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 San Juan County — common for tracts under leases held by major operators with carried-out royalty structures.
Yes. San Juan 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 Cane Creek, Ismay, and Desert Creek formations.
The most active operators we track in San Juan County include Resolute Energy, Fidelity Exploration. We regularly buy interests held under leases with these operators.
San Juan County sits in the Uinta Basin, where the primary target is cane creek / ismay. Here we underwrite the Cane Creek, Ismay, and Desert Creek formations.
San Juan County, Utah sits in the Paradox Basin in southeastern Utah and produces oil and gas from the Paradox formation, Ismay/Desert Creek, and selective shallow intervals. Production is moderate; operator activity is selective. The county also has substantial mineral resources beyond oil and gas (potash, uranium) that are outside our scope.
A significant portion of San Juan County, Utah overlaps the Navajo Nation. Tribal mineral interests are administered under federal law and BIA processes. We do not buy tribal mineral interests. Fee minerals in non-reservation portions are handled through the standard Utah process.
Selectively. The Paradox Basin has been a moderate-activity area for several decades with periodic flurries of drilling activity. Current operator interest is modest. Producing royalty interests in established Paradox wells trade at multiples reflecting the mature decline; unleased acreage value depends on the specific township.
Closings on San Juan 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.
San Juan County sits in the Uinta Basin, where operators are targeting cane creek / ismay. Activity is led by names like Resolute Energy, Fidelity Exploration, and new drilling continues to shape the play across the Cane Creek and Ismay 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.
San Juan County is a selective buying area — we consider interests here on a case-by-case basis depending on tract location and lease status.
Monthly production has held within a normal band over the last year, suggesting steady development without a recent completion wave.
