Big Wells sits in a productive stretch of the Eagle Ford oil window, and Dimmit County has held onto steady development activity longer than some of the play's edges.

Operators have worked this part of Dimmit County consistently since the early horizontal boom, and secondary development, including infill wells and refracs, has kept activity going here well after some other areas slowed down. When the tract desk underwrites a tract near Big Wells, it checks for both original completions and any newer work on the same unit.

Sustained Development in a Strong Part of the Play

This part of Dimmit County has some of the better rock quality in the Eagle Ford oil window, which is part of why it's kept operator attention longer than thinner or more marginal acreage elsewhere in the trend.

What the tract desk checks Before Pricing

Recent permits, current operator of record, and your actual statement history all factor into the number. Infill drilling on tighter spacing than the original units is common enough here that the tract desk checks for it specifically.

Family Land and Title Work

A lot of Dimmit County land has stayed with the same families for generations, and fractional interests split among heirs are common. The tract desk flags any probate or heirship needs early so the process doesn't stall later.

Fix the Property Line First

Every review begins with the county record, legal description, ownership fraction, lease position, producing status, wells, units, and paid decimal. Surface location can help find a tract, but it does not prove the mineral interest or participation in nearby development.

Place the Tract in the Producing Context

Formation, field, well vintages, spacing, operator acreage, offsets, permits, and development pace around a subject tract belong in separate evidence lanes. The property's own history carries more weight than activity that does not include the acreage.

Reconcile the Revenue Line

Statements, division orders, unit records, volumes, prices, taxes, deductions, downtime, adjustments, burdens, and decimal changes should reconcile before current revenue or remaining production is projected for the tract.

Write the Conveyance

The written purchase file should identify the right conveyed, county, legal description, fractions or acres, depths, products, wells, units, reservations, effective date, receivables, title standard, adjustment rights, funding, and recording sequence.

Owner Questions for This Texas Property File

Resolve these owner questions before a Texas mineral purchase is reduced to a single dollars-per-acre number.

Is Big Wells still an active area for Eagle Ford drilling?

Yes, this part of Dimmit County has held onto steady development longer than some other areas of the play, including recent infill and refrac activity.

What's infill drilling and how does it change the owner's value?

It's when an operator drills additional wells on tighter spacing within an existing unit. If that's happening near your tract, it can meaningfully add to remaining value.

The owner's interest is split among several heirs. Can you buy just the owner's portion?

Yes, we regularly buy individual fractional shares in family-held tracts without requiring the rest of the family to sell as well.

How does oil pricing factor into an offer here?

We weigh recent pricing trends alongside your actual statement history, since this is primarily oil production and your check moves with the broader market.

What if the owner's well was drilled years ago and has been declining ever since?

That's normal Eagle Ford behavior. We build a decline projection from your statement history to understand where the well sits today rather than assuming it's near the end.
