Wray, Yuma, Eckley: we buy minerals and royalties throughout Yuma County, in the shallow Niobrara gas field.
Yuma County is the opposite of the DJ Basin's headlines: no horizontals, no billion-dollar deals, just a shallow Niobrara chalk gas field that has paid small royalty checks to Wray and Yuma farm families for fifty years. It is the kind of interest the big buyers do not want and the formula buyers underprice, which is exactly why we do.
What produces here. Shallow biogenic Niobrara chalk gas. Own Resources Operating, which bought its first Wray asset in July 2018, now runs about 3,500 shallow wells producing roughly 34 MMcf a day gross with its own gathering, and Duke Gas Company is the other operator of note. MineralAnswers put the county at about 830,000 Mcf for April 2026. No new permits were issued between November 2025 and May 2026, which is normal for a field in long, flat decline.
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.
Shallow, fracture-stimulated chalk gas near the Kansas line, produced since the mid 1970s from thousands of small wells at 30 to 40 percent porosity, 10 to 20 MMcf per well over a long life.
