What Mineral Rights in Gregg County Look Like Right Now
Gregg County sits in the East Texas Basin, centered around Longview, and it produces both oil and gas — a combination that gives your mineral rights broader appeal than single-commodity acreage. With more than 3,000 producing wells on record and a roster of experienced local operators still active here, this isn't a speculative county; it has a real production history behind it. That said, the East Texas Basin isn't the Permian — values per acre reflect a mature, steady market rather than a red-hot development frenzy. Before you respond to any offer or make any decision, it's worth getting an honest read on what your specific acreage is worth based on its location, the formations beneath it, and who's active nearby.

What's in the Ground
Cotton Valley
The Cotton Valley is one of the most well-known producing formations in East Texas, targeting tight sandstone reservoirs with meaningful natural gas potential. It has been a workhorse formation for operators across Gregg County for many years.
Haynesville
The Haynesville Shale extends into East Texas and produces natural gas from deep shale intervals. Where it is productive, it tends to generate strong per-well output, which is why operators pursue it aggressively in favorable areas of the basin.
Travis Peak
The Travis Peak is a shallower sandstone formation that has historically produced both oil and gas across East Texas. It represents a more conventional target and has been developed by many of the smaller independent operators active in Gregg County.
