OIL SHALE CORPORATION C/O CONOCO PHILLIPS COMPANY · Rio Blanco County, CO
Needs review means a record exists that requires verification. No record means nothing is on file — which is not an all-clear.
Sits over producing oil & gas — confirm whether the minerals convey with the surface.
Action plan for this parcel
- 1.
Verify mineral severance vs surface-only ownership
Criticalminerals0 producing wells on the parcel. In CO, surface and mineral rights are commonly severed — pull deed history to confirm what's actually owned. If minerals are reserved to a prior owner, royalties flow to them; if conveyed with surface, royalties + lease bonuses go to the current owner.

RecommendedrebateAcross state, county, and local sponsors — up to $1,000 stackable. Includes Colorado Wildfire Mitigation Income Tax Credit; Forest Restoration and Wildfire Risk Mitigation (FRWRM) Grant.
- 3.
Verify owner mailing address is current
OptionalcomplianceOwner of record is out-of-state. If you are the owner, ensure your county assessor has a current mailing address — undelivered tax bills are the most common precursor to tax-lien foreclosure.
Acrescope presents data and surfaces actions — it does not provide financial, legal, tax, or insurance advice. Confirm with a qualified professional before incurring costs.

Wells are matched to the parcel by proximity to its centroid, not by surveyed boundary — a well listed here can sit on an adjacent parcel. Descriptive, not legal advice — confirm the permit location, decreed use, and yield with CO DWR before relying on them.
