Attached are three documents you will find helpful. These are:
1. A run sheet, showing all the "Kucala" instruments recorded since 1993. The current lease would be the Ronald Kucala to Element Production recorded 9/15/2011. I'll get you a copy of it. There are also some pertinent probate-related instruments. With these you could go to the operator and claim any share of royalties that are due you.
2. A pdf of the approved drilling permit for the Walker #3 well, which is clearly in the NE/4 of Abstract 129. No other wells in this section are permitted in the NE/4 so it is only this well you are potentially owed royalties.
3. The 2015 ad valorem tax appraisal. Among other things, this shows who is being paid on this property. The interests add up to 100%, so if you are a rightful heir, then one of your kin is most likely receiving your royalty (keeping it safe for you).
