Quick answer — Does Buckhead Energy buy mineral rights in Logan County, Colorado?
Logan County sits in Colorado's northeastern corner along the South Platte River and the Nebraska line, with Sterling as its county seat and Merino, Iliff, Crook, Fleming and Peetz as its smaller towns. It lies on the northeastern flank of the Denver-Julesburg (DJ) Basin, well east of the Weld County horizontal core. Buckhead Energy analysis of public oil and gas data counts more than 3,900 wells of record across about 170 named fields, more than 600 of which have produced oil or gas. Most were shallow vertical wells drilled to the D and J sands of the Dakota Group near 5,000 feet, and a few dozen were active producers as of October 2026.
First production of record in Logan County dates to 1951, early in the 1950s development of the D and J sands across northeastern Colorado. Fields such as Pawnee Creek, Yenter, Merino, Graylin Northwest, Padroni West, Little Hoot and Cliff produced from those sands. Nearly 1,800 wells were spudded in the county during the 1950s alone. Exploration was intense: close to half of all wells in the county were wildcats, and the large majority have since been plugged. Drilling continued at a slower pace through the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s, and only about 37 wells have been drilled in the county since 2010, so most Logan County production comes from long-lived legacy wells.

Logan County's operator base is small. By count of active producing wells, Brown Oil & Gas Company and Impetro Resources hold the largest positions, followed by Citation Oil & Gas and Chaco Energy Company. East Cheyenne Gas Storage operates gas storage wells at the Peetz West field, which are not royalty-producing oil and gas wells. Many different companies have operated Logan County wells over the decades, so a single interest may have paid through several operators.
Most Logan County production comes from decades-old vertical wells rather than new development. Close to half of the county's wells were wildcats, and most wells of record have been plugged. Whether a particular interest is producing, leased or open depends on the recorded deeds, leases and reservations for that tract.
