Re: Request for Title Information for Oil and
Gas Leases
Dear Ms. Pool:
This letter is in response to your letter dated March 3, 2003,regarding oil and gas leases between
Pool Oil and Gas, LLC, and Weld County, dated March 13, 2002, and Floyd H. Miller and Weld
County, dated October 27, 1999. Those leases are recorded in the Office of the Weld County
Clerk and Recorder at Reception Numbers 2945263 and 2730666,respectively.
You ask in your letter if Weld County has any title information regarding the County's mineral
ownership. You also inquire how and when Weld County acquired these mineral interests.
Please be advised that the records of the Clerk to the Board of County Commissioners contains
no title information regarding the mineral interests involved in these two leases. Furthermore,
the files contain no information as to when or how the mineral interests were obtained by the
County. It is rare that Weld County will have such information. Most, if not all, of the oil and
gas leases held by the County are entered into by the Board at the request of the lessees. The
County does not warranty its ownership of such minerals.
Please feel free to call me at(970) 356-4000, ext. 4390, if I may f any further assistance.
