The Morrow shows up in state oil and gas commission well records as a producing formation or pool in 22 of the counties and parishes we cover, across the DJ Basin and Anadarko Basin. It is not confined to one basin; owners in different basins hold Morrow interests that are valued the same way, on the income the wells actually pay. Across those counties, state records show 31,599 active wells producing, with the heaviest activity in Stevens County, Texas County, Beaver 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 Morrow play
These are the counties and parishes we cover where state commission records show the Morrow producing. Each links to that county's own Morrow well count and operators, not just the general county page.
What the Morrow 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 Morrow is not confined to one basin: state records show it producing across DJ Basin , and Anadarko Basin . For the basin-wide value bands and the counties we buy in, see each basin's page.

- State commission well records show the Morrow producing in 22 counties we cover: Baca County, Beaver County, Caddo County, Cimarron County, Comanche County, Cotton County, Finney County, Grant County, Hansford County, Harper County, Haskell County, Jackson County, and others. See each county's page for the full local well and operator picture.
- How many wells produce from the Morrow?
- Across the counties we cover, state oil and gas commission records show about 31,599 active wells tied to the Morrow. That figure is a sum across counties from public well records, not a measure of any one owner's interest.
- What is a Morrow mineral interest worth?
- A Morrow interest is valued the same way as any producing interest: roughly 36 to 72 times your average monthly royalty check. Where you land in that range depends on your wells' decline, the operator, your royalty rate, and any undeveloped drilling upside. This is an estimate, not an offer.
