Colorado Mineral Rights Weld County, CO
1

Hi all, posted this yesterday, but cannot find it anywhere and it should be in the Weld County discussion thread anyway.

My mom and her 2 sisters inherited 160 acres of mineral rights in Township 10; Range 65 West; Section 6. They were leased by Chesapeake @ $500/acre a couple of years ago. Looking at the COGC website all of the wells seem to be a ways south of there. There are a few wells in surrounding areas - the nearest producing is the ‘mousetrap’ well in the adjacent NW section. No permits that I could see for drilling close by either. There is a SW to NE dense zone of wells through Greeley area - but we are a bit north of that.

My question is - does there appear to be any drilling heading that direction? It will be worth seeing what happens when the lease terms expire. We plan on keeping it in a trust and just waiting anyway, as it was inherited.

Any help with understanding more, or communication with people who have nearby property and your experiences/research would be helpful.

Thank you for any input.

I am replying to my own post. Just looking for someone with knowledge of the County and maybe a land man/woman or someone with knowledge of the County and the prospects and developments in mineral exploration there.

Thanks for any input!

This Township is an area of low resistivity. I do not anticipate any drilling to occur in this area anytime soon.

Are you a landperson - or mineral rights owner? Just curious. What is resistivity? Gary H also looked at the engineering and geologicals for this area and said the same thing. Basically - hope they do seismographs or testing of some kind at some point. Probably a long time if ever they would do that. Maybe generations down the road. Maybe if Natural Gas price skyrockets again someone will lease it when the current lease ends in a few years?? Hopefully.

thanks for the input. Much appreciated.
