DENVER A company long controlled by a prominent Greeley-area farming family is suing Denver-based energy producer PDC Energy Inc. (Nasdaq: PDCE), alleging that it was underpaid royalties for production on its property for 25 years.
In the complaint filed Monday in Denver County District Court, Farr Farms Co. claims that it has consistently been paid less than what it is owed in royalties based on the market price of the oil because the Denver-based company deducted midstream and downstream costs from the farms’ payments without proper disclosure.
The lease for the minerals was first enacted in 1981. PDC acquired that lease in 2005 from a now-defunct oil producer. The suit does not specify how much Farr Farms claims it is owed.

The University of Denver has sued the city over a fee it paid in connection with the construction of a new residence hall.
The nonprofit private school argues in a lawsuit filed last week in Denver County District Court that it should be exempt from paying the city’s Affordable Housing Linkage Fee, which in its case ran $232,000.
That fee is assessed by the city on projects that are deemed to cause a need for new affordable housing. The university is arguing that its residence hall did not prompt any additional need, and in fact added more housing to the broader market by lessening the amount of DU students living off campus.
