[Get a Free Valuation](https://www.berlinroyalties.com/free-valuation/) or call or text [918-984-1645](tel:9189841645) Solano County is the center of California's dry gas business, such as it is. The Rio Vista field has produced since 1936 and still does, the Montezuma Hills are dotted with small gas fields that most buyers have never looked at, and in 2026 the field's operator filed to drill more wells than this part of the state has seen in years. Gas royalties here are small, long-lived and finally worth paying attention to. **What produces here.** CalGEM's 2023 annual report, the latest county table it has published, put Solano County at 1,019,017 Mcf of gas and 1,491 barrels of oil for the year. CalGEM's WellSTAR records as of November 2026 show 62 active wells: California Resources Production Corporation's 22 Rio Vista gas wells, Vesta Oil and Gas's 21 Lindsey Slough wells, Lodi Gas Storage's 17 Kirby Hill storage wells and Royale Energy's 2 Denverton Creek wells. In November 2026 CalGEM released a draft environmental study for California Resources' Rio Vista Well Development Project, 83 new natural gas wells in the Rio Vista field, 39 of them in Solano County, to tie into the existing gathering system. Whatever you own here, producing royalties, non-producing acreage, or an inherited fraction split among family, we will identify it from whatever paperwork you have, value it off the actual wells and activity, and show you the reasoning with the offer.

[Unclaimed California royalties](https://www.berlinroyalties.com/unclaimed-royalties/california/): where the money goes and how an heir claims it. ### The California mineral owner's guide Everything a California owner needs in one place: who owns what under state law, how royalties must be paid and by when, what a buyer can and cannot deduct, the tax treatment of a sale, and the deadlines that quietly cost people their minerals. Free, and no sign-up. [Read the California guide](https://www.berlinroyalties.com/guide/california/) Questions ## Straight answers for Solano County owners What are mineral rights worth in Solano County? This is dry gas country, so value turns on gas price, on the slow declines these Sacramento Basin fields run, and on your decimal in the lease, not on oil headlines, and in Solano County that ranges from a few dollars a month to a real income, so county averages mislead. Send a statement and we will run the actual calculation with the reasoning shown, free. How fast does a California operator have to pay royalties? California has no royalty payment deadline statute, so the lease governs: whatever payment timing, interest and audit rights are in the lease are what you have, and an old lease often says very little. The practical remedy is a written demand to the operator's owner relations department citing the lease, and if the money is simply sitting in suspense because of a death or an address change, that is usually solved with paperwork rather than a lawyer. We read the lease and the stub free. Can I lose California minerals by not doing anything with them? Yes, and it is the one California rule every absentee owner should know. Under Civil Code 883.210 to 883.270 a surface owner can go to court to terminate a severed mineral right that has been dormant for 20 years, meaning no production, no lease, no recorded instrument and no taxes paid on it. The cure is cheap: record a notice of intent to preserve the mineral interest in the county, which restarts the clock. If you inherited non-producing California minerals and nobody has recorded anything since the 1990s, do that first and then call us. What does it cost me to sell? Nothing. Berlin pays all title work, document preparation, and recording costs. The offer you accept is the amount you receive. ## Before you sign anything in Solano County The things owners here most often wish they had read first.
