Public-company tickers link to investor relations. Private operators are marked as such and do not carry a ticker.
We also buy overriding royalty interests (ORRIs) and non-participating royalty interests (NPRIs) in Harper County — common for tracts under leases held by major operators with carried-out royalty structures.
Yes. Harper County is on our active buy list. We buy mineral interests, royalty interests, NPRI, and ORRI on both producing and non-producing tracts targeting the Mississippian Lime formation.
The most active operators we track in Harper County include Traditions Oil & Gas, SandRidge Energy. We regularly buy interests held under leases with these operators.

Yes. Harper County is on our active buy list. We respond to offer requests within 48 hours and underwrite both producing and non-producing tracts.
Harper County is immediately east of Barber and shares much of the same Mississippian geology. The horizontal Mississippian boom touched Harper County heavily during 2012–2014. As with Barber, present-day value is dominated by PDP cash flow from the existing wellbase, with selective new-drill activity from operators holding by production. Per-acre values in the active townships generally track Barber County closely.
Two factors. First, Mississippian wells produce a mix of oil, gas, and saltwater; the saltwater handling cost shows up indirectly through the operator's netback. Second, Mid-Continent gas prices have been volatile, and gas-weighted Mississippian wells see check swings on price moves. Annualizing 12 months gives a much steadier picture of the interest's real cash-flow potential than any single month.
Yes. The Mississippian play has seen multiple ownership transfers as larger operators sold non-core packages to private and mid-cap buyers. Your underlying lease and royalty fraction do not change when the operator changes — the only difference is the payor name on the check. If you receive a new division order from a successor operator, sign and return promptly so payments do not pause.
Closings on Harper County mineral rights typically take 7 to 30 days from the date you accept our offer, depending on title complexity. We handle county-level title work, PSA drafting, mineral deed preparation, and notary coordination at our expense.
Just a tract description (abstract or survey, section/township/range, or a legal description from your deed) and any recent royalty check stubs if the interest is producing. You do not need to gather deeds or title opinions up front.
Harper County sits in the Mississippian Lime, where operators are targeting mississippian lime. Activity is led by names like Traditions Oil & Gas, SandRidge Energy, and new drilling continues to shape the play across the Mississippian Lime formation.
If you hold mineral rights, royalty interests, NPRI, or ORRI anywhere in the county, we'd like to put a written offer in front of you. Every offer we send is funded from our own balance sheet — there's no auction, no broker markup, and no third-party capital waiting to approve the deal.
Harper County is an active buying area for us. We're tracking several operators in the county and are prepared to make an offer on any producing or unleased interest.
Monthly production has held within a normal band over the last year, suggesting steady development without a recent completion wave.
