Understanding Your Oil and Gas Payment Information: Key Questions Answered

If you are a royalty owner receiving payments for oil and gas production, it is important to understand what information should appear on your payment stub and how to address any issues that arise. First and foremost, royalty owners should attempt to resolve their concerns directly with the company operating the wells in which they hold an interest. Contact information for the operator is typically included on the payment remittance advice.

If a resolution cannot be achieved through the operator, it is appropriate to contact the Board of Oil, Gas & Mining for mediation.
