What are Major County mineral rights worth?
Major County, in northwest Oklahoma, is northern STACK and Mississippian acreage with Meramec, Osage, and Woodford production. Producing royalties are valued on the 36 to 72 times monthly royalty rule. Estimate, subject to verification.
Major County, around Fairview in northwest Oklahoma, sits on the northern edge of the STACK play and the Mississippian fairway. Operators target the Meramec, Osage, and Woodford, with horizontal development layered over a long history of conventional production. The county is part of the broader Sooner Trend, where stacked pay and active unitization split ownership into many small interests. For mineral owners a Major County royalty is often several modest checks across different units, and selling can consolidate them into a single payment while production is still strong.

Producing formations in Major County
The formations and pools that actually produce in Major County, from the well records:
Producing interests here are valued on the standard income multiple, roughly 36 to 72 times the average monthly royalty check. Stacked SCOOP and STACK pay can mean an owner is paid from more than one horizon under the same tract, which can lift the total even when each interest looks small. This is an estimate, subject to verification, not an offer.
How Major County minerals are valued
Producing interests anywhere are valued on a multiple of the income they pay: roughly 36 to 72 times your average monthly royalty check, the same as 3 to 6 times your annual royalty. Average your last three to six checks, then multiply. Where you land inside that band depends mostly on how fast your wells decline, plus the operator, royalty rate, and any undeveloped drilling upside.

Who buys mineral rights in Major County
Major County owners hear from brokers, marketplaces, and direct buyers. A broker lists your interest and takes a commission, usually up to 6 percent of your proceeds. Ironwood Royalty is a principal buyer, which means the offer comes from us and there is no commission in the middle. We show you a value range before we ask for anything, explain the undeveloped upside instead of quietly keeping it, and never use a 72-hour deadline to rush a decision on a generational asset.
How to sell Major County minerals
The order of operations is the same everywhere, and it protects you:
- Know your value range before you talk to any buyer.
- Ask every buyer to quote per net royalty acre so offers are truly comparable.
- Ask directly whether the offer accounts for undeveloped drilling upside.
- Confirm the price is firm and not subject to a quiet reduction during due diligence.
