An independent guide for mineral owners in EOG Resources's active Permian Basin areas — and how to get a free valuation of your interest.
EOG Resources is one of the largest independent oil and gas companies in the United States. In the Permian, EOG's development is concentrated in the Delaware Basin — it is consistently among the most active permit filers in Lea County, New Mexico.

If your minerals sit under acreage operated by EOG Resources — or near its active permits — that activity matters to your value in two ways. New permits signal coming wells, which can mean new or larger royalty checks. And active development by a well-capitalized operator is one of the strongest value drivers buyers weigh when pricing mineral and royalty interests. Focus area: Delaware Basin (Lea and Eddy counties, NM; Loving and Reeves counties, TX).
It also matters when you act: Permian horizontal wells typically decline 60–80% in their first year, so royalty income near a well's peak doesn't last at that level. Many owners use a period of high operator activity to get a current, data-driven read on what their interest is worth.
ARB values interests under EOG Resources-operated acreage using your net mineral acres, the producing formations, current and permitted wells, and live commodity prices — free, explained, and with no obligation to sell.
If you own a royalty or mineral interest under EOG Resources-operated wells and are thinking about selling, American Royalty Buyers is a direct, Fort Worth–based buyer — not a broker. You can sell your interest whether or not it is currently producing, and regardless of who operates the wells: EOG Resources's consent is not required and your sale does not disturb its leases or operations. We handle the title work, division-order research, and transfer paperwork at no cost to you, and there are never any commissions or fees taken out of your proceeds.
The process is simple: send us your most recent EOG Resources check stub (or your division order or lease), we build a valuation from your specific interest, and you receive a written, no-obligation offer — typically within five business days. If you accept, most sales close in four to six weeks.
Value depends on your net mineral acres, the producing and permitted wells on your acreage, the formations beneath it, and current commodity prices — not on the operator alone, though active development by EOG Resources is a meaningful value driver. There is no universal price; the reliable way to learn your number is a free, no-obligation valuation built from your specific interest, which American Royalty Buyers provides with the reasoning explained.
Yes. You can sell your mineral or royalty interest regardless of who operates the wells — the operator's consent is not required, and your sale does not affect the operator's leases or operations. ARB buys interests under EOG Resources-operated acreage and handles all title and transfer work at no cost to you.
Selling minerals under a EOG Resources-operated lease takes four steps: (1) gather your most recent EOG Resources check stub or division order — these identify your decimal interest and the wells or units; (2) request a free valuation, in which ARB reviews your net mineral acres, the producing and permitted wells on your acreage, the formations, and current commodity prices; (3) review the written, no-obligation offer, typically delivered within 5 business days; and (4) if you accept, ARB prepares the deed and handles the title and transfer work, and you receive a lump-sum wire — usually within 4 to 6 weeks of accepting. You do not need EOG Resources's permission to sell, and ARB charges no fees or commissions.
Operators often pay royalties through subsidiaries or retain legacy payor names after mergers. Payments connected to EOG Resources wells may arrive under names such as EOG Resources, Inc.. Your check stub, division order, or lease paperwork identifies the exact payor.

New permits can mean new royalty income, but Permian horizontal wells typically decline 60–80% in their first year, and future development of any specific tract is never guaranteed. Many owners use a period of high operator activity to capture a strong current valuation. ARB's free valuation gives you a concrete, no-obligation data point to decide.
