We are paid by Hilcorp for wells in Lea County, New Mexico and Yoakum, Pecos, Gaines Counties in Texas.
Their pay statements come via EnergyLink. They are minimum 250 pages long, longest is 790 pages! They want $1,156.00 for an Excel spreadsheet for ONE check!
It is impossible to glean the information necessary for tax reporting. We have to email them every month for the New Mexico withholding amounts or we’d have to squint at every single line on hundreds of pages (for an amount usually less than $10.00).
Is anyone else experiencing this with them or is it just us?
\*\*Their owner relations folks have been wonderful, I have to say. They’re in an impossible situation, it seems.

This is a problem with the internal Hilcorp accounting system which transmits data to EnergyLink inserting the New Mexico withholding tax by well line so it is broken into many parts. Other companies send a single New Mexico tax withholding figure for the entire check. The 1099-Misc for the year will separately list the New Mexico royalties and New Mexico State Tax Withheld. Withholding is generally about 4.7% or 4.75% of the gross royalties for the years. You can use this as estimate and then adjust at the end of the year.

Have you tried the free version EnergyLink Essential to see if this can help with your issue? I do not use it for our purposes, so just a suggestion.

I have a tool I’ve been working on that extracts paystubs to Excel sheets. Happy to run your paystub through the tool if you’re interested, no charge or anything.

Lucky you get anything at all. You should have seen it back in '77. Boxes and boxes of Manila folders. IBM copy machine as big as a pool table. Decimals like .026348.

I’m in the same boat. I do what tennis daze suggested. It really only takes about 20 minutes at the end of the year to figure it out.
Cross Timbers used to have the same problem, but then they started to offer their data for free - or so I was told, but I had already sold.

We dealt with them knock heads when they bought the field we live in. Maintenance on anything was their last thing on their minds. Then payment on royalty was never right.
