Berlin is based in Tulsa and has bought Oklahoma minerals and royalties since 2014. We know your county because we have run title in it.
Oklahoma minerals are what Berlin was built on. We are headquartered in Tulsa, our principal has run title and closed deals in a majority of Oklahoma's counties, and we hold what we buy for our own account.
That local depth is worth real money to you as a seller. Out-of-state buyers price Oklahoma with a spreadsheet and a discount for uncertainty. We know which operators are actually drilling, which units are filled out, and which quiet sections are about to get loud, so we can pay for value that a distant buyer cannot see. And because we show you the work behind our number, you can judge it for yourself.
Whether your interest is a producing royalty in the SCOOP, inherited fractions scattered across five counties, or unleased acreage nobody has called about in years, we will tell you what it is worth and why.
Selling mineral rights in Oklahoma comes down to three steps: confirm what you own, get a valuation built from current drilling around your acreage, and close with a buyer who handles the title work. A straightforward sale with clean title usually funds within a few weeks of a signed agreement. Here is each step without the mystery.
First, confirm what you own. A deed, a division order, or a royalty check stub is enough to start. If all you have is a box of papers from a probate, that is normal, and our paperwork review exists for exactly that. You do not need to untangle anything before calling.
Second, get a valuation priced off the rocks, not just the checks. Oklahoma value is driven by what operators are doing around you right now: permits filed, rigs running, units being formed. An offer priced as a simple multiple of last year's income assigns zero to the undrilled locations that are usually the reason someone wants to buy. Ask any buyer, including us, to show the activity behind their number. Ours comes with the reasoning attached, starting with a free valuation.
Third, close on paper you understand. A purchase and sale agreement, a mineral deed, and a settlement statement, with recording costs on us. If title needs curative work, we do it at our cost as part of the purchase. We are a direct buyer, so there are no fees or commissions on a sale to us.
The loudest story in the state right now is the Cherokee Shale on the western Anadarko shelf. SandRidge paid a reported $65 million for roughly 7,000 net acres in the play this spring, Mewbourne has been running five rigs with three frac crews, and GeoSouthern has been building a position in Custer County. The SCOOP and STACK remain the state's deepest markets, and consolidation there keeps well-positioned royalties in demand. If your minerals sit anywhere near this activity, the worst time to price them is off a royalty statement from before the rigs showed up.

Statewide totals for Oklahoma. Source: Enverus, as of 2026-10-02. Rigs are currently active; permits are those approved in the last 90 days; completions are wells reporting first production in the last 90 days, which lags reporting by state. Activity like this moves mineral value. If it is happening near you, find out what your interest is worth before you take anyone's offer.
The South Central Oklahoma Oil Province: Woodford and Springer wells in Garvin, Grady, McClain, Stephens, and Carter Counties. Some of the most valuable minerals in the state.
Stacked Meramec, Osage, and Woodford development across Kingfisher, Blaine, Canadian, and Dewey Counties, still active and still commanding real prices.
The Pennsylvanian Cherokee sands being drilled horizontally on the Anadarko shelf in Ellis, Roger Mills, and Custer Counties, with flanks in Beckham, Washita, Caddo, and Dewey. Mewbourne is the dominant operator, and the play gets almost no press for how active it is.
Granite Wash, Cleveland, Tonkawa, and deep Springer gas in Roger Mills, Custer, Beckham, Ellis, and Washita Counties. Deep, prolific, and one of our home territories.
Woodford shale gas and legacy Hartshorne production across Haskell, Pittsburg, Latimer, LeFlore, and Coal Counties in southeast Oklahoma.
The smaller southern basin along the Red River in Love and Marshall Counties, with Woodford potential and conventional history.
These are the counties where we are most active, but we buy in all 77. We review every inquiry, and legacy producing areas across the state are absolutely of interest.
