Consolidated Royalty Oil Company.

The Consolidated Royalty Oil Company was organized in September, 1917 and headquartered in Casper, WY. Among the company's founders were B.B. Brooks (Ex-Governor of Wyoming), Clarence B. Richardson (a successful Cheyenne banker and oil operator), and Roderick N. Matson (attorney and judge from Cheyenne). The company acquired royalties and leases in oil and gas companies; it did not drill for oil. The company held interests in the Big Muddy Field, Salt Creek, Tisdale Oil Field, and the Grass Creek Field. Other royalty interests included Billy Creek, Wallace Creek, and acreage in California, Texas, Kansas, and Montana. In the 1960s, the company entered into liquidation which was completed by 1970.
