Separate Royalty Check for Each Well?

General Mineral Rights Discussion

Is it common for the royalties to come in two separate checks…one for each well?

That probably depends on the company that does the production. Antero does mine and I get one check for all four wells.

Not common. Check to see if you have two owner numbers. If you do, ask them to consolidate into one owner number and one check.

We had this. In the 90s we used to receive one check from pioneer resources on two conventional wells. The check stub showed the breakdown.

These are family owned wells, so there are several of us in one family. The amounts of BBL shown as being represented in the royalty check are only the amounts from one of the two wells. This company does not do direct deposit…it sends the checks via USPS. They use a second company (EnergyLink - Oil and Gas Accounting Solutions) to provide the breakdown the details of the check and what it covers).

I’ve had this happen…. In the same unit, I had a royalty interest, that the operator paid us. I also had an ORRI that was paid by a non operating, working interest owner. The ORRI was carved out of that working interest owners interest and must of had an arrangement with the operator that he would pay for his royalty burdens under his working interest. Hope that helps.

We have also discovered that the Division Order only had one well site listed which is the one we received the check for…we have contacted them (haven’t heard back yet) to see if we will get a second Division Order for the other well (the one we haven’t been paid for yet but is producing…).
