What are your Weld County mineral rights worth?

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.

What drives value The factors that actually move the number

What your minerals are worth depends on a few things.

Producing or not.

A producing interest is valued from its actual decline and check history. A non-producing interest is about the odds and timing of future drilling. The two are weighed very differently, and which one you hold changes everything.

What we do: Start from what is actually happening on your tract, not a national average.

Where you sit in the field.

The Wattenberg core behaves differently from the edges of the DJ Basin. Offset wells, operator activity, and the stacked Niobrara and Codell benches beneath you all feed the number.

What we do: Look at the activity in your section and the wells around you.

Your lease and your fraction.

The royalty rate, the deduction language, and the exact fraction you own all shape what reaches you, and therefore what the interest is worth.

What we do: Walk you through how each piece factors in, and how we got to a number.

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 walk you through what we see, how we got to a number, and what your options look like. No written report required, just a straight answer.

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 roots in Montana and Texas. We focus on one kind of work: helping people who own or 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.

Do I get a written valuation or appraisal? +

What you get is a conversation. We walk you through what we see on your tract and how we arrived at the number, on a call or by email, in plain language. We are not a licensed appraisal firm and we do not hand out formal written valuations, because what actually helps an owner is understanding the reasoning, not a piece of paper with a figure on it.

Why do online calculators give a different number? +

Generic calculators use rough national averages that can be far off for any specific Weld County tract. Value here depends on whether you are producing, exactly where you sit in the Wattenberg, your lease terms, and the activity around you. We start from your specific situation instead of an average.

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, and the ECMC keeps the operator and production data. Between those records we can typically piece together what someone owns even when the family does not have anything in hand.
