Yes — you can sell your Austin Chalk mineral rights, and American Royalty Buyers is a direct buyer. What they are worth depends on your net mineral acres, whether the acreage is producing, the formations beneath it, nearby operator activity, and current commodity prices — there is no single per-acre price. A free, no-obligation valuation built from your specific acreage gives you the number, with the reasoning explained.
The Austin Chalk is a fractured-carbonate oil play that arcs across South-Central Texas, directly above the Eagle Ford. Its modern chapter is the horizontal redevelopment of the historic Giddings field, across Grimes, Burleson, Brazos, Fayette, and Washington counties, led by Magnolia Oil & Gas with EOG Resources, ConocoPhillips, and Devon Energy also active. Oil- and condensate-rich, and still being drilled.
The Austin Chalk is one of Texas' oldest and most distinctive plays — a fractured limestone that arcs across the state above the Eagle Ford shale. Its modern story is redevelopment: the historic Giddings field, first drilled in the 1970s, has been reborn as a horizontal oil play across South-Central Texas. Because the chalk produces from natural fractures, results vary tract to tract, which makes an acreage-specific valuation especially important for owners here.
The Austin Chalk is an Upper Cretaceous fractured carbonate that sits directly above the Eagle Ford shale and below the Taylor group. It produces oil and condensate where natural fracture networks are well developed, and modern horizontal wells target those fracture corridors. On much of the trend the Eagle Ford beneath is a stacked co-target, so a single tract can support development in both. Royalty income here is oil- and condensate-weighted.
Magnolia Oil & Gas is the dominant Austin Chalk operator, with the largest position and the most active recent drilling in the Giddings area, followed by EOG Resources, ConocoPhillips, Devon Energy, and Wildfire Energy. The play is an active redevelopment rather than a finished field, so many tracts see new horizontal wells targeting the chalk and, in places, the Eagle Ford below.

Yes. ARB is a direct buyer of Austin Chalk mineral rights, royalties, NPRI, ORRI, and non-operated working interests — producing or non-producing, including inherited or complex title. ARB buys with its own capital, so there is no broker and no fee to you.
Producing minerals are valued on the royalty income they generate, adjusted for how quickly that income will decline. Non-producing minerals are valued on a per-net-mineral-acre basis that reflects the probability and timing of future drilling — higher in active core areas, discounted on the margins.
No. ARB is a direct buyer, so there is no broker or middleman and no fee to you. You are welcome to have an attorney review the documents, but it is not required, and ARB handles the title research, curative work, and transfer paperwork.
