I am wondering if anyone who is receiving a royalty check from Andarko and they are taking out gathering costs ~ about (15% )even if you have an addendum to their lease titled Market Enhancement states. 

  (Statoil is not taking this cost out) of check 

It is agreed between lessor and lesee that notwithstanding any language herein to the contrary, all oil ,gas or other proceeds accuring to the lessor under this leaseor by state law shall be without deduction, directly or indirectly,for the cost ofproducing gathering,storing,seperating,treating,dehydrating,compressing,

transporting, and marketing

the oil ,gas products producedhereunder totransform the product into marketable form:  however,any such costs which result in enhancing the value of the marketable oil,gas or other products to receive a better pricemay be deducted from lessors share of production so long as

they are based on lesse's actual cost of enhancement.  However,in no event shall lessor receive a price that is les, than the price received by lessee. 

Statoil is not taking out gathering deductions
