What's in the Ground
Spraberry
One of the most consistently productive formations in the Permian, the Spraberry has been a workhorse for oil production across West Texas for decades. It's a known quantity, which is part of why large operators stay active in counties like Yoakum.
Wolfcamp
The Wolfcamp shale is one of the most talked-about formations in American oil production. It holds significant reserves and has driven a lot of the modern horizontal drilling activity across the Permian. If operators are targeting your acreage, the Wolfcamp is likely part of the conversation.
Delaware
The Delaware Basin formation adds another productive target in the region. Multi-zone stacking — where operators can produce from multiple formations on the same lease — tends to increase what your rights are worth to a buyer.
