It seems the quasi personal rep for my grandpa’s estate got the only division order and not the 3 other owners. Also, does an order go out for each well? We had a well going in July 2013 and then April 2014, so were there two orders? My cousin, the quasi personal rep, has not been transparent which is why I inquire here.
The owner of record with clear title gets the Division Order. If you have a legitimate claim, contact the operating company and request getting into pay status. If the second well has the same spacing and covers the same tract, you might not get a second Division order. Some verticals can have the same decimal. If you have a long horizontal well and then another that goes over two or more sections, they may warrant a different DO according to the amount of perforations.
Thanks. There were 4 co-owners. The two wells are under different names Woods & Thomas in Williams County, North Dakota with numbers 154 98 14 and 154 98 2 etc., so I’m thinking not the same spacing/tract perhaps? Also, I believe only one of the owners at the time got a division order.
