Ask for Nicholas. He probably answers.

Before you reach out

Just curious or ready to sell? It starts with an honest conversation.

No pressure, ever

Ask what something means, get a number, and walk away if you want. Plenty of people reach out just to understand what they inherited.

Straight answers, even when it costs us

We tell you what we honestly see, including if you'd be better off waiting. A fair number means more to us than a fast one.

Ready to move when you are

Already have an offer or just want to sell? We talk real numbers and close without the runaround. Serious buyers, no wasted time.

Three situations Most callers find us in one of these

Most people find us the same way.

You just inherited.

A parent or grandparent passed and the estate paperwork mentions mineral rights in Weld County. You are not sure what you have, where exactly the minerals are, or whether they are leased, producing, or held by production.

What we do: Pull the records, identify the tract, explain what we find in plain English.

An offer arrived in the mail.

A solicitation, often without context, sometimes with a deadline. The number could be reasonable or it could be far below market. You want a second opinion before you respond, and you do not want to be sold to.

What we do: Tell you whether the offer is fair, regardless of whether we make a competing one.

You just want to understand.

No probate, no offer, no deadline. You have held minerals for years and the checks have been changing in ways you do not entirely follow. You want a calm conversation with people who work the basin.

What we do: Walk through what you own, what is happening on it, what your options actually are.

The geography What we already know about your tract

We know this county because we work it.

Weld County is the core of the DJ Basin, and the DJ Basin is the most productive oil and gas play in Colorado. Most of the activity we see runs across Townships 1N to 10N, Ranges 60W to 68W, with the heaviest concentration in the Wattenberg Field.

Underneath your tract you likely have stacked targets: the Niobrara A, B, and C benches at roughly 6,500 to 7,500 feet, the Codell Sandstone below that, and in some areas a deeper Greenhorn interval. Operators have been infill-drilling these benches with horizontals for the better part of a decade.

Pooling, drilling spacing units, ECMC permits, and unit declarations all happen on a regular cadence here. We read them as they post, so when you tell us where your minerals are, we already have a picture of the activity in your section.

The process Four steps, no surprises

How we work, end to end.

You reach out

A short call or a form, your choice. Just enough so we can find your tract. No documents required to start.

We look at your minerals

We pull the records, look at the operator activity around you, and put together a picture of what you have and what is happening on it.

We share what we find

A direct conversation, not a sales pitch. We tell you what we see and what your options look like. If it makes sense, we give you a number. If it does not, we tell you that too.

You decide

Hold, sell, get a second opinion, sit on it. Whatever feels right. We are happy to be useful even if you walk away.

The office Family-owned, focused on the work

A family office, built for the long view.

Timberline is a family-owned mineral rights office with deep roots in the Rockies and the western US. We focus on one kind of work: helping people who have inherited mineral rights figure out what they have, and what their options actually are.

We do our own research. We pull our own records. We read the pooling orders, permits, and operator filings personally. When you talk to us, you are talking to people who actually work this basin, not a sales layer between you and the answer.

We move at the pace of the conversation. Honest information first, then time to think, then a decision when you are ready. We would rather lose a deal than close one you regret.

Common questions The four we hear most often

What people usually ask first.

Is there a cost? +

No. There is no charge for us to look at your mineral rights and walk you through what we find. We do this because it is often the first step to a potential purchase, but you are under no obligation to sell to us after we share our findings. If the number does not make sense for you, that is fine.

How long does it take? +

For a Weld County tract where we have good information, we can usually turn around an analysis in two to five business days. More complex situations, multiple tracts, severed estates with unclear title, or older records can take a week or two. If you need something faster for a specific deadline, let us know and we will work with your timeline.

Do I have to sell if I get a number? +

No. People sit on the number for weeks, months, sometimes longer. People decide to hold and never call us again. All of those are fine. The only thing we ask is that you do whatever feels right for your family.

What if I don't have any of the original documents? +

This is the most common situation we see. People inherit a passing reference to "minerals in Weld County" and nothing else. A name and a rough location are usually enough for us to start. The Weld County Recorder keeps the deed and lease history. The ECMC keeps the operator and production data. Between those two records and a few other public sources, we can typically piece together what someone owns even when the family does not have anything in hand.
