It depends on the wells and units actually touching your tract, their decline, and your decimal, and in Huerfano 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 coalbed methane production in Huerfano County? Not currently. The Raton Basin coals do extend into Huerfano, but the county's reported production is carbon dioxide from Oxy's Sheep Mountain and Dike Mountain units, and no coalbed methane operator appears in the county's production table. If an old lease on your family land promised gas royalties that never arrived, that is why, and we can tell you whether the lease is still alive. 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.
