I am a mineral owner in Garfield/Alfalfa counties.
Jennifer, The D Smith well started producing in Sept 2014. http://imaging.occeweb.com/OG/Well%20Records/1DD296DC.pdf
Oklahoma Tax Commission has production records. otcmaster@tax.ok.gov Local: (405) 521-3160
Hire an attorney to help you with the affidavit of heirship or see if you can do a Simple Probate and to get the mineral deed in your name.
Use a landman to make sure your mineral acreage amounts are correct. Attorney Charles McBride in Stillwater, OK recommends landman Monte Hoffman phone # 405-842-1930 with Easton Land Services.
Wanting to wish my fellow mineral right owners a Merry Christmas in Garfield County. Hopefully next year will show more prosperity than 2015, even though we should be thankful for what we did receive. Want to expecially thank Martha and Virginia, for all of the advice they have given me over the past 3 years, they are right, one just has to sit back and wait. Oil and Gas is a puzzle. Thanks for all of your help. Merry Christmas to all!
Merry Christmas!
There is nothing online thru the counties like most of them. I ran into that when searching Garfield County as well.
I’d contact the Garfield County Records Clerk and ask them how to get records without going to the courthouse. Or, you can contact a landman to help you like Monte Hoffman phone # 405-842-1930 with Easton Land Services

There are no online records for both Caddo, in which I live, and Garfield County where I hold minerals. i ran into the same problem.

Yes.I think that changed in 1974.Before that it was 1/3 and 2/3, real estate and minerals.
Wondering if the rest of the wells in eastern Garfield County will be sold by Devon in their changes.
Is there a state statue that says a surviving spouse gets half the mineral rights and the children split the remaining 50%?
Also wondering if they are not producing their wells, even as small as some of them are. Next month I believe will be the 4th month and no check. I do realize that they have to be over $100.00 to cut one.
Fred, In accordance with Oklahoma’s intestate laws, if there is no will and if there are children and the children are the surviving spouse’s, the surviving spouse will inherit one-half of the estate and the children inherit equal shares of the other half.

Deborah, You might try calling Devon’s mineral owners help line 405-228-4800 or emailing questions to DevonDirect@dvn.com
So far Devon hasn’t sold our Eason 27 - 21N - 3W. Also it took 4 months to exceed the 100.00 payable but that is ok too.
Also wouldnt birth certificates for the children be enough proof so they could share in the other 50% share of the minerals?
Fred, Most companies accept an affidavit of heirship as long as there are no title issues. Title issues are found when an attorney examines legal records to create a title opinion that establishes division of interests for royalty payments. Clear title is very important so companies can decide not to accept an affidavit if probate is needed to cure the title defect.
So now I am waiting to hear back from them as to whether a suit will satisfy them as well.Very frustrating to being forced to spend more money on the same sections over and over because people don’t leave wills.
Fred, Devon is correct in that an Affidavit of Heirship does not transfer title. Devon is stating OK statutory law, so they are demanding probate. Probate is the best when there is no will, but I always advise asking an attorney.
