Weighing an offer to sell your Duval County minerals?
Buyers make unsolicited offers on mineral rights constantly, and the activity on record here is the context that tells you whether an offer is well-timed. Duval County has 8 new drilling permits in the last year, 685 producing wells, 0 horizontal permits and 12 active operators on record. New drilling — especially horizontal wells that can drain a tract from a mile away — is what moves both a mineral tract's value and your leverage in a sale. This page shows that activity free; watching the county tells you the moment it changes, so an offer never lands before you know what's driving it.
This is public Railroad Commission activity — the same data a mineral buyer looks at, in your hands. It is not an appraisal, and not a record of who owns the minerals.
