next, do the math and verify that your doi number is accurate.
next, check the math on your royalty check stub.
check the price on your checkstub against a historical settlement index for that month. it should be close, but the actual sales price will almost never be exactly the same as any published index. only an audit will verify accuracy to the greatest degree achievable.
when production numbers are published by the state, check you royalty volumes against those numbers. again, there will be discrepencies, but they should be minor.

you should get division orders before checks.

AboutWhat makes this site so great? Well, I think it's the fact that, quite frankly, we all have a lot at stake in this thing they call shale. But beyond that, this site is made up of individuals who have worked hard for that little yard we call home. Or, that farm on which blood, sweat and tears have fallen. [ Read More ]  |
