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 Garfield County — common for tracts under leases held by major operators with carried-out royalty structures.
Yes. Garfield 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 Williams Fork and Mancos formations.
The most active operators we track in Garfield County include Caerus Oil and Gas, Ursa Operating. We regularly buy interests held under leases with these operators.
Garfield County sits in the Denver-Julesburg Basin, where the primary target is williams fork / mancos. Here we underwrite the Williams Fork and Mancos formations.
Yes. Garfield County is one of our top-tier acquisition areas. We can usually turn an offer around in 48 hours and we will compete on price for tracts inside the active development area.
Garfield County sits in the Piceance Basin in western Colorado and produces predominantly natural gas from the Williams Fork, Mancos, and Mesaverde intervals. The county has substantial legacy gas production and continues to see selective drilling activity. Operator economics are gas-driven and sensitive to regional Rocky Mountain gas pricing.
Garfield County gas prices to regional Rocky Mountain hubs (CIG, Opal) which generally track Henry Hub but with takeaway-driven discounts. Realized prices on your royalty check should be in line with regional pricing for the production month after operator marketing fees and post-production costs.
Yes — SB-181 applies statewide. Garfield County operators are subject to the same ECMC permitting and setback requirements. The county is much less densely populated than Weld or Adams, so setback constraints are typically less binding, but the broader regulatory environment is the same.
Closings on Garfield 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.
Garfield County sits in the Denver-Julesburg Basin, where operators are targeting williams fork / mancos. Activity is led by names like Caerus Oil and Gas, Ursa Operating, and new drilling continues to shape the play across the Williams Fork and Mancos 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.
Garfield County is one of our highest-priority acquisition areas. Top-tier operators are running active drilling programs here and we're making offers on both producing and non-producing tracts.
Monthly production has held within a normal band over the last year, suggesting steady development without a recent completion wave.
