Sell mineral rights in Dunn County
Dunn County, valued by people who read the rock.
Dunn County anchors the southern Bakken, and its thick, stacked Three Forks benches have made the ground around Killdeer and Manning some of the most productive in the basin. If you hold minerals here, you hold real, well-documented value.
The lay of the land
Owning minerals in Dunn County.
Dunn is known for stacked-pay development — multiple Three Forks benches beneath the Bakken — so well counts per unit run high and the remaining drilling inventory matters as much as the wells already producing. An offer that prices only today’s wells leaves the undrilled potential out of your pocket; we read both.
A good share of Dunn acreage touches the Fort Berthold reservation’s southern reaches, so we confirm exactly what’s fee-owned against the North Dakota Industrial Commission’s Department of Mineral Resources (the NDIC) records before talking price — and we do that homework at our cost, whether or not you ever sell.

Common questions
Asked by Dunn County owners.
I keep hearing Dunn County has “stacked pay.” What does that mean for my minerals?
It means more than one productive zone sits under your acres — typically the Bakken plus multiple Three Forks benches — so a single unit can support several wells over time. Value here depends heavily on how many of those wells exist versus how many the operator can still drill, which is exactly what we map out for you.
How do you value undrilled potential on my Dunn County acreage?
Carefully and conservatively. We look at the operator’s permits and spacing, comparable nearby wells, and realistic timing, then weigh that upside honestly rather than promising it. You see how much of any offer is producing wells versus future drilling.
