Where We Buy · Colorado · Moffat County

Sell your Moffat County mineral rights.

Craig, Dinosaur, Maybell: we buy minerals and royalties throughout Moffat County, in the Sand Wash Basin.

Moffat County is the Sand Wash Basin, a stacked-pay corner of northwest Colorado where the same tract can hold Weber oil, Mesaverde gas and Niobrara potential. The units are old and the operators are mostly large, which means the division orders have been through several hands and the royalty owners have rarely been shown the math.

What produces here. Sand Wash Basin production from the Wasatch, Fort Union, Lance, Lewis, Mesaverde, Niobrara, Frontier, Mancos, Dakota, Entrada and Weber. MineralAnswers put the county at about 21,000 barrels of oil and 429,000 Mcf for April 2026. Operators include Wexpro (the Hiawatha, Ace and Jacks Draw units), Hilcorp, Anschutz (Coyote Federal), SWN Production, Beeman, Peakview and Petroleum Resource Management, which had three WPU permits approved on February 11, 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.

Questions

Straight answers for Moffat County owners

What are mineral rights worth in Moffat County?
It depends on the wells and units actually touching your tract, their decline, and your decimal, and in Moffat County that ranges widely, so county averages mislead. We value off the actual wells and activity and show the work, free.
Does Moffat County have its own drilling rules?
Yes. Moffat County reviews every application for permit to drill alongside the state ECMC filing and requires proof of a surface owner agreement, which gives a surface owner more say than in most Colorado counties. For a mineral owner it means the operator has to have the surface settled before the well is permitted, which can slow development on split-estate tracts.
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.
I live out of state. Does Colorado withhold on a mineral sale?
Yes. Colorado withholds 2 percent of the sales price when a nonresident sells Colorado real property for more than $100,000, and minerals are real property. We disclose the figure before closing rather than letting it surprise you on the settlement statement.
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.
