Dear Mr. Cotton,
Thank you for your reply. We sent a certified copy of the mineral deed filed at our county courthouse. As you say, this probably is not enough proof. The oil company seems to be reluctant to move on this. We will follow your advice. Thank you again.

Dear Ms Bristo,
If you can prove that you hold title to that acreage, furnish your proof to the oil company.
Proof would consist of an Abstract of Title, along with a title opinion rendered by a competent oil and gas attorney.
If you have no proof, but a suspicion, ask the oil companies’ division order department how they arrived at the number to which you are credited.
Best
