Where We Buy · Texas · Gaines County ## Sell your Gaines County mineral rights. Seminole, Seagraves, Loop: 66 permits in 90 days over the Central Basin Platform, where waterflood units and unit participation factors decide what your interest actually pays. [Get a Free Valuation](https://www.berlinroyalties.com/free-valuation/) or call or text [918-984-1645](tel:9189841645) Gaines County is Central Basin Platform country: roughly 18,921 wells drilled, about 5,616 producing, with 66 permits approved in the last 90 days and two rigs running. Occidental, Hilcorp, Mach Natural Resources, and Crescent Energy are the largest producing operators. The thing that decides value here is unitization. Much of the platform development runs through secondary and tertiary recovery units, waterfloods and CO2 floods, and inside a unit your share flows through a tract participation factor set by the unit agreement rather than through your net mineral acres. Two owners with identical acreage inside and outside a unit boundary can receive very different revenue. So the unit agreement is the operative document on a Gaines County interest, and any buyer quoting you a number without reading it is estimating rather than valuing. We read it and show you the arithmetic. This is more a long, stable production tail than a drilling story, and we price it as one rather than attaching a development premium that the permit count does not support. That is a legitimate asset with a real number behind it. Texas has no state income tax, so there is no state tax on your gain and nothing withheld at closing, and Texas legal descriptions run on abstracts and surveys rather than section, township and range. Send a division order, a check stub, or a survey and abstract, and we will tell you which unit you are in and what your participation factor is doing.

Because much of the Central Basin Platform here is developed through secondary and tertiary recovery units, including waterfloods and CO2 floods. Inside a unit your revenue is governed by a tract participation factor written into the unit agreement rather than by your raw net mineral acres. That is the single most important document on a Gaines County interest, and a valuation that skips it is guessing. We read it and show you how it works out. Is Gaines County still being drilled? Yes, at a moderate pace. Sixty-six permits were approved in the last 90 days with two rigs running, and roughly 5,616 wells produce out of about 18,921 drilled. Occidental, Hilcorp, Mach Natural Resources, and Crescent Energy are the largest producing operators. Value here leans toward the long, stable production tail more than toward undrilled inventory, and we price it that way. Will I owe Texas tax when I sell? No. Texas has no state individual income tax, so there is no Texas tax on your capital gain and no withholding at closing. Along with Wyoming, Texas is the cleanest state in the country for an out of state mineral seller. You will still owe federal capital gains tax and possibly tax in your home state. ## Before you sign anything in Gaines County The things owners here most often wish they had read first.
