Where We Buy
Spicewood's technical platform gives us basin-level visibility across the most prolific and active onshore U.S. unconventional plays. We are currently most active in the areas below, though we evaluate opportunities across all major U.S. producing regions. If you own mineral interests anywhere in the country, we want to hear from you.
Contact us at deals@spicewoodpartners.com with your property location (state, county, section, and block/township) and an estimate of your net acreage.
Permian Basin – Delaware & Midland | West Texas and Southeastern New Mexico
The most productive oil basin in the United States, the Permian offers stacked pay zones, world-class operators, and decades of remaining development inventory. The Permian has been a core focus for Spicewood since inception.
DJ Basin | Colorado and Wyoming
The DJ Basin combines low breakeven costs with stacked pay potential across the Niobrara and Codell formations, making it one of the most capital-efficient oil plays in the U.S. A small number of well-capitalized operators control the majority of activity, creating a concentrated and highly visible development environment.
Haynesville Shale | East Texas and Northwest Louisiana
One of the highest-producing dry gas plays in the country, the Haynesville benefits from direct access to Gulf Coast markets and growing LNG export demand. Its deep, high-pressure wells and premier operators make it one of the most economic gas plays in North America.
Powder River Basin | Wyoming
The Powder River Basin offers stacked oil-producing potential across the Turner, Niobrara, and Mowry formations, with a growing operator presence and significant undeveloped inventory. It remains one of the more underpenetrated basins from an institutional mineral ownership standpoint.
Williston Basin | North Dakota and Eastern Montana
The Williston is a mature, well-proven oil basin anchored by the Bakken and Three Forks formations. Its long production history and extensive infrastructure make it a stable royalty environment with meaningful remaining development upside.
Other U.S. Basins
Spicewood evaluates mineral and royalty opportunities across all active U.S. unconventional basins. If you own minerals outside of the areas listed above, we still want to hear from you. Please reach out to deals@spicewoodpartners.com with your property location and acreage details.
