AJ .. My lease does have it clearly spelled out (basically, so a child could read and understand it), but not as your describing above. My problem is that with Devon I never had any problem reading their statements, but White Star has me completely confused as to what the heck they're doing and whether or not if they're deducting any post production costs. Not only that, which I've read others complaining too about nothing ever seems to match up on the OTC gross productions, and they seem never be able to keep it current! Sometimes I've been tempted to think that this may be a way to keep us all confused about how much they're really producing, but I'm sure NO OIL COMPANY would ever think about cheating the lowly little royalty owner .. now would they .. haha
