Weld County sits in the DJ Basin, where the primary target is niobrara / codell. Here we underwrite the Niobrara and Codell formations.

Weld County is the heart of the DJ Basin (Wattenberg field) with active Niobrara A/B/C, Codell, and Greenhorn development. The county is the most productive in Colorado and one of the highest-permit counties in the country. Operators have built large continuous-development programs. Bonuses and royalty multiples for unleased Weld County acreage have been at the top of the Colorado range.

SB-181 (2019) materially shifted Colorado oil and gas regulation toward stricter local-control, environmental, and proximity standards. The COGCC (now ECMC) has tightened siting rules and increased scrutiny of new permits. The practical impact on Weld County mineral owners has been slower permit timelines and some marginal areas becoming uneconomic to develop. Active development continues in the Wattenberg core, but the regulatory environment is materially different than pre-2019. We account for the regulatory environment in current underwriting.

Colorado imposes a tiered severance tax (2-5% of gross income depending on production volume) plus county-level ad valorem on producing minerals. The combined effective burden in Weld County typically runs 8-12% depending on county mill levy. Recent legislative reforms have shifted the tax credit structure; verify current treatment for any specific valuation. The tax is borne by the operator and netted before royalty is calculated, so realized prices on your check are post-tax.

Closings on Weld 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.
