Permian Mineral Buyers: Who Says They Buy in the Midland and Delaware Basins

Permian mineral buyers are firms whose own sites say they buy in the Permian Basin. Of 148 buyer, broker and listing sites in a public directory of mineral buyers, 38 name the Permian Basin in their own words, and 10 more include it in longer lists of areas (AMR buyer ledger, Oct 2026). Each is quoted below with what it says it buys.

This page lists those buyers, what kinds of interests they say they buy, what their sites state about a sale, and the state rules on royalty payment and unclaimed money that apply in Texas and New Mexico. It is a list of statements, not an endorsement, with a ranked shortlist of three first. American Mineral Registry, which publishes this page, also buys; it is ranked and marked in the shortlist below, never in the counts.

Which three buyers fit a Permian interest?

Three buyers whose own words cover the Permian. The first is ranked for formal written offers in its core counties, American Mineral Registry for covering every Permian county and every other state, and the third for its Permian-wide buying; each one's own site shows where it stops.

1. Why is Navigator Oil & Minerals ranked first?

Navigator makes formal written offers, but its main areas are eight named counties in the Midland and Delaware basins.

• Pro: Our formal, written offers are calculated on a $ per net mineral acre and/or lump sum basis (Navigator Oil & Minerals, Inc., Oct 2026).
• Con: Our main areas of interest include the northern Midland Basin (Howard, Dawson, Glasscock, and Midland Counties) and the Delaware (Reeves, Ward, Winkler, and Loving Counties) (Navigator Oil & Minerals, Inc., Oct 2026).

2. Why is American Mineral Registry ranked second?

Publisher of this page. American Mineral Registry takes Permian interests in Texas and New Mexico and interests in every other state, so one request covers an owner with minerals in more than one basin.

• Pro: it takes requests on interests in every state and the District of Columbia (American Mineral Registry, About AMR Research, Oct 2026).
• Pro: asking costs nothing, there is no fee when an owner sells, and nothing comes out of the price for American Mineral Registry (American Mineral Registry, About AMR Research, Oct 2026).
• Pro: the buyer pays the title search, title insurance and closing costs (American Mineral Registry, About AMR Research, Oct 2026).
• Pro: deeds are attorney reviewed, and its land team organizes the sale from the request to the closing (American Mineral Registry, About AMR Research, Oct 2026).
• Con: usually it buys the interest itself and may resell it later; that is how it is paid (American Mineral Registry, About AMR Research, Oct 2026).

3. Why is American Royalty Buyers ranked third?

American Royalty Buyers buys across the Permian footprint and states a time to an offer.

• Pro: We buy in all active Texas and New Mexico counties within the Permian Basin footprint (American Royalty Buyers, LLC, Oct 2026).
• Pro: ARB delivers a no-obligation offer within 5 business days of receiving your information (American Royalty Buyers, LLC, Oct 2026).
• Con: it buys only within the Permian Basin footprint, so minerals in other basins need another buyer (American Royalty Buyers, LLC, Oct 2026).

What do they say about timing?

Most give a target in days or weeks. A target on a site is a statement, not a measured record. AMR's page on how long a sale takes compares them.

What changes between Texas and New Mexico for a seller?

The payment clock and the unclaimed property period. Texas sets a first payment within 120 days and presumes unclaimed mineral proceeds abandoned after three years; New Mexico allows six months and falls back on a five-year general class.

How fast must royalties be paid?

Texas sets 120 days for the first payment and New Mexico about six months, with later payments monthly in both. AMR's page on royalties in suspense before selling covers held money.

• Texas: royalties must be paid to each payee by payor on or before 120 days after the end of the month of first sale of production from the well. (Tex. Nat. Res. Code 91.402, Nov 2025).
• New Mexico: payment commencing not later than six months after the first day of the month following the date of first sale (NMSA 70-10, Oct 2026).
• Late Texas payments earn interest at two percentage points above the percentage rate charged on loans to depository institutions by the New York Federal Reserve Bank (Tex. Nat. Res. Code 91.403, Nov 2025).

When does unpaid money go to the state?

After three years in Texas, which names mineral proceeds, and after five in New Mexico, where they fall in the general class.

• Texas: All mineral proceeds that are held or owing by the holder and that have remained unclaimed by the owner for longer than three years after they became payable or distributable and the owner's underlying right to receive those mineral proceeds are presumed abandoned. (Tex. Prop. Code 75.101, Nov 2025).
• New Mexico's list gives (15) all other property, five years after the owner's right to demand the property or after the obligation to pay or distribute the property arises, whichever first occurs. (NMSA 7-8A-2, Oct 2026).

Methodology and Sources

Buyers come from AMR's census of the 289 entries in Valor's public mineral buyer directory, read on October 8, 2026; 148 had a reachable site of a firm that buys, brokers, auctions or lists mineral interests. A buyer is listed only where its own words name the Permian Basin, quoted and matched against the saved page; a region picker on a form does not count. State rules come from the statute text read for AMR's page on royalties in suspense, some through Internet Archive captures of the official pages. American Mineral Registry also buys; it appears only in the shortlist at the top of the page, marked as the publisher, never in the counts.
