Sell Your Mineral Rights in Borden County County, TX

What's Happening With Mineral Rights in Borden County Right Now
Borden County sits in the Permian Basin, which is still the most active oil-producing region in the United States — but not every county inside the Permian sees the same level of drilling. Borden is less densely developed than neighbors like Midland or Martin County, but there is legitimate production here, primarily from Spraberry and Wolfcamp formations. If you've received an offer from an operator or a mineral buyer, that's actually a good sign — it means someone has looked at your acreage and thinks it has value. Before you accept anything or walk away, it's worth knowing what the going rate looks like and whether your specific location is in a more active area.

PrivateWhat's in the Ground
Spraberry
The Spraberry is one of the most consistently productive formations in West Texas. It's a tight sandstone and siltstone formation that has been producing oil in the Permian for decades. In Borden County it's present but development is more scattered than in the core of the Midland Basin.
Wolfcamp
The Wolfcamp shale is the main target for modern horizontal drilling across the Permian. It holds enormous oil in place and has become the focus of most new drilling activity in the basin. Borden County sits on the northeastern fringe of the Wolfcamp's best development area, so production potential here is real but more variable than in Midland or Upton counties.
Dean
The Dean Sand is a shallower, conventional target found in the northern Midland Basin. It has historically produced oil through vertical wells and continues to contribute to production in Borden County. It's not the flashiest formation in the Permian, but it's proven and it's here.
