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 Converse County — common for tracts under leases held by major operators with carried-out royalty structures.
Yes. Converse 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 Frontier, Turner, Niobrara, and Parkman formations.
The most active operators we track in Converse County include EOG Resources, Devon Energy, Chesapeake Energy, Anschutz Exploration. We regularly buy interests held under leases with these operators.
Converse County sits in the Powder River Basin, where the primary target is turner / niobrara / shannon tight oil. Here we underwrite the Frontier, Turner, and Niobrara formations.
Yes. Converse 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.
Converse County sits in the southern Powder River Basin and is the most active Wyoming county for current oil and gas drilling. The Niobrara, Turner, Mowry, and Frontier are the most active intervals, with stacked-pay development across multiple zones. Operators have built significant continuous-development positions in the active townships. Bonuses and royalty multiples for Converse County interests are typically the highest in Wyoming for unleased acreage.
Wyoming imposes a 6% severance tax (4% on stripper wells) plus county-level ad valorem (typically 6-8%), for a combined burden often in the 12-14% range — among the highest in the country. The tax is borne by the operator before royalty is calculated, so realized prices on your check are post-tax. A Converse County royalty check on the same gross production as a comparable Texas tract will typically pay meaningfully less due to the higher Wyoming tax burden.
Federal-mineral interests (BLM-administered) are common in Wyoming and are leased and managed under different rules than fee minerals. We typically do not buy federal-mineral interests. If your tract is a mix of fee and federal minerals, we underwrite only the fee portion. Many Converse County tracts have a mix; checking the BLM and Wyoming State Land records on your specific tract clarifies the breakdown.
Closings on Converse 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.
Converse County sits in the Powder River Basin, where operators are targeting turner / niobrara / shannon tight oil. Activity is led by names like EOG Resources, Devon Energy, Chesapeake Energy, and new drilling continues to shape the play across the Frontier and Turner formations.
We buy mineral rights throughout Converse County, including Douglas, Glenrock.
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.
Converse 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.
