    "description": "American Royalty Buyers purchases mineral rights and royalties in Chaves County, New Mexico. Located in the Permian Basin, we provide expert valuations.",
    "overview": "Chaves County, around Roswell in southeastern New Mexico, sits on the Northwest Shelf and Pecos Slope of the Permian Basin. It has a long history of shallow oil and gas production from the Yeso, San Andres, and Grayburg carbonates north of the Delaware Basin core in Eddy and Lea counties.",
    "geology": "Chaves County produces from shallow Permian carbonates — the Yeso (Glorieta-Yeso), San Andres, and Grayburg — on the Northwest Shelf and Pecos Slope. Reservoirs are relatively shallow and conventional, with long-lived production and some waterflood activity.",
    "activity": "Operators run shallow Yeso and San Andres oil production across Chaves County, with activity concentrated on the eastern side toward the Lea County line. It is less intensively developed than the Delaware Basin core to the south but offers long-lived conventional royalty income.",
