The 1/5 royalty refers to how much of a share your mother, as the person who granted a lease, or inherited them from someone who granted a lease, would receive. So, if there were only one lease at a 1/5 royalty, and the well made $1000/mo., the mineral owner/lessor/your mother would get 1/5 x $1000 or $200.00. Now in Oklahoma, it’s never that simple. Because in all likelihood, your mother does not own all the minerals in her tract and her tract is part of a section, containing 640 acres. So, for argument’s sake, let’s say she owns 1/4 of the NW/4, which contains 160 acres, then her calculation would be 1/5 x 1/4 x 160/640 or .0125. So, for every $1000 of production, she would receive .0125 x $1000 or $12.50. Now, the revenue from the well should be larger than that.

Action in 15N could mean action in 16N is forthcoming. Depends on what kind of well, where in 15N the wells get drilled, price of oil, etc. May not be very soon, though.
