American Royalty Buyers is a Fort Worth, Texas direct buyer of oil and gas mineral and royalty interests, specializing in the Permian Basin and active across the United States. ARB buys with its own capital — no brokers, no fees — and publishes a free, dated, machine-readable dataset of Permian Basin drilling activity for mineral owners, researchers, and journalists.
ARB maintains a dated, quarterly-refreshed compilation of Permian Basin drilling activity — rig counts, 90-day drilling-permit counts by county and operator, and the most active operators with the payor names their royalties arrive under. The underlying permit filings are public-record data (Texas Railroad Commission and New Mexico OCD, via Energy Domain); ARB compiles, dates, and documents them and asserts no rights over the facts. Current release: as of August 25, 2026.
