Sell Mineral Rights in Warren AFB, WY
The base itself sits on federal ground, but the ranch land that surrounds it went to homestead patent generations ago, and that's where the mineral interests we buy actually sit.
F.E. Warren Air Force Base has occupied this ground west of Cheyenne since 1867, and the installation itself doesn't carry private mineral rights - the federal government holds what's under the fence line. What we work is the land around it: the old ranch sections along the Laramie County line that got patented out under the Homestead Act and later the 1862 railroad grant, then passed down through families for a hundred and fifty years.
Laramie County sits on the northern edge of the DJ Basin, the same Niobrara and Codell trend that's been active south into Colorado. It's not the drilling density you see closer to the Colorado line, but the mineral interests are real, they're recorded at the Laramie County Clerk's office in Cheyenne, and plenty of them are still held in small fractional shares by heirs who've never set foot on the property.
Why Ownership Here Looks the Way It Does
The Union Pacific's original transcontinental grant ran straight through this part of Laramie County - odd-numbered sections to the railroad, even to the federal government, the classic Wyoming checkerboard. Warren AFB itself was withdrawn from that pattern early and went military. But drive a few miles off base and you're back in the checkerboard, ranch land bought up from the railroad or homesteaded on the government sections, minerals frequently severed from the surface at some point along the way.
That severance history is the whole reason a title search matters before anyone signs anything. A family that's ranched the same quarter section since the 1930s might hold full mineral rights, or they might hold none, with a distant cousin's estate controlling a sliver interest instead.
What We're Actually Buying
Non-producing mineral interests in Laramie County near the base, small fractional shares inherited from a ranch estate, and old royalty interests tied to DJ Basin activity to the south and east. Most of what comes across our desk here is undeveloped or lightly held - no active well, just a mineral deed sitting in a family file since the 1960s.
We also look at interests complicated by probate, where heirs in three states can't agree on next steps and nobody wants to keep tracking a county tax notice for ground they've never seen.
How the Offer Gets Built
We pull the deed history at the Laramie County Clerk's office in Cheyenne, confirm your net mineral acreage against the legal description, and check DJ Basin activity trends before we put a number in front of you. If there's no production history, that offer reflects speculative value tied to basin activity, not a guaranteed payout - we say that plainly, because anyone promising you a locked-in price without checking the record first isn't being straight with you.

Resolve the Record Question Before It Reaches the Deed
The base itself holds federal mineral rights under the installation, but land adjoining it is private, and mineral ownership there depends entirely on the deed and severance history for that specific parcel. We check the record before we say anything definitive.
This part of Laramie County sits on the northern flank of the DJ Basin, well behind the core Niobrara activity further south. Values here typically reflect basin-wide trends rather than an active well on the lease.
Yes. Estate-derived fractional interests are common in this county, and we work directly with heirs, including cases where the interest hasn't been formally probated yet.
We weigh net mineral acres, DJ Basin activity trends, and any historical lease or royalty data tied to the tract. Undeveloped interests get a range tied to that activity, not a fixed promise.
