Sell mineral rights in Weld County
Weld County, valued by people who read the rock.
Weld County is the most active oil county in Colorado by a wide margin — which is exactly why its mineral owners get the thickest stack of unsolicited offers in the Rockies. More wells means more mail, not always more clarity.
The lay of the land
Owning minerals in Weld County.
The horizontal Niobrara and Codell underneath Weld have been drilled in dense, multi-well pads since the early 2010s, so a single quarter-section can carry interests across several wells of very different vintages. That layering is where rushed offers go wrong: they price your newest well and quietly ignore the older ones, or vice versa. We read the whole spacing unit before a number goes on paper.
Around Greeley, Platteville, and Ault, much of the acreage is held by families who farmed it for generations and severed — or never severed — the minerals along the way. Colorado’s regulator, now the Colorado Energy & Carbon Management Commission (the ECMC, formerly the COGCC), publishes well and permit data we use to show you what your specific section is carrying, whether or not you ever sell.

Common questions
Asked by Weld County owners.
I get a new offer for my Weld County minerals almost every week. How do I know what’s real?
You compare them against your actual production, not against each other. Most Weld offers are a percentage of the same public well data anyone can pull — we show you that data and our math behind it, so a fair offer is obvious and a low one is too. Reading it costs you nothing and commits you to nothing.
My Weld minerals sit under several wells drilled in different years. Does that change the value?
A lot. Newer Niobrara/Codell wells are still high on their decline curve; older ones have flattened but throw a longer, steadier tail, and some units have room for additional infill wells. A good valuation prices each well on its own curve and adds the upside — not a single blended guess.
