I receive 100% of royalties from a well in Oklahoma. All was going okay for several years. I was getting checks every month for over a thousand dollars from Sunoco. Then the well operator changed and I was getting checks from another company which turned out to be owned by the well operator. At first I got checks every other month. Then it was every 3 or 4 months. After a lot of digging I was able to get in touch with the well operator. When I talked to him this January, he said the well was producing and no problems and he would send me a check. The check was for production through November which I verified with the state. He sent the check and it bounced. Contacted him and he said a new check was in the mail. Three weeks later, no check so I resubmitted the bounced check and it cleared. Five months has passed and I have not been able to get in touch with him. I don’t know if he is still operating the well or whatever.
So I started doing research and I find that this guy has been charged with several serious crimes, not related to the oil business. Since I live in another state, I need some help. What should I do? Could a landman find out what is going on? Should I contact the state? Any advice would be appreciated.

If you share the Section, Township, Range, and well name, we may be able to help.
