Just confirmed with Contango that they sold my wells in Logan County, Oklahoma to Great Horned Owls, LLC. So it is legit. I am submitting a letter in lieu instead of signing the division orders. Under Oklahoma law, I do not have to sign division orders simply because a new operator takes over. Having said that, I am also rewriting the ACH authorization so that they cannot “claw back” funds as M. Barnes put it. Thanks everyone.
Hi everyone, I also received the GHO - D.O’s for Contango. The Deed covers Lots 1 & 2 and the S/2 of NE/4 of Section 1-18N-2E - Payne County. Mine were for the Katz West, Clary, (2) Woodall Exchange Wells. The R.I. appears correct and they say there are no amendments. I do see the ACH wording - good call. Originally, I received D.O.'s from American Energy after pooling (was before I inherited the M.I.'s), then eventually to Contango during which I received a Class Action lawsuit settlement ~11/24. So I too am unsure about the subsequent payments/accounting. The only payments since are on the Woodall wells. I tried looking up the status/production of the Katz & Clary wells on this site’s GIS link, also, the OCC and Tax Commission and finally gave up.
Questions:
- Where can I find well production histories in OK?
- If Katz & Clary are shut down, with past pooling orders how do I know the parameters [depth, expiration, area covered and hence additional wells]?
- Or since I do not have a lease are the D.O’s likely ok and just sign and move on…? THANKS!
Those wells have to be looked up by their surface locations which are not in Sec 1.

Have you tried looking for the lease on www.okcountyrecords.com?
Thanks for your help! So I locate the surface and not the bottom hole to find the production report—hence my problem. Thinking the payments must be low $100 so that is why I have not seen recent payments. I tried calling again and both times LM… Good advice on Oklahoma County Records. Is there a best way to search Payne? STR, lease name, …
You can search the well status on the OCC well records site. The most recent production on the OK Tax Site.
Extremely helpful! Thank you, Blake.
Thank you.
Nancy,
Your lease may have run out. Check and see when was the last time you received a check, then check to see if it’s abandoned or capped. They are sending division orders to everyone even if they don’t have a lease. I emailed them, sent a certified letter and never heard back. They are holding our oil checks this way.
I also received a DO from GHO and I signed the ACH. Am I in jeopardy by doing so? I started with Superior Oil & Gas in 2013, then Devon Energy, then WhiteStar, then Contango, and now Great Horned Owls. I never recouped my original investment, and Contango suspended payments to me in September 2024. This has been nothing but trouble. I recently retired and I have mistrust with these operators. I’ve received no response from my inquiries to GHO. Can I get out of this investment? Who do I contact?
if you want to give the well name, then we can tell you if it is still online.
Thank you, yes; the well is in Logan County - Dudek 12-18N-3W- 1MH.
The well is still listed as online as of January 2026. Phillips 66 is transporting the crude and Spire Marketing was transporting the gas.

Hi again, I was scanning the Oklahoma Tax site recommended for the Katz well. API # 11924249. I am confused why sometimes they list Contango and other times Phillips 66 under production? (I only get paid by Contango.) Does it just depend if it is oil or gas haulers? So both oil and gas are listed as volume only, and no barrels for oil?
Different companies are listed for the transport of the products. Depends upon the contracts with the operator. If the operator changes, then sometimes the transport companies change.
The zeros you see for Contago are for NGL. Natural Gas Liquids. They were probably rolled into the gas numbers. The oil volumes are there.
Ok makes sense. THANKS for the info!
