Where We Buy · Colorado · Adams County ## Sell your Adams County mineral rights. Brighton, Commerce City, Bennett: multi-bench Niobrara and Codell development on the southern edge of Wattenberg, under a lot of suburb. [Get a Free Valuation](https://www.berlinroyalties.com/free-valuation/) or call or text [918-984-1645](tel:9189841645) Adams County is the southern and southwestern extension of Wattenberg, with multi-bench Niobrara and Codell development from large pads. All of it is fee minerals with no federal checkerboard, and ownership is heavily severed and fragmented beneath suburban subdivisions. The stacking is the valuation story. Niobrara A, B, and C plus Codell are co-developed here, and the well naming makes it obvious. A tract with one producing well frequently supports several more. A mail merge offer prices your current check and assigns the undrilled benches zero, which on Adams County acreage is usually most of the value. When we underwrite here we count remaining locations by bench, state the probability we applied, and show you the work. The second variable is regulatory. Since SB 19-181, local governments have independent siting authority and may impose requirements stricter than the state's. Adams adopted its own regulations in 2019, and Commerce City, Brighton, Thornton, and Aurora each add review. A 2,000 foot setback from occupied buildings applies. That does not touch producing interests, but it does discount undeveloped acreage in restrictive jurisdictions, and it should show up in the number rather than being ignored. SB 19-181 also cuts your way if you are unleased: an operator now needs owners of more than 45 percent of the interests to have joined a pooling application before the commission can force pool the rest, and non-consent royalty during payback rose to 13 percent on gas wells and 16 percent on oil wells. Colorado also follows the first marketable product rule under Rogers v. Westerman Farm Co., so gathering and compression to make gas marketable are not deductible. Send us a legal description.

County totals. Source: Enverus, as of 2026-08-17. Rigs are currently active; permits are those approved in the last 90 days; completions are wells reporting first production in the last 90 days, which lags by state. A zero does not mean nothing is happening, only that nothing was reported in that window. Activity like this is exactly what moves mineral value. If it is happening near you, find out what your interest is worth before you take anyone's offer. Formations & Plays ## What produces here ### Niobrara A, B and C benches Developed from single pads across multiple benches. Well names here make the stacking explicit. ### Codell Co-developed with the Niobrara and frequently left out of a valuation entirely. ### Muddy J and D Sand A large legacy shallow gas well population that reflects historic vertical drilling rather than current activity.

Questions ## Straight answers for Adams County owners Is my Adams County acreage stacked? Yes, and this is where most of the valuation disagreement lives. Niobrara A, B, and C benches plus Codell are co-developed from single pads here, and the well names make it explicit, with designations like 3BH, 4AH, and 4BH on the same lease. Multiple wells per tract is the base case rather than the exception. An offer computed as a multiple of your current royalty check counts none of the undrilled benches, and on Adams County acreage that is frequently most of what you own. Who operates in Adams County now? SM Energy, though records still show Crestone Peak Resources Operating and Extraction Oil and Gas as operator on many wells. Civitas absorbed Bonanza Creek, Extraction, Crestone Peak, Tap Rock, and Hibernia, and SM Energy closed its all stock merger with Civitas on January 30, 2026, keeping the SM name. Chevron holds the legacy PDC Energy position and is active on several pads. Occidental and Kerr-McGee, K.P. Kauffman, and Bison IV are also present. Does the city my minerals are under matter? Genuinely, yes, and this is the post SB 19-181 reality in Colorado. Adams passed a six month moratorium in March 2019, adopted its own regulations that September, then lifted it, and municipal layers in Commerce City, Brighton, Thornton, and Aurora each add siting review on top. A 2,000 foot setback from occupied buildings applies. A tract in unincorporated Adams County and a tract inside a restrictive municipality are not the same asset even with identical geology, and any honest valuation of undeveloped acreage has to account for it.
