Martin County, directly north of Midland County, has become one of the most prized counties in the entire Midland Basin. The county sits in the structural heart of the basin where the Spraberry and Wolfcamp sections are thick, oil-rich, and highly continuous — qualities that have drawn aggressive development from the basin's largest operators.
Martin County's stacked pay includes the Lower Spraberry, Jo Mill, and multiple Wolfcamp benches. The section is known for strong oil cuts and consistent well results, which is part of why acreage here has historically commanded premium pricing in operator A&D transactions.
Diamondback Energy, ExxonMobil (XTO), and other top-tier operators hold large, contiguous positions in Martin County and continue to develop them with long-lateral horizontal wells. Sustained activity and high per-well productivity make Martin County minerals a core target for ARB.

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 Martin County, Texas 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.
