Sell Mineral Rights in Colorado

Colorado is a two-play state for us, active DJ Basin horizontal development around Weld County, and slower, gas-price-sensitive Piceance Basin acreage on the Western Slope, and we buy in both.

The Denver-Julesburg Basin, centered on Weld County and running up around Greeley, has seen sustained horizontal drilling for over a decade now, and owners there tend to have real, current royalty checks with production history to price against. The Piceance Basin over in Garfield and Rio Blanco counties is a different animal entirely, mostly natural gas, and activity there tracks gas prices closely, so it's had quieter stretches when Henry Hub softens.

Whichever basin you're in, we buy the interest outright and we don't need you to figure out which play you're sitting in before you call. Tell us the county and we'll take it from there.

DJ Basin: Active Development, Clearer Pricing

If your interest sits in Weld County or the surrounding DJ Basin core, you likely have recent production history we can price against directly, since horizontal Niobrara and Codell development has kept this area busier than most of the Rockies. Recent, active royalty checks make our job easier, we're not guessing at decline curves off a well that hasn't reported in five years.

That said, don't assume every DJ Basin tract is a slam dunk. Setback rules in Colorado have tightened over the past several years, which has shifted where new wells get permitted and affected some flank acreage more than core positions. We factor current permitting reality into any offer instead of relying only on historical production.

Piceance Basin: Gas-Price Sensitive, Slower But Still Buyable

Piceance Basin gas acreage in Garfield and Rio Blanco counties has gone through real boom and quiet stretches tied almost entirely to natural gas pricing, since it's a gassier, more remote basin than the DJ. When gas prices soften, operators here tend to pull back activity faster than in oilier plays, which shows up in royalty checks.

We still buy Piceance interests. What we offer accounts for current gas pricing, well decline stage, and whether there's any active drilling nearby, since a quiet stretch in gas pricing doesn't mean the interest has no value, it means we're pricing it against present conditions rather than a peak year from a decade ago.

Weld County Recorder and Title Realities

Colorado records through each county's clerk and recorder, and Weld County processes an enormous volume of oil and gas filings given how active DJ Basin development has been. That volume actually makes title research more straightforward in most cases, since recent leases, pooling orders, and division orders tend to be well documented and easy to pull.

Piceance Basin title work in Garfield and Rio Blanco counties can involve older leases and, occasionally, split estates where surface and mineral ownership diverged decades ago. We run that research before quoting you, and we'll flag anything, an old unreleased lease, an unrecorded assignment, that needs to clear before we close.
