Owner Resources: Read the Record Before the Number

Name the Property

County, legal description, recorded owner, net mineral acres, depths, products, and tract schedule establish the file.

Reconcile the Payments

Division orders, royalty statements, paid decimals, wells, products, deductions, adjustments, and suspense should agree.

Compare Written Terms

Price, exclusions, retained interests, title reserves, curative work, effective date, funding, and closing documents belong together.
