The tribe owns lands that total approximately 1.2 million acres (4,855 km 2) of surface land and 400,000 acres (1,600 km 2) of mineral-owned land within the 4 million acres (16,185 km 2) reservation area. [1] Other parts of the reservation are owned by non-Ute, as the tribe lost control of much of the land during the allotment process.
The Tribe holds a triple A credit rating with all three primary rating agencies. Oil & gas, and real estate leases, plus various off-reservation financial and business investments, have contributed to their success. The tribe owns the Red Cedar Gathering Company, which owns and operates natural gas pipelines in and near the reservation. [65]
