Continental Resources Lease Royalty Payment Division Orders

Oil and Gas Leasing Help

Hi This is all new to me.

I finally received a Royalty check from Continental Resources for Mineral Rights in Billings County ND. I had to have a Probate done in ND in order to prove to Continental Resources that I am an owner even though I had a 3 year lease with them ( go figure that one out??) Trying to figure out how to read the check statement. Is their anyone that is familiar with their statement that can explain how to interpret it? My lease is for 20% Royalty. I am leased by production. How do I know if I am being paid my 20% Royalty? I see on my statement ( DISB. DEC. 0.00195312 ) I am not sure what this means.

I was not sent a Distribution Order or Tax form to sign W9 for non resident tax to be taken out. I am a Florida resident. Should they have sent me a Distribution order to sign or because I had a lease with them and I am leased by production change things?? I think it is a North Dakota non residents tax. I am not sure what that % is?

Is Continental Resources responsible for taking out the non residence tax from my Royalty check ?

I am sorry for all the questions! Would APP. any answers to the above questions.

THANKS BRUCE WERNOW

Bruce take the amount of acres you own in this well unit divide it by the number of acres in the unit then multiply iy by your royalty 20% and it should match the decimal distribution you showed above.
