Help, I don't know where to start looking

Is there a way to tell if they are drilling yet on our plot? We signed lease paperwork in January and have heard nothing since besides when we received our lease check. I just thought there wod be an update of something from the company every so often even if nothing Is going on. Our mineral rights are in williams county north Dakota. Thanks!

Michael:

I simply call or email the operator, address the Land Dept. and pose the question. They should will be able to give you the current status of the drilling permit.
