Sell your Sublette County mineral rights.

Sublette County holds the Pinedale Anticline and Jonah Field, two of the largest tight gas accumulations in the Rocky Mountains, with roughly 6,801 producing wells out of about 12,647 drilled. Jonah Energy operates all of Jonah and has authorization for roughly 3,500 more wells across the 141,000 acre Normally Pressured Lance area. PureWest operates Pinedale. ExxonMobil, Hilcorp, Denbury, Breitburn, and Wexpro are also here.

Two things about owning minerals in this county are unusual enough to state plainly.

First, fee minerals are scarce. The Pinedale Anticline Project Area is roughly 80 percent federal surface, 5 percent state, and 15 percent private, and Jonah Field is about 98 percent BLM managed. Most people who receive Sublette County checks hold federal lease royalty rather than fee minerals in the ground. Those are different assets and they convey differently, so the first thing we do is establish which one you have.

Second, the stacking here is vertical tight gas rather than horizontal shale benches. A single wellbore penetrates hundreds of feet of stacked Lance and Mesaverde sands, and Jonah's productive section is divided into five pay intervals. Value accrues per wellbore, which means the right question is how many more wells your spacing supports rather than how many formations are present.

Wyoming protects your royalty from production cost deductions by statute, imposes no individual income tax on your gain, and has no dormant mineral act. Send us a check stub or a legal description and we will tell you what you own and what it is worth.
