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 Laramie County — common for tracts under leases held by major operators with carried-out royalty structures.
Yes. Laramie 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 Laramie County include EOG Resources, Devon Energy. We regularly buy interests held under leases with these operators.
Laramie County sits in the Denver-Julesburg Basin, where the primary target is niobrara / codell. Here we underwrite the Niobrara and Codell formations.
Last-six-month volumes in Laramie 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.
Yes. Laramie County is on our active buy list. We respond to offer requests within 48 hours and underwrite both producing and non-producing tracts.
Laramie County, in the southeast corner of Wyoming, is part of the Denver-Julesburg (DJ) Basin and has seen meaningful Niobrara and Codell horizontal drilling activity. The county sits north of the Colorado DJ core (Weld County) but shares the same Cretaceous source-rock geology. Per-acre values track DJ Basin economics, modulated by where in the county the tract sits and by the specific operator running the program.
Wyoming has a compulsory-pooling statute that allows operators to integrate non-consenting interests into a drilling unit on terms set by the Wyoming Oil & Gas Conservation Commission. If your Laramie County interest is forced-pooled, you receive a royalty (typically 1/8) plus an option to participate in the well or take a payout-plus-risk-penalty. We can review pooling orders affecting any specific tract during underwriting.
Wyoming accepts probated wills from other states (ancillary probate is sometimes required for full title clearance). For older inheritances, an affidavit of heirship plus a recorded determination of descent typically suffices for mineral transfers. We coordinate title work at our cost during closing and can guide the ancillary-probate question if it comes up.
Closings on Laramie 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.
Laramie County sits in the Denver-Julesburg Basin, where operators are targeting niobrara / codell. Activity is led by names like EOG Resources, Devon Energy, and new drilling continues to shape the play across the Niobrara and Codell formations.
We buy mineral rights throughout Laramie County, including Cheyenne, Pine Bluffs.
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.
Laramie County is on our active buy list. Recent production reflects more legacy decline than new completions, but we still underwrite producing tracts and review unleased acreage case by case.
Production has softened over the last six months compared with the prior six — typical of a county with more legacy production than fresh drilling.
