In the Central Basin Platform — direct buyer, no brokers, no fees
Hockley County, around Levelland on the Northwest Shelf, is home to the giant Levelland field — the eastern half of the Slaughter–Levelland San Andres trend — with decades of shallow carbonate production now under large-scale waterflood and CO2 enhanced oil recovery.
Hockley County's main reservoirs are the San Andres and Clearfork carbonates of the Northwest Shelf and Central Basin Platform, producing at shallow depths. The Levelland field's San Andres dolomite has been under secondary and tertiary recovery for decades, with Glorieta and Clearfork contributing additional pay.
Operators run San Andres and Clearfork waterfloods and CO2 EOR projects across Hockley County, providing steady, long-duration royalty income, with some horizontal redevelopment of the carbonate section.
Levelland is a giant shallow San Andres carbonate oil field — the eastern half of the Slaughter–Levelland trend — that has produced for decades and is under large-scale waterflood and CO2 enhanced oil recovery, which can make associated royalty interests long-lived.
Royalty interests tied to long-running San Andres floods like Levelland can produce steady income over very long timelines. ARB values each interest on its specific unit, operator, formations, and decimal.
ARB reviews public production data, your operator and formations, decimal interest, and nearby activity, then provides a free, no-obligation offer with no fee to you.

ARB is a direct buyer: no broker, and no fees or commissions at any point.
