Martin County Is Some of the Most Contested Acreage in the Midland Basin
Martin County sits in the northern core of the Midland Basin, where the Spraberry and Wolfcamp stack up in a way that supports repeated development from the same surface location. It has been among the busiest counties in the Permian for years, running with a rig count in the high teens through 2026 even as activity shifted around it.
Stacked pay is the defining fact for a Martin County mineral owner. Because operators can return to the same section to develop a different bench, a tract that has already been drilled is not necessarily finished. It also means a single owner can hold several separate decimals in overlapping units drilled years apart, each governed by its own division order.
That layering is where valuation gets specific. The wells drilled in the first phase of development often decline substantially, while the remaining undeveloped benches carry most of the upside. Two tracts a mile apart, with identical acreage, can be worth very different amounts depending on how much of the section has already been drilled and what is left.
We review the completed wells, the remaining bench potential and the lease terms together before pricing an interest. A cash offer converts that mix of current income and uncertain future development into a single amount you control, with no obligation to accept.
What We Check on a Martin County Interest
- The deed or reservation creating the interest, and whether it is minerals or a non-participating royalty.
- Chain of title and probate history in the Martin County Clerk’s records at Stanton.
- Which benches of the Spraberry and Wolfcamp have already been developed under the tract.
- Each unit affecting the acreage, its wells, completion dates, production history and your decimal in each.
- Lease royalty, post-production deductions, retained-acreage and continuous-development clauses.
- Current Railroad Commission permits suggesting further development in the section.
Where Martin County Mineral Records Are Kept
The Martin County Clerk in Stanton maintains deeds, leases, assignments, probate filings and heirship affidavits. Permits, completions, well records and production data are held by the Railroad Commission of Texas. In a stacked-pay county, the Commission’s well records are usually what reveal how much of a section has actually been developed.
Martin County, Texas Mineral Rights FAQs
Our section already has wells on it. Is the interest used up?
Usually not. Martin County development is stacked, so an operator may drill one bench now and return years later for another. Existing wells tell you what has been produced, not what remains. We look at which benches are still undeveloped before pricing anything.
Why do we get several different checks for the same land?
Because you likely hold a decimal in more than one unit. Separate wells drilled at different depths or in different years create separate units and separate division orders, even over the same surface acreage. That is normal here rather than a sign of an error.
Our royalty dropped sharply after the first couple of years. Should we have expected that?
Yes. Horizontal Permian wells decline steeply early and then flatten into a long, lower-rate tail. A sharp drop after the initial period is the normal shape of these wells, not evidence that something went wrong.
Can one heir sell without the rest of the family?
Generally yes. Co-owners hold undivided shares and each can convey their own portion. We regularly buy a single heir’s fractional interest without requiring the others to participate.

Records and Sources We Use
We use deed, lease, probate and assignment records filed with the County Clerk, and permit, well, completion and production records from the Railroad Commission of Texas, including its public GIS map viewer.

Royalty proceeds unclaimed for more than three years are reported to the Texas Comptroller and searchable at ClaimItTexas.
