Operators in Howard County

How are you made aware when there is a new operator on your property/well/lease? We just discovered an unsatisfied title agreement on a lease. There have been 3 different operators since 2016, the latest operator asked for a copy of the Deed, the 2 previous operators did not. I am new to this, learned how to search production on the RRC and found the operator names. Thank you in advance I appreciate any input or knowledge while learning this process.

I have started checking RRC. I was never notified of a well. They sent division orders on 1 well from a lease, but never knew about the second on a separate unpooled section. If I wouldn’t have looked on RRC, never would have known. Well was 8 years old, never paid a dime. I am fighting with them now, same lease with both sections listed, and they are trying not to pay. Afraid I will have to file a suit, just sent them a 60-day notice to pay.

Rodney, I am surprised the new operators do not give notice when they take over a lease.
