Company claiming I'm still leased 28-2S-2W Carter County Oklahoma

Good morning, This is a big long-winded post but I have a scenario that I would love some advice on. I own minerals under an old (2004) 1/8th lease that I purchased in 2013. The current shallow well I received a shut-in payment once in 2014 and nothing since. I have leased the property in 2016 and now while trying to lease again was told it is held by production. I have to get a release which I suspect the old shallow operator will not grant. Best I can tell it did produce once in May 2016 but nothing since and I have received no royalty on this unit since I've owned it and only the one shut-in payment way back in 2014. I'm guessing I will need to get an attorney involved but appreciate any input! I am going to send a release to the old operator in the hopes he may just sign it but I am not holding my breath.
