Las Animas, Hasty, McClave: we buy minerals and royalties throughout Bent County, Morrow and McClave gas on the Las Animas Arch.
Bent County produces gas and nothing else: Morrow and McClave wells on the Las Animas Arch that have been declining for years and lost a third of their monthly volume over the first half of 2026 alone. If you own a royalty here it is probably small, probably old, and probably worth more than the silence you have gotten from other buyers suggests.
What produces here. ECMC production reports for June 2026 show Bent County at no oil and 6,809 Mcf of gas from 11 wells reporting production, Morrow sand gas plus one McClave zone well; the county was reporting about 10,000 Mcf a month from 15 wells at the start of 2026, so the decline is visible month to month. The operators you will see on checks and in the county records are Strachan Exploration and Thomas L. Spring; Renegade Oil and Gas holds wells that reported no production. No new drilling permits or development plans for Bent 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? Start with inherited mineral rights in Colorado.
