Send a registered letter to your operator and ask for drilling reports and status.

I did this and received a very complete packet. Now I have an email address and a direct phone number to simply ask what I would like to know.

Thank you! I'm not sure who all of the operators are since some of the minerals are leased by landmen who are working for others, and the minerals can be assigned to others. I do know several operators, so I'll use your suggestion for them.
