Sell Mineral Rights in Redstone, MT
Redstone sits about as far west into Sheridan County's Bakken extension as the play reaches, and we tell people that plainly before we talk numbers.
This is genuinely edge-of-edge ground. Redstone sits toward the western part of Sheridan County, past where most of the Bakken-era horizontal drilling concentrated, and the mineral interests we see out here are mostly old, mostly unleased, and mostly tied to homestead-era severances rather than any recent oil and gas activity. We'd rather set that expectation from the first phone call than let a family assume Redstone shares the same picture as Plentywood or Medicine Lake.
None of that means we won't take the call seriously. It just means the conversation starts from a different baseline than it would for a parcel closer to the state line.
Why the western flank thins out
Net pay in the Bakken and Three Forks generally decreases moving west and north away from the basin's depocenter in North Dakota, and Redstone sits far enough out on that trend that operators have had less economic incentive to drill here compared to ground closer to the state line. That's basin geology, not a knock on the area.
What we still check before quoting
Even on quiet ground like this, we pull the recorded chain from the Sheridan County Clerk and Recorder in Plentywood, confirm the legal description, and check for any lease of record, old or current, before we say what an interest here is worth.
Why we don't discourage a family from calling anyway
A thin drilling record doesn't mean a worthless interest, and we'd rather do the work to give you an honest number than tell you not to bother. Plenty of families have real, sellable assets in ground exactly like this, just priced differently than acreage closer to the state line.
MONTANA RECORD CHECK
Resolve the Record Question Before the Deed Is Written
Each answer points back to a county instrument, legal description, paid line, spacing record, production record, or written term that can be checked.
Is there any real chance of drilling near Redstone?
Lower than in the eastern part of the county, given how the Bakken's net pay thins moving west. We evaluate your interest against that honest reality.
Your family's minerals near Redstone have never been leased — is that unusual?
No, that's the typical situation for this part of the county. We still buy these interests, priced as long-term potential.
How do you verify a Redstone-area parcel?
Through the recorded deed chain at the Sheridan County Clerk and Recorder in Plentywood, the same process we use countywide.
Is it worth checking if you're not sure your family still owns anything out there?
Yes. Give us what you have — even a rough family name and area — and we'll confirm through the county record before we go further.
Will you tell you honestly if it's not worth pursuing?
Yes. We'd rather tell you the real picture up front than waste your time chasing a number that won't hold up.
