As Fractional mineral rights owner how do I know when they start drilling and producing?

http://www.dep.wv.gov/oil-and-gas/Pages/default.aspx That is the official site. The production does not have to be reported by the companies until the end of March of the following year. Thus anything drilled and produced in 2010 does not have to be reported until March 31, 2011. http://www.dep.wv.gov/oil-and-gas/GI/Pages/WeeklyReports.aspx The above will get you the weekly reports, 3 different things, loosely arranged by county and the permit number.
