Marci,
Here is XTO’s website
Marci,
Let’s try this. Just another senior moment:)
Our rights are on S:5, T:4a, R:3e. They minerals were in my fathers name and he passed away in 2007. They say they didn’t have his address, my mothers and his address for over 30 years. there is no signed lease. Would the well name be on the distribution sheet. Maybe Risinger is the name. What is the county tax? Thanks for your help.
Thank you for your help. We are also trying to figure out why my moms check had county tax taken out, but my brothers and i didn’t.
Marci,
XTO has permits to drill 8 wells from section 5 4S 3E and secton 6 4S 3E into section 32 3S 3E. It is getting pretty hot around your section.
Marci,
So about 1 1/4 acres. This is probably why they are not paying any attention to the issue.
Marci,
RD Williams is the company in Ardmore doing the leasing for XTO
580 226-4100. They have multiple landmen, so tell them the Section, township, and range and the name of the well.
Do you have any idea how many mineral acres you have?
i am sure that is why. Small potatoes in there world, but to my mom on a fixed income it was a substantial check.Thanks for all your help and information. This website has been so great at helping us understand this process a little better.
I am not seeing the pooling order. maybe it didn’t attatch, could you please resend it. That would be great information to have. I
Marci,
I didn’t send it! I’ll find it and send in a few minutes.
Marci,
The amount of the royalty checks are based on your acreage and the percent of your ‘lease’, which is quite often 3/16. This can be figured out if you have the Division Orders, which has your SSN, for tax purposes and the percent of the mineral interest XTO is going to pay on.
If your interested in what is going on in Oklahoma Oil & Gas, you can go to the below OCC website and learn the Docket will contain in the way of NOTICES for the following week.
In the DOCKET CODE enter NOTICE
In the CASE TYPE enter CD
Then enter the beginning date of the search, I use the current date, and enter then
Enter 12/31/2013 for the ending date.
Select SEARCH. A list of Notices will be displayed. Just click of the first column ID and
the document will be displayed. If it has something to do with your mineral rights, you can read here before you get it in the mail.
When did your father pass away? If before 2010, I’d say they are correct as the title was not marketable.
We requested our Statutory interest from XTO. They told us that they would only be paying at 6% not 12% because the well started producing in 2010, and they have had the money since then. But we just recenlty had the rights moved from my deceased fathers name into our names. They say they only pay 6% because of heirship issues. They had made no attempt to contact anyone, including send correspendance to my father, who passed away. My parents have lived at the same address for over 20 years and nothing was recieved at all from XTO. Does this still mean they only have to pay the 6%.
Hi All,
I saw Ann’s comment about shut-in. I am evaluating a lease offer from Apache, and they are asking for shut-in too. Why would that make sense? Seems that it would render our future potential for the land nearly worthless if nothing is found.
Thanks!

Thanks for that information. I am new to this, so another question about the actual payment of the bonus.
I get that Apache wants the filed lease to be silent about the bonus, essentially not legally tied to it. And I am guessing that most of the time, the word of the landman is sufficient when he says that I will get paid within 30 days of the title being filed. How will I know if I should trust him? If I don’t get paid, I don’t even have anything from the lessee obligating them. This is my only property, and I want to be prudent. I have read about cold drafting (not sure if this is the same). I have 160 acres, so there is a fair amount involved.
Thanks!
Daniel,
Thanks. Yes, this is west of I35, near north Lone Grove. If I were buying or selling a house, I would expect to attend a closing. But I guess that bonus deals are often done with a letter. What is common?
David,
If you have a depth clause, it will make life easier. If they want a shut-in, you want a depth clause. This clause will allow you to lease to other companies for different formations than the formations Apache wants to drill.
Steve Stokes. The Dubiel was 3.8 mcf, and aprox 100 bopd. Can’t help you on the other well, but the Oklahoma Corp Comm will have info on the Kidd Open flow was 4.8 on the Dubiel but they have it choked 46/64 I think
Steve,
Here is the completion report for the KIDD well, 44 bopd 3673 mcfd
