Holden Royalties is a privately-held mineral acquisition company focused exclusively on the Denver-Julesburg (DJ) Basin in Colorado. We are active buyers with the capital, expertise, and local knowledge to evaluate and acquire mineral interests quickly and fairly.
The DJ Basin is one of the most active oil and gas basins in the United States, with operators consistently drilling and developing new wells across northeastern Colorado. We concentrate solely on this region — giving us a depth of knowledge that generalist buyers simply cannot match.
Our acquisition focus includes:
We believe mineral owners deserve straightforward, honest information about the value of their assets. We don't use pressure tactics or manufactured urgency. We provide our analysis, make a fair offer, and give you the time you need to make a considered decision. Because our pricing is tied to current commodity markets, offers carry a stated validity period — but we will always be transparent about that upfront.
Our acquisition program is active in the following Colorado counties within the Denver-Julesburg Basin:
We are interested in both producing and non-producing mineral interests in these counties.
Major operators continue to drill and develop new wells across the DJ Basin. This ongoing activity supports the long-term value of mineral interests in the region.
The Niobrara and Codell formations have produced billions of barrels of oil equivalent, with well-established production histories and predictable decline curves.
The DJ Basin benefits from extensive pipeline, gathering, and processing infrastructure — reducing development risk and improving economics across the basin.
Our focus on a single basin means we understand the geology, operators, regulatory environment, and market dynamics at a level of depth that generalist buyers cannot match.
