With horizontal drilling and fractioning techniques now in play, can anyone comment on the status of the potential in east central Colorado (El Paso, Elbert, Lincoln, Baca counties)? There has been a lot going on up in Weld county and it has all been linked to the Niobrara formation. There seems to be an uptick of activity in eastern colorado with respect to signing up leases but I am not sure about the specific geology and the potential. We have mineral rights in Lincoln county and a family member is getting into the landman side of the business. Thank you so much.
I would also like any comments or information in regards to east central Colorado. My father and I have some property in El Paso county and were contacted by an Oil Company offering an Oil and Gas Lease. We’re not even sure if we have the mineral rights to our property. We can’t find anything via online courthouse records or in title policy that says we don’t, but we’re still not sure. Regardless, I would like to know if anyone knows of oil or gas being found out there?
