Baca County is the southeast corner of Colorado, and geologically it belongs more to the Oklahoma and Kansas gas country than to Denver. A few Red Cave, Keyes and Morrow gas wells still produce, CIG stores pipeline gas in the old Flank field, and most of the mineral estate under the dryland wheat is non-producing, held by families whose grandparents signed the first leases decades ago.

**What produces here.** ECMC production reports for June 2026 show Baca County at 361 barrels of oil and 4,006 Mcf of gas from 14 wells reporting production, gas from the Red Cave, Keyes and Topeka zones and a little Morrow oil. The operators you will see on checks and in the county records include West Texas Operating (doing business as Xtreme Energy), Joemar Wyoming Operating and Colorado Interstate Gas, whose Flank storage field wells are reported here; Berexco, Sandlin Oil and Murfin Drilling hold wells that reported no production. No new drilling permits or development plans for Baca County appeared in the ECMC's active permit data as of November 2026.

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?

Questions

## Straight answers for Baca County owners

What are mineral rights worth in Baca County?
Baca County production is thin, so value here is mostly about leasing and about whether the Hugoton-edge gas trend ever reaches your section. County averages are meaningless at this scale. We will tell you plainly what the interest is worth today and what it would take to change that, 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, which gives an unleased owner far more leverage than in Oklahoma or Texas. A nonconsenting owner receives a 13 percent royalty on gas or 16 percent on oil during the operator's cost recovery, and the operator may not use a nonconsenting owner's surface.

I own the surface. Can I do anything about a severed mineral interest nobody claims?
Colorado lets a surface owner ask the county assessor to put a severed mineral interest on the tax roll under C.R.S. 39-1-104.5, which means the mineral owner starts getting a tax bill and, if it goes unpaid, the interest can go to tax sale. It is a slow and procedural route, not a shortcut, and the mineral owner can stop it by paying. If you are the mineral owner on the receiving end of one of these bills, pay it and 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.
