Where We Buy · North Dakota · Renville County ## Sell your Renville County mineral rights. Mohall, Sherwood, Tolley: shallow Madison and Spearfish stripper production in one of the quietest producing counties in North Dakota, and one of the least understood. [Get a Free Valuation](https://www.berlinroyalties.com/free-valuation/) or call or text [918-984-1645](tel:9189841645) Renville County is among the quietest producing counties in North Dakota, and that is exactly why it is worth having a straight page about it. There is no Bakken here. Production is shallow Madison Group and Spearfish at the Glenburn, Wiley, and Mouse River Park fields, peaking in 1962 and declining gently ever since. About 162 wells produce out of roughly 1,500 drilled, and monthly output is around 33,000 barrels of oil with essentially no associated gas. Only nine or ten operators still produce here, including Murex, Cobra, Eagle Operating, Berenergy, and Empire North Dakota. There are no rigs and no permits. We will tell you that instead of implying development is coming. Two things drive value. First, waterflood unitization means your share is often governed by a tract participation factor rather than by net mineral acres, and the unit agreement is the operative document. Second, Upper Souris National Wildlife Refuge and Lake Darling create federal surface over severed minerals, and the reservoir footprint crossing section lines is a recurring title issue in this county. We buy small interests here with no minimum and pay all closing costs. Send a stub or a name and a township and we will tell you what you have.

[Read the North Dakota guide](https://www.berlinroyalties.com/guide/north-dakota/) Questions ## Straight answers for Renville County owners Is Renville County worth anything if there is no drilling? Yes, though less than a county with development upside, and we will price it honestly. About 162 wells produce out of roughly 1,500 drilled, monthly output runs around 33,000 barrels with almost no associated gas, and there are no rigs and no permits. The value is a long, shallow, predictable decline. That is a real asset with a real number attached, just not a lottery ticket. My royalty comes from a unit. How does that change things? It changes the arithmetic entirely. Much of Renville County production runs through waterflood units where a tract participation factor in the unit agreement, not your net mineral acres, determines your share. Anyone valuing your interest without reading that agreement is guessing. We read it and show you the result. There is a lake and a refuge near my minerals. Does that complicate anything? It can. Upper Souris National Wildlife Refuge and Lake Darling create federal surface with severed and reserved minerals underneath, and the reservoir footprint crosses section lines in ways that recur as a title complication. It is a solvable problem and we deal with it regularly, but it is worth knowing before you assume your title is simple. ## Before you sign anything in Renville County The things owners here most often wish they had read first.
