Serving North Dakota mineral owners and Williston Basin families

North Dakota minerals start with the location.

NARO North Dakota helps owners connect inherited Bakken interests, lease or purchase offers, spacing, production, and royalty statements.

Township. Range. Section. Those three details unlock the story.

North Dakota mineral questions become more useful when they begin with an exact location. From there, owners can connect title, permits, spacing, wells, production, and payments.

Start with the Mineral Owner FAQ

These are recurring owner questions, not individualized legal, title, tax, accounting, investment, or valuation advice.

Inherited minerals and title

Sort the family file by county, township, range, and section, then identify which deeds or estate records still need attention.

Lease and purchase offers

Compare the offer with the exact location, nearby activity, ownership, royalty terms, and the document's long-term effect.

Spacing, wells, and checks

Trace permits, production, spacing, Division Order decimals, deductions, and reported volumes before judging one number in isolation.

The legal description is not fine print. It is the map.

Keep these three details at the top of every North Dakota mineral file and include them when you contact an operator, professional, or chapter leader.
