Logan County, OK - Oil & Gas Discussion archives

Catherine,

Do you own the surface or was it sold? I am wondering IF the surface was sold, did it have a clauses that you keep the mineral as long as a well produces, then it reverted back to the surface owner. If the surface is sold, go to the county clerk office and see what is in the deed.

As far as the lady at “do you have a question”, she was probably very busy and didn’t know anything regarding this case. The oil company employees and their attorney’s are real jumpy nowadays. Even if she doesn’t have a clear title and they don’t pay you within the 6 months window, she is still entitled to 6% interest till the title is cleared and the first check issued. Hopefully you didn’t sign a lease that you would clear the title. Did the lady say what was wrong with the title? I would call her back, be nice and ask to speak to the attorney that is handling this. Ask him what is wrong with the title, may be just a simple thing. Lots of todays oil and gas attorney’s are making sure all the “I” are dotted and “t” cross. It’s getting harder to proud title then it used to be as things are getting so divided up into small acres. Used to be everyone owned 160 A mineral under the farm, then they sold the minerals or G-grandpa had 4 children, so it divided into 40 acres each. Then Grandpa 40 A divide again between his children, then a few divorcees along the way. Now it’s down to 3 to 5 acres apiece. So, it’s getting harder to prove what you own. It’s a big paper trail or should I say, computer trail.

Tonya,

What section township and range are you talking about?

Virginia—wills have been pro-bated, death cert. have been filed and recorded, affidavids identifying people have been filed and recorded, quit-claim deeds filed and recorded. When Cathy’s mothers will was probated there was a producing well on the property that she received a royalty check, once a year, until the well was abandoned. She owned mineral rights then, why not now? When they wanted to lease to drill she owned mineral rights, now that they owe her money they say she just might not have clear title. I suggested to the lady at the “if you have questions” telephone number that maybe her lawyer was using a little “creative employment” to make himself a job and it appeared all of this was so they could use the money over six months without paying any interest. She raised her voice an octave and said she didn’t have time to discuss it, so I must have been hitting pretty close to home.

Interesting! Thanks Ron!

KJ,

You can go to the assessor office or tax office in the county and they can tell you the Acres. Also, some Co have plat books a person can purchases and it will give you a very close amount of Acres. Suppose to be the right amount, but I have had to get some changed a couple of times.

How much money someone received for leases, that can be harder. Sometimes OCC can give you an estimate of what leases are running in the area, but it’s usually a few months late. Otherwise, just talk to your neighbor and see if they will tell you what they got. Some will love to tell you, others don’t want anyone to know.

Has anyone seen a completion report for Redhead 1. 27-17n 3w? It has production for Sept and Oct, but no report I could find. Thanks

KJ Pooling orders have some information about $ amounts . What is the location ?

I assumed that an oil and gas lease, on file with the County, would have specific mineral acres and dollar amounts on it. …Not so. Where would one fined this information?

Mike Gillett I found nothing . OCC is behind on posting . You can call 405-522-2977 and ask if they have it .

Only the owners who have interest that are not leased are listed on the pooling in most cases ,and must make an election if they have interest that are not leased. I would need location to look up anything .

Order 619572 if that is of any help.

I do apologize for asking too many questions. My curiosity sometimes overtakes my conscientiousness.

Thanks Virginia,

I did prowl around the tax office site but I could only see surface acres. I will go back and see if I did not …“dig” down far enough.

Looking at a couple of leases for the same section (within three years), I can’t tell what is leased and what is not. I have interest in several parts of the same section and two of the leases have the same “NW/4” but cant locate a lease that show acres in another 4th. I can only assume it was “pooled”. This stuff can get confusing real fast.

Ron,

I found a copy of the pooling order with the 3/16th and 1/5th amounts. It did not list a default 1/8th amount. At the bottom of the pooling order (names and addresses), I see the trustee listed several times in dif. places. I just don’t know what was paid per acre on two leases sighned before pooling and the amount of acres leased.

KJ,

Sounds like you share part of the mineral with others. Then the tax office records will only show total acres of the 160. Have you looked on the Co clerk records to see if anything has been recorded?

You should be able to find the leases there, but they may not be filed yet. Seems the oil companies are running behind on everything.

Once you get to the Co Records, just type your name or name of the trust or LLP and it should bring it up. Then you can pay a small fee per month to look at the records and if you want to print them, it’s another dollar or so. It used to be where you could put the legal in and it would come up, I liked it better that way. But, seemed they changed it this past year.
