Mesa County is the southern Piceance Basin, sharing the Williams Fork and Mesaverde stacked lenticular sand character with Garfield County to the northeast, plus Cameo coal, Wasatch, and a small horizontal Mancos program that has produced real if modest results.

The first question here is not geology, it is ownership. Federal leasing dominates the productive fairway, with substantial BLM and Grand Mesa National Forest acreage. A Mesa County owner is more likely to hold a federal lease royalty than a fee mineral interest, and those convey differently. Fee minerals do exist in meaningful quantity in the Grand Valley around Fruita, Palisade, and Loma, and in Plateau Valley. We establish which you have before we talk about price, and that research is free.

Piceance Energy, Laramie Energy's operating entity, is the principal operator, describing itself as the third largest Piceance operator by production, reserves, and acreage. QB Energy, SWEVCO-SABW, and Fees Jr and Son are also present. Activity is modest, with roughly 22 permits filed across a two year window.

As in Garfield, the Piceance development pattern means owners commonly hold very small decimals spread across many wells, which makes verification laborious and makes most buyers decline the transaction. We buy small interests, run our own title, and pay all closing costs.

Colorado follows the first marketable product rule under Rogers v. Westerman Farm Co., so the costs of making gas marketable fall on the operator. And Colorado withholds 2 percent of the sales price on nonresident sales of real property over $100,000, which we disclose before closing. Send a statement.

Questions

## Straight answers for Mesa County owners

Do I own fee minerals in Mesa County or a federal lease royalty?
Check, because a Mesa County owner is more likely to hold a federal lease royalty than a fee lease. Federal leasing dominates the productive fairway here, with substantial BLM and Grand Mesa National Forest acreage, alongside meaningful fee minerals in the Grand Valley around Fruita, Palisade, and Loma and in Plateau Valley. Those are different assets with different transfer requirements, and we establish which you hold before quoting anything.

Who operates in Mesa County?
Piceance Energy, which is Laramie Energy's operating entity, is the principal operator. Laramie describes itself as the third largest Piceance operator by production, reserves, and acreage, focused on Rio Blanco, Garfield, and Mesa Counties. QB Energy Operating, SWEVCO-SABW, and Fees Jr and Son are also present. Activity is modest, with roughly 22 permits filed across a two year window.

Is there horizontal Mancos potential here?
Some, and it has been tested rather than merely proposed. Wells carrying horizontal Mancos and Niobrara designations have cumulated in the range of 600,000 to 670,000 Mcf. That is a real result but a small program, and we price undeveloped deep rights as option value with a stated probability rather than promising them. Anyone assigning full value to unproven Mancos under your acreage is overselling it.
