There is the option to put a "mark" on the Production line of this Division Order. The options are "Oil", "Gas" and "Other". Should you put a check in all these options? Or if you fail to put a check in one of them, could the company not pay you for what was not checked?
I assume a well has the potential to produce different products. So is there a general list of items you should make sure are mentioned in the Division Order. Or is there a general term that would cover any and all.
Chemistry and physics principles assure us that material in the ground can produce many products at the surface.
The producer is in charge of what it sells. See previous comments of others concerning leases and DO's. Leave the options blank and accept the DO subject to the terms of the underlying lease. You can not be expected to know what the operator may produce. Your lease gives the operator the right to produce minerals as described specifically or in general from your asset and if produced and sold, the operator is obligated to share the revenue with you.
