Wheat oilfield, located in southwestern Loving County surrounding Mentone, Texas, began permanent commercial production on September 1, 1925, when the Pecos Valley Petroleum Company brought in the J. J. Wheat No. 1. In 1919 James Jackson Wheat, Sr., a native of Arkansas, moved to Loving and Ward counties and bought several thousand acres of land. From October 1919 to 1925 Wheat leased minerals and sold tracts to investors in the Southwest. Early in 1921 Wheat and Bladen Ramsey organized the Toyah-Bell Oil Company. The company leased acreage on the Russell Ranch one mile east of the site of Mentone in southwestern Loving County. Source: https://www.tshaonline.org/handbook/entries/wheat-oilfield

Here’s a quick list of additional factors that might influence your value:

Location of the minerals
Mineral assets in or near active drilling areas. Texas is home to major oil and gas fields, with the Permian Basin in West Texas and the Eagle Ford Shale in South Texas being the most prolific. Other major plays include the Barnett Shale, Haynesville Shale, and the historic East Texas Field, contributing to Texas as the leading U.S. producer. (Source).

Current production
