Question about check

If you have not received your check and have waited 15 business days from the date the check was originally mailed, please contact our office to process a void of the original check and re-issue the funds to you on the next available check write date. Once we void your check, please do not attempt to cash it.
If you lose your check, please contact our Revenue group so that we may void and re-issue the check at our next check write date.

How to read a check detail

Adjustments on the checks

Royalty accounts are subject to adjustment, either upward or downward. Adjustments on your check detail can be identified by a positive and negative entry listed under the "Your Net" column on your revenue check.

The negative entry will indicate what was previously paid to you on a prior royalty check. The positive entry right above it will indicate the amount that should have been paid to you. The difference is the adjustment to you for that specific production month.

There are many factors that may result in a prior period adjustment, such as:

Revised production statements from the property operator
Revised plant statements from a plant operator
Corrected data received after an unexpected operational change (often due to a mechanical failure that interrupts normal operations or a major weather event)
Revised pricing information from third parties
Revised allocation statements or pricing information due to audit findings
Accounting errors
Retroactive tax incentives provided by government authorities

A discrepancy may be identified several years after the original accounting for a given production month, and because many parties have input into the accounting process, there may be multiple revisions over any period of time.
