Custer County, in the deep Anadarko Basin of western Oklahoma, is one of the state's most active horizontal drilling counties right now — 94 horizontal wells have been spudded since 2023 across a county with roughly 2,700 total wells and 1,100 active. Mewbourne Oil, the largest private operator in the Anadarko, spudded 28 wells here in the past twelve months alone. For mineral owners, that pace of development means new wells, new division orders, and growing royalty streams — and strong buyer demand for Custer County interests.
The modern play is horizontal development of the Pennsylvanian Red Fork and Des Moines sections alongside the deeper Woodford shale — stacked targets in the deep Anadarko Basin where thick, over-pressured sections support multi-well pad development. The Red Fork in particular has re-emerged as western Oklahoma's workhorse horizontal target, and Custer County sits in the heart of that resurgence.
Mewbourne Oil leads with 28 spuds in the trailing twelve months (25 new permits in 2025, primarily Red Fork), followed by Nadel & Gussman (13 spuds, Red Fork), Devon Energy (12 spuds), Validus Energy (Woodford), Anthem Energy (Red Fork), and Continental Resources (Woodford). When multiple well-capitalized operators are running programs in the same county, mineral owners benefit twice: more wells under their acreage, and more competitive pricing when they sell.
Custer County's most active operators are Mewbourne Oil (28 horizontal spuds in the trailing twelve months, mostly targeting the Red Fork), Nadel & Gussman, Devon Energy, Validus Energy, Anthem Energy, and Continental Resources — the latter two splitting between Red Fork and Woodford targets. The specific operator on your acreage depends on the unit covering your tract.
Custer County values run higher than most of western Oklahoma because of active horizontal development — 94 horizontal wells spudded since 2023 — but any specific interest depends on your net mineral acres, whether your tract is held by production, which operator controls the unit, and proximity to recent Red Fork and Woodford wells. ARB provides a free, data-driven valuation of your exact interest with the reasoning explained.
A pooling order or drilling notice means an operator is preparing to drill a unit that includes your minerals — in Custer County that is most often a horizontal Red Fork or Woodford well. It is also when your interest is most marketable: buyers can underwrite the coming well rather than guess. Whether you elect, lease, or sell, know your net mineral acres and get a valuation before deciding.
The value of mineral rights in Custer County, Oklahoma depends on whether your acreage is producing, your net mineral acres, the producing formations in the STACK and Anadarko Basin, nearby operator activity, and current oil and gas prices — there is no single per-acre figure. American Royalty Buyers values your specific Custer County interest from your actual acreage and production data and provides a free, no-obligation valuation with the reasoning explained.
Do not sign or return anything right away. First, confirm exactly what you own — your net mineral acres, royalty decimal, and which wells or units are involved. Second, verify the buyer: check whether they are a direct buyer or a broker who intends to flip the deal, and read the purchase agreement for the effective date and any deductions. Third, get at least one competing written offer so you have something to measure the first one against. Unsolicited offers on Custer County, Oklahoma minerals are often opening bids rather than best-and-final, and a second valuation from American Royalty Buyers is free and carries no obligation to sell.
Selling Custer County mineral rights to American Royalty Buyers takes four steps: (1) gather your most recent check stub, division order, or lease so you can describe your interest; (2) request a free valuation, in which ARB reviews your net mineral acres, the producing and permitted wells on your acreage in the STACK and Anadarko Basin, and current commodity prices; (3) review the written, no-obligation offer, typically delivered within five business days; and (4) if you accept, ARB handles the title research, curative work, and deed preparation, then funds your lump-sum payment by wire — usually within four to six weeks. ARB is a direct buyer: no broker, and no fees or commissions at any point.
Unsolicited letters and calls offering to buy Custer County, Oklahoma mineral rights are common, and the first number is rarely the best one.
