FOR COLORADO RESIDENTS
We help Colorado residents sell mineral rights in the Delaware Basin and Permian Basin areas of New Mexico. Your neighbor state—but still out of reach for easy management.
Get Your Free Written OfferColorado and New Mexico share a border, but that doesn't make managing New Mexico mineral rights from Denver any easier. The producing areas of southeastern New Mexico (Lea and Eddy counties) are over 400 miles from Denver—about the same distance as Dallas.
Many Colorado residents own New Mexico minerals through inheritance, past investments, or industry connections. Denver-based operators are very active in the New Mexico Permian, so Colorado residents often have professional ties to the Delaware Basin. But even if you understand the geology, managing these assets remotely has challenges:
New Mexico-specific mineral and pooling laws
Different regulatory framework than Colorado
New Mexico Oil Conservation Division vs. COGCC
New Mexico income tax filings for royalty income
We buy minerals throughout New Mexico. The state's oil and gas production is concentrated in specific areas:
The western portion of the Permian Basin, one of the most active drilling regions in North America. Counties: Lea, Eddy. Multiple pay zones: Wolfcamp, Bone Spring, Avalon.
Southeast New Mexico shares the prolific Permian Basin with West Texas. Same geology, same operators, same value potential.
Northwest New Mexico natural gas production. Counties: San Juan, Rio Arriba. Closer to Colorado but a mature basin with legacy production.
Production also occurs in Chaves, Roosevelt, and other counties with varying levels of activity.
Colorado and New Mexico are neighboring states, but the geography is deceptive. The San Juan Basin in northwest New Mexico is relatively close to Colorado (it actually extends into Colorado), but the high-value Delaware Basin production in southeastern New Mexico is a full day's drive from Denver.
Many Denver-based operators run significant Delaware Basin operations, creating a strong professional connection between the two states. Colorado residents may own New Mexico minerals through:
Industry employment: Worked for a Denver company with NM assets
San Juan Basin history: Family connections to the Four Corners region
Inheritance: Family owned ranch land or minerals in southeastern NM
