The Hartshorne shows up in state oil and gas commission well records as a producing formation or pool in 8 of the counties and parishes we cover, across the Anadarko Basin. Every county where it produces sits in the same basin, though well counts and operators differ county to county. Across those counties, state records show 12,402 active wells producing, with the heaviest activity in Pittsburg County, Hughes County, Haskell County. This page is built from the same public well-record data as our county pages, not a USGS geologic assessment, so it does not carry a play-wide resource estimate the way our larger flagship formation pages do.
Counties in the Hartshorne play
These are the counties and parishes we cover where state commission records show the Hartshorne producing. Each links to that county's own Hartshorne well count and operators, not just the general county page.
What the Hartshorne means for your minerals
A resource estimate for a play is not the value of your acreage. Your mineral and royalty interest is valued on the income your wells actually pay, roughly 36 to 72 times your average monthly royalty check, the same as 3 to 6 times your annual royalty. Where you land in that band depends on your wells decline, the operator, your royalty rate, and any undeveloped drilling upside.

The Hartshorne is part of the Anadarko Basin. For the basin-wide value bands and the counties we buy in, see the Anadarko Basin page.
