[Get a Free Valuation](https://www.berlinroyalties.com/free-valuation/) or call or text [918-984-1645](tel:9189841645) 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?

It depends on the wells and units actually touching your tract, their decline, and your decimal, and in Yuma County that ranges widely, so county averages mislead. We value off the actual wells and activity and show the work, free. Why are my Yuma County gas checks so small and so steady? Because that is the field. Yuma's Niobrara chalk wells each produce a modest 10 to 20 million cubic feet over their lives, spread over decades, and there are more than 3,500 of them. The result is thousands of small royalties that never stop, which the volume buyers price worst because the formula letters assume decline curves that do not apply here. We price the actual history of your wells. 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. 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 and C.R.S. 34-60-116, which gives an unleased owner far more leverage than in Oklahoma. Nonconsenting owners receive a 13 percent (gas) or 16 percent (oil) royalty during cost recovery, and the operator may not use a nonconsenting owner's surface. What does it cost me to sell? Nothing. Berlin pays all title work, document preparation, and recording costs.
