Where We Buy · Colorado · Lincoln County

Sell your Lincoln County mineral rights.

Hugo, Limon, Genoa: we buy minerals and royalties throughout Lincoln County, Spergen and Morrow oil on the southeast edge of the Denver Basin.

Lincoln County surprised people. The ground around Hugo and Limon was wheat and cattle with a few old Morrow wells until the Spergen oil play arrived over the last fifteen years, and now it is one of the steadier small oil counties on the eastern plains, worked by private operators you have probably never heard of unless their name is on your check.

What produces here. ECMC production reports for June 2026 show Lincoln County at 18,540 barrels of oil and 4,553 Mcf of gas from 55 wells reporting production, led by Spergen, Cherokee and Osage oil. The operators you will see on checks and in the county records include Polaris Production Opco, Wiepking-Fullerton Energy, Grand Mesa Operating, Mull Drilling, P O & G Operating, Citation Oil and Gas and Plateau Petroleum. On the permitting side, the ECMC approved Great Plains Energy Operating's Great Plains Extension development plan on August 7, 2024 and Vecta Oil and Gas's Einspahr plan on December 4, 2024; Great Plains' 2-23 Marquis drilling permit was approved January 23, 2025 and Vecta's 5-32 Einspahr permit in the Broken Spear field on September 10, 2025.

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.

Questions

Straight answers for Lincoln County owners

What are mineral rights worth in Lincoln County?
It depends on the wells and units actually touching your tract, their decline, and your decimal, and in Lincoln County that ranges widely, so county averages mislead. We value off the actual wells and activity and show the work, free.
Can I be force pooled in Colorado?
Only after owners of more than 45 percent of the mineral interests to be pooled have joined the application, under SB 19-181, which gives an unleased owner far more leverage than in Oklahoma or Texas. A nonconsenting owner receives a 13 percent royalty on gas or 16 percent on oil during the operator's cost recovery, and the operator may not use a nonconsenting owner's surface.
My parent died owning Colorado minerals. How do they get into my name?
A decree of heirship or a personal representative's deed from the probate, recorded in the county where the minerals sit, is what moves inherited Colorado minerals; a will alone does not. Colorado also allows a beneficiary deed, which lets a living owner name who takes the minerals at death without probate, so check whether one was recorded before assuming an estate must be opened. We read the chain free and tell you what is missing.
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.
