How do i sell crude oil from my oil well?

Question

They found oil in 1951 and capped the oil well and i don't know how to get the oil company's to buy the oil.

Answer 1

once capped it isn't in production--so where is the oil you want them to buy? Have you reopened the well with out a permit? This isn't making sense.

Answer 2

Go to your state's regulatory department for oil and gas wells and obtain a permit for that well.

Hire a petroleum geologist to check the well and determine its production rate

Once you have that permit and information then find a refinery which will purchase your oil.  

When the oil is sold, contract with a recovery company to get the oil out of the ground and a trucking company to get it to the refinery.

Or, you could sell the well and mineral rights to me for $5.00
