In the Eastern Shelf — direct buyer, no brokers, no fees
Mitchell County, around Colorado City on the western Eastern Shelf, combines long-life shallow carbonate production from the historic Westbrook field with Spraberry and Wolfcamp development along its western, Midland Basin–facing edge.
Mitchell County's legacy production comes from shallow Clearfork and San Andres carbonates (the Westbrook field area), while the western county accesses the Midland Basin's Spraberry and Wolfcamp section — giving owners both conventional carbonate income and horizontal upside.
Operators run long-standing carbonate waterfloods in the Westbrook area and horizontal Spraberry/Wolfcamp wells toward the basin, so Mitchell minerals carry a mix of steady conventional production and horizontal development potential.
Mitchell County mixes long-life shallow carbonate production (the historic Westbrook field) with Spraberry and Wolfcamp development on its western edge toward the Midland Basin, so income can be both steady-conventional and horizontal-upside depending on your acreage.

Selling Mitchell 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 Eastern Shelf, 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.
