I mineral interest in many different sections located in Pittsburg County, Oklahoma. Sections include 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 14, 15, 16, 17, 19, 22, 23, 25, 26, 27, 28, 33, 34, 35 Township 7 North Range 16 East, as well as several in Township 8 North Range 16 East and T3N-R15E, T4N-R15E, T6N-R15E. I’m currently receiving only 1 royalty revenue check from Trinity Operating USG LLC. And it’s only a few hundred dollars or so. Can anyone tell me if that sounds correct?

I’m afraid this is unanswerable as written. There are certainly professionals in the business who can work with you on a paid basis to figure out what you own.

Even if you own in all those sections (and I question that), one would have to know a) how much you own, b) what the royalty is under an oil and gas lease, and c) do a search of the records to determine what wells are producing in these sections.
Even then, to be real accurate, one would have to figure out how much production is from the well(s) involved.

I sent a final distribution to heirs decree that shows my current ownership of the section I listed. Thank you.

I own 2 different sections in Pittsburg County, Oklahoma since 1990 when my grandfather Alvis Eugene Browne warranty deeded them to me. I have signed several different leases for Mead Energy, Trans Texas Operating, W.O. Pettit, and Scissortail Energy. When I signed these oil and gas leases, I wasn’t aware I was leasing anything to an operator. I was told by family members that it was something I needed to sign for my father’s estate so it could be finalized. Now years later, I find out I actually signed leases and the address on the division orders are the family members that had me sign. I have never received any payments or sign-on bonuses or anything ever. I don’t know how to find out how much money has been diverted to other people that should have come to me. The sections that I own and have clear title for are: Section 28, Township 7N, Range 16E and Section 32, Township 4N, Range 15E located in Pittsburg County, Oklahoma.

I can provide proof of ownership of the sections I’ve described.

Sounds like you need a lawyer to find out where it’s gone to. The Division Orders have that info and the NGI number that’s used with the production volume and the selling price of the product that calculates how much each well has generated. If you signed the DO and used their names and addresses, that’s where it’s going and you’ll probably have a hard time convincing a judge you signed them away under duress. Good luck.

Start with the free answer. Contact the Division Order Analyst at the operators and ask them where the payments are going. If the addresses on the original DO were not you, then you can ask for a new Division Order with your correct name and address. Ask them for a copy of the title opinion paragraph that pertains to your ownership. They may need copies of your deeds, driver’s license and any probate documents that may give you more than the original deeds. Be aware that even if you have a deed, it is only good if the title was good that went with it.
