastern New Mexico. Results vary by location, but it's among the primary targets for operators working Roosevelt County.
Glorieta Sandstone
A shallower Permian-age sandstone reservoir that has produced oil in parts of eastern New Mexico. Not a high-pressure unconventional play, but a legitimate conventional target that some operators in the area have pursued.
Permian-Age Carbonates (General)
Roosevelt County's geology reflects the eastern Permian shelf, where stacked carbonate intervals can hold oil. The specifics of what any given tract overlies depends heavily on location, and that's exactly the kind of detail worth nailing down before you sell.
