Pagosa Springs, Arboles, Chromo: we buy minerals and royalties throughout Archuleta County, in the northern San Juan Basin.
Archuleta County is the quiet northern edge of the San Juan Basin, where the Fruitland coal comes to the surface and the gas wells are old, small and numerous. The royalties are modest and the ownership is a patchwork of tribal, federal and fee minerals, which is why most buyers skip the county and why the owners here rarely see a number.
What produces here. Northern San Juan Basin gas, principally Fruitland coalbed methane and Dakota, with MineralAnswers putting the county at about 7,900 barrels of oil equivalent a day in April 2026, roughly 1.4 Bcf for the month. Operators include Catamount Energy Partners (the Bull Creek Unit), Simcoe LLC, Morningstar Operating at Navajo Lake, Petrox and Energen, with the Southern Ute tribe's Red Willow Production Company running more than 1,800 wells across its lands.
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. Free, no obligation, and no pressure: if keeping it is the right answer, we will say so. Inherited it? Start with inherited mineral rights in Colorado.
