If you post the section, township and range and your description, then we can tell you the wells in your area. You may have to track down the operators, clear title, etc.
You also may need to check the unclaimed funds in the state. If owed for that long, something may be amiss.

That’s for a new horizontal well they plan to start in December but there is a battery and stuff there on Section 25 so I know they have done things in the past and I received no royalties. They didn’t have my address for the past 30 years.

XTO is the operator if you are in section 25. You need to contact the Division Order department and see what you need to do to get into pay status. The well was spud in section 30 but no perforations so no payments for that section. Rosalie 1-25H was drilled in 2011. API No.: 35019254270000 OTC Prod. Unit No.: 019-205083

Here’s a link to the Oklahoma Unclaimed Property fund to search – [https://apps.ok.gov/unclaimed/search.php](https://apps.ok.gov/unclaimed/search.php) I didn’t find a Colette Preston but there is an Irene Preston who lived in Jenks. If you ever had a different last name, you’d want to search that too.
Also, if someone else owned the minerals when old wells were drilled and the oil company was never notified of the change of ownership, the payments would have been sent to the state under the previous owner’s name.

It is also possible that the company paid the funds into the unclaimed property agency for another state if the royalty owner lived outside of Oklahoma or if the company responsible for payment was located elsewhere. You might also want to try these links.
