What You Should Know About Your Custer County Minerals
Custer County sits in the heart of the Anadarko Basin, which has been producing oil and gas for over a century and still has plenty of life in it. Drilling activity here is moderate — you're not going to see the frenzy of the Permian Basin, but operators are actively working the Woodford and other deep formations, and leasing activity has picked up in recent years as natural gas prices gave producers more incentive to move. If you've recently received an offer on your rights, it likely means someone sees value beneath your land — and it's worth understanding that value before you sign anything. The good news: this is a real market with real buyers, and your rights may be worth more than you'd expect.

PrivateWhat's in the Ground
Anadarko Woodford Shale
The Woodford is the primary target for modern horizontal drilling in Custer County. It sits deep — typically between 10,000 and 14,000 feet — and produces both natural gas and oil depending on where you are in the county. Operators have drilled multi-mile laterals here, which means a single well can cover a lot of ground. If your minerals sit near active Woodford development, that's a meaningful driver of value.
Granite Wash
The Granite Wash is a stacked series of tight sand formations that has been a significant producer of both oil and high-BTU natural gas in the western Anadarko Basin. It's known for strong initial production rates, though wells can decline relatively quickly. Activity here has been influenced heavily by natural gas and NGL pricing.
Red Fork / Springer
These shallower conventional formations have produced oil and gas in Custer County for decades. They're not the headline targets today, but existing production from these zones still generates royalty income for mineral owners across the county. If you have older wells on your acreage, they may be producing from one of these intervals.

What to Know About Custer County
Oklahoma's Marketable Title and Dormant Minerals Act
Oklahoma has a Dormant Mineral Act that allows surface owners to potentially claim ownership of mineral interests that haven't been used or claimed in 25 years. If you've inherited minerals that haven't been managed actively, it's worth verifying your title is clean before you try to sell or lease them.
Forced Pooling in Oklahoma
Oklahoma allows operators to force pool non-consenting mineral owners into a drilling unit. If you own minerals in Custer County and an operator petitions the Oklahoma Corporation Commission to pool your interest, you'll have options — but you need to respond before the deadline. Ignoring a pooling notice can cost you money and rights.
Oklahoma Gross Production Tax
Oklahoma levies a gross production tax on oil and gas extracted from the ground. For new wells, there's often a reduced rate for the first months of production. As a mineral owner receiving royalties, your income may be subject to Oklahoma income tax even if you live out of state — something to factor in if you're weighing a lump-sum sale against ongoing royalties.
