Question on Mineral Rights offer

Forced pooling affects your negotiations in CO. Take the time to review recent Oil and Gas Leases that are filed of record in or near your tract. This will provide you with royalty rates, time, and possible addendum options. In the cases where OGL Memos are filed, take the time to try and contact the Lessors and ask them to share their OGL terms. @Tim_Brough is correct that royalty rates only matter if a well is drilled, so consider that as a real factor in your negotiations. The size of your interest can also provide some leverage, or not for small interests, in negotiations. Reach out to other companies in your area to create a more active market.

The more work you are willing to put in will directly affect the resulting OGL. Good luck.
