Hi Chuck. How have you found Statoil to work with? We hear our lease may be acquired by them and just curious about their reputation with land owners.

hi...they have had interest in my lease for a couple years....I had a division order question in 2014...after an email went unanswered I called them....it took about 3 weeks to get a return call..,,we then traded phone calls...my question did get answered via my jan 2015 royality statement so I never actually talked to any one directly...... chesapeake's 1099 documents  YTD gross royalities, taxes and other deductions withheld...their monthly statements give you MTD totals re the same 3 items and MTD net royalities ...to date Stat's 1099 only has the gross royality for the year...their monthly statement  only has MTD totals for net owner value for the month...I have to go through the statement well by well to calculate MTD totals for gross royalities, taxes and deductions....chuck

Who knows! 

I live in WV and Chesapeake, who owns 66%, has been taking out 4.6% "Production Tax". It is on the back of my 1099, but not listed in any of the boxes on the front.

Stat Oil, who owns 33%, takes out 5.5% Tax, but does not show it anywhere on my 1099
