yes, they posted in the Journal Record, but who picks up a Journal Record to read unless they have business interests? They said they search the internet, but being married, my name was not the same.
Do you think I have any recourse in saying they didn’t ask the other mineral owners in the pool? They both knew my last name and could of told them, and would of found me on the internet with that info.
So, you don’t think I would have any recourse in my choice of participation? The oil company would not allow me to elect an option, so would have to accept the 1/8th royalty instead of the 1/5th? is that correct?..or do I have any recourse, since they didn’t even ask the other owners?
The oil company has not sent me a new lease with the changes I asked for. Does this mean that If I am forced pooled that I will have to take the states default royalty amounts. If I sign the first lease it has me paying expenses my attorney says I shouldn’t. However, it has a 1/5 royalty aggreement. I believe the states is much lower. Why would the oil companies bother with leases in this situation. They would pay less royalties to go with the states default.
The order is for 30-18N-3E. My minerals are on the nw corner of 31-18N-3E. Therefore should I be concerned?? The landman just emailed me and said he had been redeployed out of my section where my minerals are. He said that American actually took over for the company we were working with, Calyx Energy out of Tulsa. So, what do I do now? How do I know if they are driling under me??? how far can they drill horizontally??
They are not drilling under you . I sent the order so you could see what they were ordered to pay close by and so you could see the pooling is nothing to worry about .
Joyce, You might not win that one. Your legal name needs to be of record. Some mineral owners who inherit file a affidavit of heirship, but some think probating an estate is better.
28-20N-02E Can anyone tell me what is happening with in sec 28. I talked with Devon mid May and they told me it would be 4-6 wks before they knew what production would be. I called back several wks ago and they tell me it will be Nov that they are behind. Behind in what I don’t know. I’m in the dark.
Devon, it’s clear, is in no hurry to pay Royalty owners. They started producing in section 9 20n 2E in January and no payments yet. This for a non contested lease. They did get division orders out a couple weeks ago. State statues supposedly require payment within 6 months but nothing yet. Your section completion report was about the same time as section 9.
Phillip, OCC told me they are allowing completion reports to be held until the last multi unit lateral is completed. I believe OCC is allowing this completion timing under 165:10-13-7 Prescribed Form 1011-Multi-Zone lease runs report: “If there are two or more common sources of supply that are produced through a well or wells on the same lease or drilling and spacing unit and that are not commingled, production from each common source of supply shall be separately produced, measured and/or accounted for to the Commission. If one or more of the zones produced are classified as oil for allowable purposes, the operator is required to submit to the Conservation Division a multi-zone report on Form 1011 showing the production from each oil-bearing common source of supply on or before the last day of the succeeding proration period.”
The OCC must mean “oil for allowable purposes” is “Mineral oil obtained in the vicinity of rocks, underground traps, and sands also refers to several specific distillates of crude oil.” And the quantum of mineral oil or gas that a well will be allowed to produce fails under OCC rules and regulations “pooling of the mineral interests of the parties to protect their correlative rights, as well as the rights of other mineral interests under the separate tracts” 52 O.S.A. 87.1 which was amended by the 2012 “Energy Litigation Reform Act” - http://www.oklegislature.gov/cf_pdf/2011-12%20INT/hb/HB2654%20int.pdf and is in compliance with O. S. T. SECTION 85.70 Adjusted Allowable, Pool and Production
Re: 2 & 11 - 17N-3E My sister and own partial minerals on these two sections of Payne County. Three years ago leased them to Cher Oil, which in turn sold them to Calyx, which in turn sold them to American Energy. There was a pooling order in March for Section 2, but to our knowledge nothing was done before the lease ran out the first of May. We cannot get any confirmation that anything was started before the lease ran out, thus continuing the lease, or if we are free to release to whomever. Does anyone know anything about these two sections?
