Public-company tickers link to investor relations. Private operators are marked as such and do not carry a ticker.
We also buy overriding royalty interests (ORRIs) and non-participating royalty interests (NPRIs) in Arapahoe County — common for tracts under leases held by major operators with carried-out royalty structures.
Yes. Arapahoe County is on our active buy list. We buy mineral interests, royalty interests, NPRI, and ORRI on both producing and non-producing tracts targeting the Niobrara and Codell formations.
The most active operators we track in Arapahoe County include Civitas Resources, Great Western. We regularly buy interests held under leases with these operators.
Arapahoe County sits in the DJ Basin, where the primary target is niobrara / codell. Here we underwrite the Niobrara and Codell formations.
Last-six-month volumes in Arapahoe County are running below the prior six months, which is typical of an area weighted toward legacy production rather than fresh drilling. Offer values still reflect the remaining decline curve and any nearby permits.
Arapahoe County sits in the southern DJ Basin south of Weld County, with selective Niobrara and Codell activity in less-developed areas. Like Adams County, Arapahoe has substantial suburban and urban overlap that restricts where new wells can be sited. Active development is concentrated in the eastern, less-populated portion of the county.
Send us the legal description. We pull the surrounding well, permit, and lease activity, then assess the setback constraints and operator interest in the specific township. Tracts in active eastern Arapahoe County townships have meaningful development potential; tracts within urban setback zones may have limited near-term development outlook.
Yes. Arapahoe County leasing and mineral sale activity is much lighter than Weld County. Bonuses on unleased acreage are typically lower, and the buyer pool is smaller. Owners of Arapahoe County minerals are often better served by an immediate sale than by waiting for a competitive lease — the time value and uncertainty of waiting is meaningful in this market.
Closings on Arapahoe County mineral rights typically take 7 to 30 days from the date you accept our offer, depending on title complexity. We handle county-level title work, PSA drafting, mineral deed preparation, and notary coordination at our expense.
Just a tract description (abstract or survey, section/township/range, or a legal description from your deed) and any recent royalty check stubs if the interest is producing. You do not need to gather deeds or title opinions up front.
Arapahoe County sits in the DJ Basin, where operators are targeting niobrara / codell. Activity is led by names like Civitas Resources, Great Western, and new drilling continues to shape the play across the Niobrara and Codell formations.
If you hold mineral rights, royalty interests, NPRI, or ORRI anywhere in the county, we'd like to put a written offer in front of you. Every offer we send is funded from our own balance sheet — there's no auction, no broker markup, and no third-party capital waiting to approve the deal.
Arapahoe County has steady development activity and we buy here regularly. If you own minerals in the county, we'd like to evaluate your tract.
Production has softened over the last six months compared with the prior six — typical of a county with more legacy production than fresh drilling.
