Sell Mineral Rights in Damascus, AR

Damascus sits within the productive core of the Fayetteville Shale, and mineral ownership here is closely tied to the play's boom-and-decline history.

Between roughly 2005 and 2012, this part of Van Buren County saw heavy leasing and drilling activity as Southwestern Energy and other operators worked to develop the Fayetteville Shale's best rock. Families around Damascus who signed leases during that period have generally had a real production history to show for it, even if today's royalty checks are far smaller than they were in the well's first year or two.

Boom-years drilling and today's decline curve

The wells near Damascus that were drilled during the peak leasing years have followed the typical Fayetteville Shale pattern: a strong initial rate, a steep drop over the following few years, and then a long, low-volume tail. We price current interests against that tail, using actual recent production data rather than the well's historical peak.

Operator changes since the original leasing wave

Southwestern Energy drilled most of the original wells in this area before selling its Fayetteville Shale position to Flywheel Energy in 2018, which was later acquired by BKV Corporation in 2021. A change in the name on your statement over the years reflects that history.

We confirm current operator status directly as part of any evaluation, since it affects who we'd be dealing with to close a purchase.

Reconstructing ownership from Van Buren County records

If your family's interest near Damascus has passed through multiple generations, the Circuit Clerk's office in Clinton holds the deed and probate records needed to confirm current ownership.
