[Get a Free Valuation](https://www.berlinroyalties.com/free-valuation/) or call or text [918-984-1645](tel:9189841645) 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?

It depends on the wells and units actually touching your tract, their decline, and your decimal, and in Archuleta County that ranges widely, so county averages mislead. We value off the actual wells and activity and show the work, free. Are my Archuleta County minerals tribal, federal, or fee? All three exist in the county. The Southern Ute reservation's trust minerals are leased and probated federally and largely developed by the tribe's own Red Willow Production Company. Federal minerals are leased by the BLM. Fee minerals around Pagosa Springs, Arboles and Chromo pass through Colorado probate and are the ones a private buyer can purchase. The chain of title tells us which you hold, and we read it free. Can I be force pooled in Colorado? Only after owners of more than 45 percent of the mineral interests to be pooled have joined the application, under SB 19-181 and C.R.S. 34-60-116, which gives an unleased owner far more leverage than in Oklahoma. Nonconsenting owners receive a 13 percent (gas) or 16 percent (oil) royalty during cost recovery, and the operator may not use a nonconsenting owner's surface. How does Colorado severance tax hit my royalty? Colorado's severance tax is graduated from 2 percent to 5 percent of gross income, with an ad valorem credit for property taxes paid at the well (65.625 percent of gross income times the prior year mill levy from 2026) and a stripper exemption for oil wells under 15 barrels a day and gas wells under 90 Mcf a day. The effective statewide rate was about 1.7 percent in 2022. Operators normally withhold it, and royalty owners file their own Colorado severance returns. What does it cost me to sell? Nothing. Berlin pays all title work, document preparation, and recording costs.
