If you receive a check from Dolores County minerals, it is a CO2 royalty, and it deserves to be valued as one rather than run through an oil formula that does not fit. **What produces here.** Carbon dioxide from the Doe Canyon Deep unit, about 53,000 acres, operated by Kinder Morgan CO2 Co LP and producing since 2008, with 12 producing wells reporting 1.6 Bcf in June 2026. The county raises 64 percent of its tax revenue from the field. There is no meaningful oil or natural gas production. 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 Dolores County that ranges widely, so county averages mislead. We value off the actual wells and activity and show the work, free. These are CO2 royalties. Are they valued like oil and gas? No, and most buyers do not know the difference. Bravo Dome and the Colorado CO2 domes produce gas that is roughly 97 to 99 percent carbon dioxide, sold by pipeline to Permian Basin enhanced recovery projects under long term contracts, priced per Mcf of CO2 rather than off Henry Hub. The checks are steady, the decline is slow, and the value turns on the contract and the unit's remaining life rather than on a commodity curve. We price them that way and show the arithmetic. Is there oil and gas drilling in Dolores County? Not in any volume. Dolores County's production is the Doe Canyon Deep CO2 unit, with a single operator, Kinder Morgan, and twelve producing wells. If your family minerals are inside that unit you receive CO2 royalties on a long-term contract; if they are outside it, they are quiet and we will tell you honestly what that is worth. 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. The offer you accept is the amount you receive. ## Before you sign anything in Dolores County The things owners here most often wish they had read first.
