In the Delaware Basin — direct buyer, no brokers, no fees
Loving County is the least-populated county in the United States, yet it sits atop some of the most valuable acreage in the Delaware Basin. Its deep, over-pressured Wolfcamp and Bone Spring section has made it a focal point of Permian development.
Loving County features a thick stacked Wolfcamp and Bone Spring column, with high-pressure reservoirs that drive strong initial production rates across multiple horizontal benches.
Major operators including ExxonMobil, EOG Resources, and others hold significant positions and continue intensive horizontal development across Loving County.
Despite its tiny population, Loving County sits over a deep, over-pressured Wolfcamp and Bone Spring section that supports high-rate wells, which has historically translated into strong mineral and royalty values.
