01 The Company

Who Mewbourne is, and where they work.

A privately held independent founded in 1965, active in the Permian and Anadarko basins across Texas, New Mexico, and Oklahoma.

Mewbourne Oil Company is a privately held oil and gas exploration and production company founded in 1965 and headquartered in Tyler, Texas. Its activity is concentrated in two regions: the Permian Basin of west Texas and southeast New Mexico, and the Anadarko Basin spanning the Texas panhandle and western Oklahoma.

Mewbourne runs a decentralized model, coordinating operations and exploration from a set of district offices: Hobbs, New Mexico and Midland, Texas for the Permian, and Perryton, Texas, Woodward and Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, and Amarillo, Texas for the Anadarko. As a private company, Mewbourne does not file the public financial and production disclosures that publicly traded operators do.

02 What This Means for Mineral Owners

If you receive royalty checks from Mewbourne.

Mewbourne operates across three states and two basins. What matters for an owner is which well and unit your interest sits in, and how to reach the operator for account questions.

If you own minerals that Mewbourne operates, your interest most likely sits in the Permian or the Anadarko. Because Mewbourne is private, the public record for verifying operator status, well status, and production volumes runs through the state regulators rather than company filings: the Texas Railroad Commission, the New Mexico Oil Conservation Division, and the Oklahoma Corporation Commission.

For account-level questions, decimal interest, statements, address changes, or probate updates, the operator’s owner relations channel is the right contact. We maintain a directory entry with Mewbourne’s verified owner relations contact information so owners can reach the right desk; you can find it through the owner relations link on this page.

03Questions Mineral Owners Ask

What peopleactually ask about Mewbourne.

Honest answers to the things owners most often want to know about Mewbourne-paid interests.

01
I receive royalty checks from Mewbourne. Where do they operate?
Mewbourne Oil Company is a privately held operator headquartered in Tyler, Texas, with activity in the Permian Basin (coordinated from offices in Hobbs, New Mexico and Midland, Texas) and the Anadarko Basin (coordinated from offices in Perryton, Texas and Woodward, Oklahoma). If your minerals are in Texas, New Mexico, or Oklahoma, a Mewbourne-operated well is one possible source of your royalty.
02
Mewbourne is private. How do I find information about their operations?
As a privately held company, Mewbourne does not publish the detailed financial and production information that public companies file. The state regulator's well database is the authoritative source: the Texas Railroad Commission, the New Mexico Oil Conservation Division, or the Oklahoma Corporation Commission, searchable by well, by API number, or by section, township, and range.
03
Why are the decimal interests different on my different Mewbourne checks?
This is normal where wells are developed across more than one tract or formation. Each well has its own unit configuration, and your decimal interest is calculated separately for each. Different decimals for different wells in the same area are expected, not an error.
04
Can I sell mineral rights that pay royalties through Mewbourne?
Yes. Mineral rights paid through Mewbourne are bought and sold the same way as any other producing interest. The sale is a transaction between you and the buyer and does not require Mewbourne's involvement. We are happy to look at what you have and walk through what it might be worth.
05
I inherited mineral rights and the prior owner's name is on Mewbourne's paperwork. How do I update the account?
This requires probate documentation. Once the estate has been probated and you have Letters Testamentary or equivalent court paperwork, submit copies with a recorded conveyance (a mineral deed of distribution, probate decree, or similar) to Mewbourne's owner relations team, along with a new W-9 in your name. They will re-issue the division order in your name.
