Hi y’all!
First time here posting.
I have 2NMA in Woodward County located here:
Lot 1, Lot 2, Lot 3 and South Half of the North Half of: Section 5 Township 20 North Range 19 West
I thought there might be some royalties coming in off this because I thought, based on my research, there may be production in the area of interest. Last year I thought I found who may be drilling in the area and providing royalties (Diversified Energy) but they responded and said there was no ownership of interest from who I got them from.
Now, I’m just confused.
1. What’s the best way to verify if there is production in the area?
2. How (or can) I tell if there are royalty payments due for the property area I listed above?
Appreciate any help. I have a lot to learn here in this space.
Brandon

You have no production on your section. You had a vertical well drilled in 1969 that was a dry hole and no wells drilled on it since.

@BrandonB, @Bob77 is correct about the 1969 well, but there is also a newer horizontal well from 2018 operated by Diversified that is producing. The Shyrock 5-20-19. Good way to check production is the [OKTAP](https://oktap.tax.ok.gov/OkTAP/web?link=PUBLICPUNLKP).
Diversified did not deny production, but seemed to imply a problem with the previous owner’s ownership. You may have to review the chain of title. There could be a mistake, but you will have to show why it is a mistake.

Ah this is great information. Thanks so much! I’ve reached back out to Diversified to seek clarification and hopefully try to clean things up.
OKTAP was a great resource. Lags a little of course but that makes sense.
Very much appreciated.
