What have we inherited? Receiving royalties from mineral rights.

My Mother is receiving royalties from mineral rights. When we call the operators (EXCO, Comsec, & Deversified) they don’t want to send us past invoices and wont give us information concerning what we have. Any help is greatly appreciated. Location Louisiana, Desoto Parish. Sec 25 T14N R13W. Seems to be inherited from my GG Grandfather H. Means. We left LA in 1970.

Looks like you have production from different formations on your tract. Most definitely have Haynesville production along with what I would assume is shallower conventional production from Diversified. Happy to answer more questions if this is helpful.

DeSoto Parish has a pay as you go website for property record research. Exco and possibly Diversified are part of the Energylink system, so you can get the last 24 months check payment details. If your Mother is not part of EnergyLink, then sign up and provide the last check amount from a company and her owner number. It will take a few days for that to populate on Energylink. Good luck.

Thanks James. I went in to sign up for an account & it seems that I cant because the production company has already opened an account. Is that normally how it works?

If you are not a current user, then you have a couple of options. First, look at your Division Order and some of your last few checks since these may contain a username and password for the initial signup. There will also be instructions. You can also contact the Purchaser owner relations via email. Provide your owner number, and they will generally send you the intial signin information.

Thank you. Searching the records I found several Unopened Successions. What does that mean? They were never drilled? They are in the names of my relatives who all passed away from the 50s through the 80s.
