In the Delaware Basin — direct buyer, no brokers, no fees
Culberson County, in far West Texas around Van Horn, sits on the western edge of the Delaware Basin and has become a major horizontal oil and gas county as operators developed its deep, stacked Wolfcamp and Bone Spring section.
Culberson County produces from the Delaware Basin's over-pressured Wolfcamp and Bone Spring intervals, along with the Delaware Mountain Group at shallower depths, giving multiple stacked targets across a single tract.
Operators including Coterra Energy (formerly Cimarex), ExxonMobil, and others run active horizontal development programs in Culberson County.
