[Get a Free Valuation](https://www.berlinroyalties.com/free-valuation/) or call or text [918-984-1645](tel:9189841645) Boulder County has some of the strictest local oil and gas rules in Colorado and about a hundred old wells that predate them, which makes it a county of two kinds of owners: families along the Weld County line whose Wattenberg-edge royalties still pay, and everyone else, whose minerals under Boulder, Longmont or the foothills are worth something only on paper. The Draco pad is the first thing in years to change that math, and only for a few square miles under Erie. **What produces here.** ECMC production reports for June 2026 show Boulder County at 2,117 barrels of oil and 35,121 Mcf of gas from 99 wells reporting production, Niobrara-Codell and J Sand wells on the county's eastern edge. The operators on the reports are Crestone Peak Resources Operating and Extraction Oil and Gas, both Civitas subsidiaries that became part of SM Energy when that merger closed on January 30, 2026; KP Kauffman also holds wells in the county that reported no production. The ECMC approved the Draco oil and gas development plan on March 26, 2025 by a 4 to 1 vote, 26 horizontal wells from a Weld County pad reaching into Boulder County, and the operator's pooling applications for the Draco units were pending before the ECMC as of September 2026. Boulder County itself reported in April 2026 that no new development has occurred in the unincorporated county since 2012. 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, and in Boulder County that is an unusual question: most of the county has no production and no prospect of it, while the eastern strip around Erie and Lafayette sits on Wattenberg-edge wells and, now, the Draco unit. A Draco-area tract and a Lyons tract are not the same asset. We value off the actual wells and the actual unit and show the work, free. Will anything ever be drilled under my Boulder County minerals? Inside unincorporated Boulder County, probably not. The county's Article 12 oil and gas regulations, rewritten after SB 19-181 and effective December 15, 2020, put any new well through a Special Review that no operator has attempted; the county said in April 2026 that no drilling application has been filed since 2011 and that 43 wells have been plugged since 2022. The exception is the Draco pad: it sits in Weld County, so Boulder County had no say, and its 26 laterals extend into Boulder County under Erie. SM Energy withdrew its original Draco pooling application on August 28, 2026 and refiled with two smaller drilling units, and those pooling dockets were pending in the fall of 2026. If you got a pooling notice, that is why. 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.
