There is no meaningful per-acre basin average — value depends on your county, your specific tract and decimal interest, current production and decline, and the operator activity around you. As of 2026-07-08, the DJ Basin counties we track show 979 recent drilling permits and 2,762 drilled-but-uncompleted wells — activity that directly affects what buyers pay. A written offer is how you find out what YOUR interest is worth.
Direct buyers, brokers, and funds all work the DJ Basin — it attracts more buyer competition than any tier of geography except the county level. Vet any buyer on objective criteria: direct purchase with their own capital, verifiable track record, written no-obligation offers, and buyer-paid closing costs.
