Where We Buy · New Mexico · Union County

Sell your Union County mineral rights.

Clayton, Des Moines, Folsom: we buy minerals and royalties throughout Union County, in the Bravo Dome CO2 field.

Union County is Clayton, the ranches around it, and the Bravo Dome CO2 unit underneath. The royalty checks here have come from carbon dioxide, not oil, since the 1980s, and they still arrive every month for families who have long since moved to Amarillo or Denver. Nobody mails them an honest number for it.

What produces here. Carbon dioxide from the Bravo Dome Tubb sandstone reservoir, with Oxy USA as the only operator in the county. MineralAnswers put Union at about 2 million Mcf for May 2026, second only to Harding among the non-Permian gas counties. The Des Moines CO2 field in the northwest of the county is inactive. Production peaked at 110.9 Bcf in 1996 and was 29.5 Bcf in 2022.

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. Send a Kinder Morgan or Oxy check stub and we will read the unit and the contract behind it. Inherited it?

Questions

Straight answers for Union County owners

What are mineral rights worth in Union County?
It depends on the wells and units actually touching your tract, their decline, and your decimal, and in Union County that ranges widely, so county averages mislead. We value off the actual wells and activity and show the work, free.
These are CO2 royalties. Are they valued like oil and gas?
No, and most buyers do not know the difference. Bravo Dome and the Colorado CO2 domes produce gas that is roughly 97 to 99 percent carbon dioxide, sold by pipeline to Permian Basin enhanced recovery projects under long term contracts, priced per Mcf of CO2 rather than off Henry Hub. The checks are steady, the decline is slow, and the value turns on the contract and the unit's remaining life rather than on a commodity curve. We price them that way and show the arithmetic.
How long will the Bravo Dome checks last?
Longer than most oil wells, but they are shrinking. Union County CO2 production peaked at 110.9 Bcf in 1996 and was 29.5 Bcf in 2022, a slow decline that mirrors the field's pressure. Oxy USA is the only operator in the county. Bravo Dome supplies more than 20 percent of Union County's tax revenue, and about two-thirds of the unit's minerals are privately owned, so these are real family royalties with decades of history and a known decline curve, which is exactly what makes them valuable to price honestly.
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.
