Quick answer: We buy Haynesville royalties, legacy shallow-production interests, uncertain mineral servitudes, and inherited interests tied to an unopened succession. Send a legal description or royalty statement for a free tract-specific review.
We purchase interests throughout the parish as-is. You do not need a current appraisal or perfect file to ask for a review, and there is no obligation to accept an offer.
In Caddo Parish, the First Question Is Often Whether the Servitude Still Exists
Caddo Parish has more than a century of oil and gas history, from early shallow production to modern Haynesville development. That long record can make ownership valuable, but it also makes title more complicated than a recent deed alone may suggest.
A mineral servitude created decades ago may have prescribed after ten years of nonuse, or later qualifying operations may have interrupted prescription. Production does not always have to be on the surface tract itself: valid unit operations may matter for the portion included in a unit. The recorded instrument, unit boundaries, and dates need to be traced in order.
Some Caddo owners receive a small payment from an older shallow well and another payment from a Haynesville unit. Those interests may rest on different leases, formations, units, and decimals. We separate the revenue streams instead of treating every check as one asset.
Before making an offer, we trace enough of the conveyance and operating history to explain what we believe can be sold. If the records show that a claimed servitude may no longer exist, we say so rather than quoting a misleading price.
That history starts early. In 1911 Gulf Refining completed Ferry Lake No. 1 on Caddo Lake, producing about 450 barrels of oil a day from roughly 2,185 feet, and the Caddo Lake wells are often called America’s first true offshore drilling. The modern play began here too: Chesapeake drilled the first horizontal Haynesville well in Caddo Parish in 2007, and the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas lists Caddo among the parishes where the play’s production growth was concentrated.
What We Check Before Making an Offer
- The deed or reservation that created the servitude and the record for each later decade.
- Drilling, production, acknowledgment, or other events claimed to interrupt prescription.
- Whether the interest is a mineral servitude, mineral royalty, or lease royalty.
- Legacy shallow-well production and modern Haynesville units.
- Lease terms, unit acreage, production history, and your decimal interest.
- Caddo Parish Clerk of Court conveyance and succession records.
- Any usufruct, naked ownership, or unresolved heirship.
What to Send for a Free Review
Start with whatever ties your family to the land: an old act of sale, a reservation from decades ago, or the latest check from either a shallow well or a Haynesville unit. If you have succession papers, include them; we fill in the rest from the Caddo Parish Clerk of Court.
Caddo Parish, Louisiana Mineral Rights FAQs
Can I sell my oil and gas rights in Caddo Parish, Louisiana?
Yes. Whether you want to sell your oil rights, sell your gas rights, or sell your oil and gas rights together, in Caddo Parish they are all mineral rights, and we buy them for cash. That includes the full mineral estate, oil and gas reserved separately from other minerals, royalty interests, and fractional shares inherited from family. If your deed or lease covers only certain depths or formations, we value exactly what you own.
How much are my mineral rights worth in Caddo Parish?
It depends on which income streams you actually own, a legacy shallow royalty, a Haynesville unit decimal or both, and on whether your servitude is still alive. We value each piece separately and tell you plainly if the records suggest a claimed interest has prescribed.
Our family has had these minerals since the 1920s. Do we still have them?
Maybe, but the age of the reservation alone does not answer the question. Louisiana mineral servitudes are generally subject to ten years of nonuse. The creating instrument and every possible interruption must be traced through the parish and unit records.
Nobody ever drilled on our land. Does that mean the servitude prescribed?
Not automatically. Qualifying operations may interrupt prescription, and valid unit operations can affect the portion inside the unit even when the well is elsewhere. The unit boundary, dates, and statutory requirements must be checked.
We receive a small check from an old shallow well and another from a Haynesville well. Are they connected?
They may involve different formations, units, leases, and royalty decimals. We review each statement and the underlying records separately so the offer does not overlook or double-count an interest.
Are there commissions, closing costs, or hidden fees?
No. There is no broker commission, appraisal fee, title cost to you, or listing expense. We pay the Parish Clerk of Court recording fee and the cost of preparing the act of sale. The written offer is the amount paid to you, less any existing liens or unpaid taxes against the interest. If an unopened succession must be completed, your attorney may charge legal fees; we explain that issue before you spend anything.
