For inactive or non-producing wells (both scenarios - been told “inactive” or “non-producing” when I inquired - several wells in different areas), is there anything we need to check on or do on our end? And do we just write those off as potential income or could the inactive/non-producing status change?

If you are leased and previously had production, then check your lease to see if you are due shut-in payments. If the well has been inactive for over a year, then you can demand a release of lease or the shut in payment.
