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 Fallon County — common for tracts under leases held by major operators with carried-out royalty structures.
Yes. Fallon 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 Red River and Bakken formations.
The most active operators we track in Fallon County include Denbury Resources, Continental Resources. We regularly buy interests held under leases with these operators.
Fallon County sits in the Williston Basin, where the primary target is red river / bakken. Here we underwrite the Red River and Bakken formations.
Yes. Fallon County is on our active buy list. We respond to offer requests within 48 hours and underwrite both producing and non-producing tracts.
Fallon County is in southeastern Montana, primarily a Cedar Creek Anticline / Red River conventional play with some Bakken on the northern edge. Production is dominated by long-life conventional wells with shallow decline curves. New-drill activity is limited; mineral value comes mostly from existing PDP cash flow rather than horizontal redevelopment expectations.
Probably yes. Most Fallon County leases are held-by-production from older Red River or Bakken wells and remain in force as long as those wells continue producing in paying quantities. The lack of new development does not terminate the lease. You can still sell the mineral interest while the lease remains active — the buyer steps into your seat for royalty payments.
Montana accepts standard probate and affidavit-of-heirship paths for mineral transfers. Many Fallon County interests are in long-divided family ownership; we routinely close transactions where the most recent probate is several decades old. Curative title work (heirship affidavits, missing assignments, deed corrections) is handled at our cost as part of closing.
Closings on Fallon 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.
Fallon County sits in the Williston Basin, where operators are targeting red river / bakken. Activity is led by names like Denbury Resources, Continental Resources, and new drilling continues to shape the play across the Red River and Bakken formations.
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.
Fallon 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.
