A Unique Situation for Colorado Residents

Colorado is unique among states. You have your own significant oil and gas production in the DJ Basin and Niobrara, so you likely understand minerals better than residents of non-producing states. But that doesn't mean you want to manage mineral rights in Texas, Oklahoma, or New Mexico from Denver or the Front Range.

Many Colorado residents own out-of-state minerals through inheritance or because they worked in the oil and gas industry in other basins before relocating to Colorado. Managing these distant assets can be frustrating even when you understand the industry:

Different operators and lease terms than you're used to

State-specific mineral laws you may not know

Division orders and documents requiring signatures

Small monthly checks that aren't worth the administrative burden

Filing tax returns in multiple states

If any of this sounds familiar, you have options. Many Colorado residents choose to sell their out-of-state mineral rights for a lump sum—converting a distant, fragmented asset into immediate capital.

Where Are Your Minerals Located?

We buy mineral rights in all major oil and gas producing states. Select your state for specific information:

Why Colorado Residents Sell Their Out-of-State Mineral Rights

Focus on Local Assets

Consolidate holdings: Manage minerals in one state, not four

Known operators: Work with companies you already know

Single tax filing: Eliminate multi-state returns

Industry Transitions

Career moves: Moved to Denver for industry job, kept old minerals

Retirement: Simplify holdings after leaving the industry

Portfolio cleanup: Sell scattered interests, reinvest locally

Estate Planning

Easier division: Cash divides more cleanly than fractional minerals

Avoid complications: Out-of-state assets complicate probate

Protect heirs: Don't burden children with distant assets

Financial Goals

Immediate capital: Fund investments, property, or other goals

Reduce complexity: Fewer assets to track and manage

Lock in value: Convert future uncertainty to present cash

Denver: The Energy Headquarters Hub

Denver is one of the nation's largest oil and gas headquarters cities. Many operators with Permian Basin, Midcontinent, and Rocky Mountain assets are based here. This means many Colorado residents have industry connections to other basins—and may own minerals in states where their company operates.

Whether you acquired minerals through work, investment, or inheritance, your industry experience means you understand the value proposition of selling. We provide fair, transparent valuations to Colorado's energy-savvy residents.

Questions We Hear from Colorado Residents

Absolutely. We know Colorado has a sophisticated, industry-savvy population. Our valuations are transparent and based on the same data you'd use: production history, decline curves, type curves, permit activity, and comparable transactions. We're not looking for uninformed sellers—we provide fair offers to knowledgeable owners.
Managing minerals locally is easier—you know the operators, understand the regulations, and can attend hearings if needed. Out-of-state minerals require dealing with unfamiliar operators, different state laws, and additional tax filings. Many Colorado owners keep their DJ Basin minerals while selling interests in Texas, Oklahoma, or New Mexico.
Colorado has a flat state income tax (currently 4.4%) that applies to capital gains. When you sell out-of-state minerals, you may owe tax to both the state where the minerals are located AND Colorado (though Colorado typically provides a credit for taxes paid to other states). A CPA familiar with multi-state mineral transactions can help you plan.
Each heir can sell their individual interest independently—you don't need all heirs to agree. If you want to sell and others don't, you can sell just your share. We frequently work with families where some members sell and others keep their interest.
New Mexico is a neighbor state, but the producing areas (Lea and Eddy counties in the Delaware Basin) are still 400+ miles from Denver. You're dealing with different operators, New Mexico-specific regulations, and New Mexico tax filings. Geographic proximity doesn't eliminate the administrative burden of out-of-state ownership.
