Have you tried calling Roan to verify they received a copy of the final order on the probate and that they have your contact information?
I called Roan owner relations yesterday and couldn’t get much info. The person I talked to said nothing has been sent out on the Justify wells yet because nothing has happened with them beyond the permit being issued. He said when the time comes to notify people then that’s when the lawyers will track down ownership. As of now he couldn’t find my name nor the name of my late wife anywhere in their system and didn’t seem to think it mattered. All the mailings I’ve gotten so far are copies of court filings and perhaps they were sent by the courts or the Oklahoma Corporation Commission and not Roan. Basically, the guy at Roan told me to sit tight and wait for the wells to begin producing. But again, I’m still worried that I’ll miss out on important info if they don’t have a record of me as owner and I don’t know how to find out if they received a copy of the final order of the probate. By the way, I also emailed Roan customer relations and the response “originated from outside the organization” which gives me pause.
Mr. Johnson: I assume the two wells you are getting paid on are the Robison D-1 and Hasta 1206 23-1MH wells and that is from the oil & gas lease executed many years ago.
Roan has filed and received the Order for Increased density for 5 Mississippi wells and 5 Woodford wells. You can check CD#201810329, Order #691362 to see if you or your predecessors in title were named on the Application.
The party at Roan to contact is Joe Ferguson, phone 405-896-8230.
None of the Justify wells has been spud yet, that I can see. Only Intents to Drill filed.
Hope this helps.

Thanks Todd. That helps a lot. The wells I’m getting paid for are the HASTA 1206 23-MH and the TA Dobry 1-23 (not to be confused with the Dobry 1 which has been plugged). I don’t know anything about the Robinson D-1 well. I have copies of both those orders in hand (as well as others) and my late wife is listed in all of them. I’m hoping that my name will supersede hers from here on out.
The OCC sends out the mailings for anything having to do with spacing, permitting, well location, etc. You should be getting those. Check the respondents lists and see if your wife is on there or if your name is on the newer ones. Contact the attorney that sends them if the name is not correct.
Roan will not send you anything until the wells have been drilled and completed and then you will get a Division Order about five months after first production, so looking at next year sometime.
In the meantime, you can watch the progress of the OCC cases on their website. You should get the mailings and you can get all the exhibits off the website. Use the case numbers off the mailings to look up the progress and status. http://imaging.occeweb.com/imaging/OAP.aspx
You can watch the progress of the wells: permit, spud, survey, completion, etc. on the OCC well records website. Roan will not send any of this to you. Test
Once the wells are drilled, you can watch for the date of first sales on the OK tax site. The “active date” is very close to first sales. From it, you can estimate when you will get the Division Orders. They may be delayed due to the large number of wells that are going to be drilled at the same time. Gross Production

Ms. Barnes, that all makes sense and thanks. I found on the OCC site something that was filed on April 25. I did not get a copy of this in the mail and my late wife is still listed in “Exhibit A” as an interested party who should’ve received the mailing. I guess I’ll have to monitor the OCC site to keep abreast and hope the roster gets updated sometime.
Contact the attorney listed on the one with your wife’s name and ask how to get the mailings transferred to your name. They will most likely need probate information.
Richard: Go to this website to find out about the wells that are producing in this section. They may not all be 640 acre units. You have to check information on each well.
https://otcportal.tax.ok.gov/gpx/gp_PublicSearchPUNbyLegal.php
Check the Check by Legal box and make sure you put in the following information: Section: 23; Township 12N, Range 06W. Each requested number must have 2 digits, hence 06.
Good Luck.
Once a well is drilled, Roan will hire a title attorney to do a Division Order Title Opinion (DOTO). The company (or a landman/land company hired by them) will furnish the title attorney with everything filed at the courthouse to that point plus any documents they’ve been sent. So you have two chances of being found. If you find out division orders or checks have been sent, and you didn’t get one, then you can contact Roan. The DOs & checks probably won’t be issued until at least 5-6 months after the first sales are made. M_Barnes has explained how to find the active date in one of her replies…
Thanks everybody. There’s a wealth of information here that applies to all of us owners.
Todd, I’ve spent the morning poking around the OTC site. I already knew the TA Dobry well was 80 acres and get paid on that. The HASTA 1206 23 1MH is not listed except that the API shows another name for it. It has 640 spacing and I get paid on that. My question is this…should I get paid from any operator who has 640 spacing in section 23? The OTC site shows Liberty Trust 1 with 640 spacing and we’ve never gotten anything from them. This well has been active since 1984 and is still producing. Are past monies due?
Todd, in doing further research, it looks like the Liberty Trust 1 well is located in the NW part of Section 23 in the same area as the TA Dobry well is and where my interest is. It seems like I should be getting paid on this well regardless of whether it is 80 acres or 640 acres. If this is true, how do I go about getting this fixed?
