What You Should Know If You Own Mineral Rights in Major County

Major County is a gas-heavy county in the Anadarko Basin, and it's been producing for a long time — the kind of place where families have held mineral rights for generations without ever really knowing what they have. The basin here is mature, which means you're unlikely to see the frenzied new-well activity of the Permian, but existing production is real and operators are still active. If you've received an offer recently, that's a sign someone sees value in your acreage — and it's worth understanding whether that offer reflects what the market would actually pay. Gas prices and royalty income here can be steady, but per-acre values tend to be more modest than oil-dominant basins, so going in with realistic expectations is important.

What's in the Ground

Woodford Shale

Anadarko Basin

The Woodford is a key gas-producing shale formation across the Anadarko Basin. It's a primary target for operators looking at deeper, unconventional development in this part of Oklahoma. Production is predominantly natural gas.

Hunton

Anadarko Basin

The Hunton limestone is a conventional carbonate formation that has produced oil and gas across the Anadarko Basin for decades. It's one of the longer-lived producing intervals in counties like Major, where shallow conventional wells remain part of the production mix.

Springer

Anadarko Basin

The Springer formation is a deeper sandstone target in the Anadarko Basin known for natural gas production. It represents one of the tighter, more technically demanding intervals that some operators pursue in this region.

Questions We Hear From Major County Owners

I got an unsolicited offer for my mineral rights near Fairview. Should I take it?
Not without checking it first. Unsolicited offers are typically made below market value — operators and mineral buyers are looking for deals, not paying top dollar on the first call. The fact that someone reached out means your acreage has value. Get a second opinion before you sign anything. We'll tell you honestly whether the offer is in the right ballpark.
My rights produce mostly gas. Does that hurt the value compared to oil counties?
It does affect value somewhat — oil-weighted acreage tends to command higher per-acre prices right now because oil markets have been stronger and more predictable. But gas production in the Anadarko Basin is real and established, and there are active buyers for Major County acreage. The key is understanding how much production is tied to your specific interest and whether the wells on your land are still producing meaningfully. That's what drives your actual number.
Major County has 6,000 producing wells — why haven't I heard much about drilling activity here?
Because a lot of those wells are older, conventional producers that have been in the ground for decades. That's actually a feature of this county — it has long production history and proven reserves, even if it's not seeing the flashy new horizontal drilling campaigns you read about in the Permian or Midland Basin. Mature production can still generate reliable royalty income and still attracts buyers who value steady, established cash flow.
