Cañon City, Florence, Penrose: we buy minerals and royalties throughout Fremont County, home of the Florence field, the oldest oil field west of the Mississippi.
Fremont County is where Colorado oil started. The Florence field has been pumping since 1881 from a shale that nobody would drill on purpose today, and the wells that are left produce a few barrels a day each for a handful of local operators. Royalties here are small, old and split many ways, which is exactly the kind of interest most buyers will not bother to figure out.
What produces here. ECMC production reports for June 2026 show Fremont County at 992 barrels of oil and no gas from 28 wells reporting production, all of it Pierre Shale oil from the Florence field; the county reported 1,408 barrels from 38 wells in May 2026. The operators you will see on checks and in the county records include Javernick Oil, Incremental Oil and Gas (Florence), Cinnamon Creek Oil and Gas, San Marco Petroleum and Ausco Petroleum. No new drilling permits or development plans for Fremont 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.
Discovered in 1881 south of Florence after oil seeps near Cañon City were worked from the 1860s, the field produces from fractures in the Pierre Shale and has yielded more than 15 million barrels from more than 1,200 wells, dozens of which still pump.
Javernick Oil, Incremental Oil and Gas (Florence) and Cinnamon Creek Oil and Gas run the remaining wells, many of them inside or next to the town of Florence itself.
Wherever your tract sits in Fremont County, we will research it free and value it with the work shown.
