Question 1

I haven't received a check in a few months. Why not?

Accepted Answer

Revenue distribution checks are cut on or about the 25th of every month. Checks must meet the minimum release requirements as stated on your division order, usually $100. All suspense is released in December each year regardless of the amount.

Question 2

I have agreed to the terms and conditions of the website but when I log in I cannot find my detail. Why not?

Accepted Answer

If you have royalty interest that is directly deposited to your bank account you should be able to retrieve your check stub through the Interest Owner Relations page. If your distribution is not directly deposited into your bank account you may not be able to retrieve your detail via the site. 
Please note: We offer direct deposit into your bank account. Using this service would eliminate the above matter. If you wish to use our direct deposit service you can find the necessary forms and information on the LOG IN page found in the site navigation bar.

Question 3

How do I know if the interest on my division order is correct?

Accepted Answer

Royalty interest is typically 12.5% of the revenue received from oil and gas sales. To calculate your interest you would take your acreage divided by the total acreage in the unit and multiply by 12.5%. The result will be the decimal interest stated on your division order. 
                (Ex:  You own 5 Acres in a 100 acre lease.   5/100*0.125=.00625)
