I have mineral interest in the above referenced sections of Howard County. Approx. 462 net acres. I was trustee of a trust, before that held them then became an owner. I last heard anything on the property when I leased in 2012 for a 3-year term. Before, there was always mail once a year: tax, offers, royalties, etc. I have not so much as received a tax bill in years, and this has caused some concern. My brother sold his 462 acres in 2013, 2014. But I kept mine, but it’s like they’re not there. I look on the county appraiser site and nothing shows. Is there any activity in any of those sections? If so, that tells me I should be getting a tax bill, or something is a foul. NEED TO BE POINTED IN RIGHT DIRECTION. Would like to lease them if possible.
Rodney, if you only own the minerals (and not the surface) you will not get a tax statement unless you are receiving royalties. All I see in that Section 15/Block 25/A-25 is plugged oil wells, 1 plugged gas well, and a couple of permitted locations from years ago that were never drilled. I see no producing wells at this time so no royalties being paid out.

Rodney, in Block 26 I see possibly 2 producing wells. Well 36256 in Section 15. And well 3636 in Section 38.

These 2 vertical wells were drilled in 2009 and 2010. The producer at this time is Apache Corp. I hear that Apache is a good company to do business with. You might want to call Apache and give them the lease numbers I have supplied and find out who the royalties are being paid to. Production on these 2 wells is minimal.

Thank you very much!!!
It was Section 5, in Block 25 I was mistaken
I would assume the production is not mine, I only own in the W/2 of Section 38. I noticed the horizontal sites in the corner of Section 17, right next to my Section 16, but it doesn’t show the direction of these horizontal wells. I will be contacting Apache to see if there is any info on Section 15 well.
