Where We Buy · Colorado · Larimer County ## Sell your Larimer County mineral rights. Fort Collins, Loveland, Berthoud: the northwest margin of the DJ, where the real story is an operator shutdown and fifty wells being plugged with state money. [Get a Free Valuation](https://www.berlinroyalties.com/free-valuation/) or call or text [918-984-1645](tel:9189841645) Larimer County sits on the northwest margin of the DJ Basin, and the honest summary is that it is mature, contracting, and carrying an active plugging problem. The headline issue is operator failure. Prospect Energy, which operated the Fort Collins Field with 49 Larimer wells including 10 inside Fort Collins, had its right to do business in Colorado cancelled by the Energy and Carbon Management Commission in August 2024 following illegal flaring, spills, and failed integrity tests. Fines of $1.7 million were waived to fund cleanup, all its wells are to be shut in, and the Attorney General sued to enforce. Roughly 50 Larimer wells are being plugged with $5.2 million in state funds. That matters directly to an owner: there is a real probability that a Larimer County interest described as producing is attached to a well that is headed for plugging. We verify well status before assigning any value to current production, and we tell you what we find. A buyer who does not check that is either not looking or is counting on you not to. What remains is legacy conventional oil at the Fort Collins, Wellington, Loveland, and Berthoud fields, some producing since 1928, plus limited Niobrara and Codell potential in the southeast corner. Roughly 107 wells produce out of 799 total. Bison IV, Magpie Operating, and Blackrock Energy are among the operators. Local restriction is also real. Larimer adopted new regulations in April 2020 and Berthoud's moratorium has persisted since 2019, and under SB 19-181 local siting authority can be stricter than the state's. Send us a statement and we will verify the wells before quoting anything.

Is there horizontal drilling potential in Larimer County? Only marginally, and only in the southeast corner toward Johnstown, Berthoud, and Windsor. The rest of the county is legacy conventional oil from the Fort Collins, Wellington, Loveland, and Berthoud fields, some of it dating to 1928, and those are single zone rather than stacked. Roughly 107 wells produce out of 799 total. Larimer is a mature and contracting county and we price it that way. Can my minerals be developed given local restrictions? Often not. Larimer adopted new oil and gas regulations in April 2020. Fort Collins' fracking moratorium was struck down by the Colorado Supreme Court in 2016 but the field stayed unattractive regardless. Berthoud's moratorium, first passed in May 2019, has persisted. Under SB 19-181 local governments have independent siting authority and may be stricter than the state. For undeveloped Larimer acreage that is a substantial discount and an honest valuation has to apply it. Free Valuation ## Find out what your Larimer County minerals are worth.
