I also have not yet taken a lease and would be interested in who you signed with and what the terms were. Thanks.

Tim,
Have you ended up leasing? If not I just signed a lease with very favorable terms. If interested I xan get you connected with my contact.
Tim Byerley said:
My family has 324 acres in T7 R89W, which I believe is East of yours, but still in the "neighborhood". $50 is a common starting point, but you should be able to get considerably more. A lot of the mineral rights in that area are in the $250 per acre range.
Good luck.

I recently received an unsolicited 5 yr. lease offer from Yates Petroleum Corp. on mineral rights (40 net acres) I own in Moffat County in T9N R92W at $50/acre. Anybody have any information on the interest /activity in that area and whether the $50 is reasonable or not. Thanks.
My contact with CoreLand is: Robb Cooper at 601-622-8838. You can also e-mail him at: r.cooper@Corelandresources.com.
If CoreLand is not interested in your property, he may be able to tell you who might be that you could contact. I wouldn't expect an immediate reply since, like all the other companies currently trying to get leases completed, CoreLand has been very busy, but you can call and leave him a voice mail as well.

Thank you Tim for the information. I would be interested in your contact information. We don't know until we ask.
It seems that there's a lot of shenanigans going on with some companies, and I need to research all avenues for my family.
Thank you.
For those of you who might want to know why Moffat County (and other Colorado Counties as well) has become so hot for oil leasing you might want to get a free copy of Rock Talk, Volume 13, Number 1, Spring 2011 that was published by the Colorado Geological Survey (303-866-2611). It is titled “Colorado’s New Oil Boom - the Niobrara” and provides lots of valuable, but very readable, information that helps to explain why landsmen are so interested in your mineral rights.
Here is a link to the PDF version. Interesting read.

There is an article on page 39 in the May 2011 issue of the Oil and Gas Financial Journal entitled “Oil Companies Ramp Up Operations in Liquids-rich Niobrara Shale Play” that relates in part to Colorado. While it is talks about northeastern Colorado, I don’t think the Niobrara in northwestern Colorado is unrelated.

I own 420 acres, some of which is where Juniper Hot Springs is, and I'd like to know if there's anyone that lives in the area, knows what's going on? Last November I got a phone call from someone at SWEPI LP wanting to lease it, so I leased it to them. What I'm interested in, is whether or not they are drilling yet. If anyone knows, please let me know. The legal description is as follows:
Township 6 North, Range 93 W: Section 14 SWNE, SE Section 23 N2/NE Section 24 NWNW
(320 acres)
TOWNSHIP 6 North, Range 94 West: Section 8 Lot 2 Section 17 Lots 2,6 (160 acres)
Thanks to anyone who can help! :-)

Nancy,
I'm located close by, near Camp Union in the Seabeck area. We have mineral rights in Moffat county, Colorado. We just signed a lease also and will soon be looking for this type of information. I'll pass on any thing I find.

Does anyone know anything about the oil company Kaiser-Francis working with gas in Moffat County? Thank you.

On the COGCC site you can see that there is no activity in those two twp at this time. My family has minerals just above yours and they are starting to drill with permits and pending permits seen.

I find this all worrisome and wonder how it all turned out. Who was your landman? Dianne
My mother has inherited mineral rights in Moffat County, which have been leased by Kaiser-Francis Oil for maybe 50 years. There are two small producing gas wells on the property. However, other oil companies have approached her and want to lease specific areas of the acreage not being used in production by Kaiser-
Francis; specifically Township 7, Sections and 4, Range 90, Township 8, Section 3, Township 9, Township 10, and section4 Lot 5 and Lot 6. Supposedly geologists have disovered minerals those specific areas and several different oil companies over the years have tried to "top lease" them, however, Kaiser-Francis Oil won't allow that, yet nor will they explore and extract what others seem to believe is there, It would sure be helpful to my mother who is 89 if somehow someone could help her with this. I just don't understand why Kaiser-Francis isn't drilling those specific unused areas. Any ideas, thanks. DF AGEE (google Agee Gulch)

Where is your land located again? Dianne

After giving it some serious thought, after the holidays I finally signed a lease extension agreement with Shell. Bonus was $250.00 per acre with 10% upfront, 90% balance due by August 2011 (when the current lease expires), and 17.5% royalty. As you may recall, we had formerly leased with East Resources who was acquired by Shell last year. Shell's landman from Houston kept the dialogue going, as the previous three offers made to us were not acceptable. The landman I've been working with is Chris Foster and he is located in Houston. His cell phone number is 281-691-2223, and his E-mail address is Chris.Foster@shell.com.
You might contact him directly if you're not having any success with the other intermediaries.

Ask for $450.00/acre with 17.5 or even 18%. Sounds greedy, but I think you’ll find it’s worth it. Dianne

Has anyone filed their own papers at the Clerk and Recorder's Office in Moffat? I live out of state and just had my mother's will probated in the state she died in. It was such a simple will and it took our attorney in Montana over 7 months to get the paper signed by the judge. I got a list of the documents that the county will accept for proof of ownership. The problem is, I don't want to wait another 7 months for our attorney to figure out how to get them filed in Moffat. I would like to do this myself but I understand they have to go through the CO court system to be certified. How do I do that?
Dianne - the Clerk and Recorder’s office will record most any document you send them - for a very small fee. Call them; it is something like $11 for the first page and maybe $2.00 for each additional page. They will return it to you with a ‘book’ and ‘page’ number - so you know exactly where and when it was recorded. I have recorded my father’s death certificate, quit claim deeds, treasurer’s deeds, etc. I too live in MT - Bitterroot.

When I spoke to the person in the filing office, they said the documents had to be certified by CO before filing. Are you saying that you just sent them in and they recorded them .... for a fee, of course.

I don’t know what kind of papers you have - that require certification by the state of CO. # or last name and I will give you a call over the wkend. Seems like between this and the Shell mess you have had a major headache.

Dianne,
Your really not supposed to file a copy of a document unless it is certified. You can file the original documents or contact the court clerk's office in Montana or where the probate was filed and tell them you need certified copies sent to you. They may ask for you to send payment in advance, normally $1 per page for copies and another $1 or more for a certification (an embossed stamp) then send everything to Moffat county recorder's office with filing fee. You can file some documents as attachments but file the trustees deed separate. I would only get a copy of the letter of testamentary and the trustee"s deed and only file those to save money as the other documents don't need filed in Moffat and probates can be many pages and cost a fair amount for copies and filing fees.
