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

It depends on the wells and units actually touching your tract, their decline, and your decimal, and in Fremont County that ranges widely, so county averages mislead. We value off the actual wells and activity and show the work, free. My family's royalty checks stopped years ago. Where did the money go? If the operator could not find the owner, Colorado treats the money as abandoned after three years and the operator sends it to the Great Colorado Payback at the State Treasurer, where it waits under the owner's name. Search it under every family spelling, then look at whether the well is still producing; often both the suspense money and the interest itself are worth recovering. I own the surface. Can I do anything about a severed mineral interest nobody claims? Colorado lets a surface owner ask the county assessor to put a severed mineral interest on the tax roll under C.R.S. 39-1-104.5, which means the mineral owner starts getting a tax bill and, if it goes unpaid, the interest can go to tax sale. It is a slow and procedural route, not a shortcut, and the mineral owner can stop it by paying. If you are the mineral owner on the receiving end of one of these bills, pay it and call us. What does it cost me to sell? Nothing. Berlin pays all title work, document preparation, and recording costs.
