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

Bent County is dry gas with a declining well count, so value turns on gas price, on how many years the Morrow wells have left, and on whether your tract is actually in a producing unit. County averages mislead at this scale. We value off the actual wells and show the work, free. How does Colorado severance tax hit my royalty? Colorado's severance tax is graduated from 2 percent to 5 percent of gross income, with a credit for the ad valorem property tax paid at the well and a stripper exemption for oil wells producing under 15 barrels a day. Operators normally withhold it, and royalty owners file their own Colorado severance returns. 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. What does it cost me to sell? Nothing. Berlin pays all title work, document preparation, and recording costs.
