• What a royalty isYour decimal share of these volumes, times the price the operator received, minus the deductions the lease allows. The volumes are public; the price and the deductions are on your statement.
• Read the months, not just the yearA shale well declines steeply in its first years. Falling months on a young well are the curve, not a problem; falling months on an old well may be a shut-in or a sale of the well.

Hydraulic fracturing disclosure

None disclosed. Usual for anything but a shale well.

The surface parcel is the county assessor’s record of who owns the land at the marker. Minerals are often severed from the surface and held by someone else; the parcel is a place to start in the deed index, not an answer.

What this page does and does not tell you

• It does not say who owns the minerals. Only recorded deeds, wills, and estate files do. The mineral owner named on a permit is whoever the operator listed when it filed, often decades ago.
• A completed well is not necessarily producing. Status and year come from state records; the production and sales figures above come from separate, operator-reported filings and are estimates where the page says so.
• Nearby is not yours. A well in the same district is not necessarily producing from your tract. Only a lease, a unit, or a division order ties a well to an interest.
• The location is approximate. A surface point, not a surveyed boundary and not the subsurface path of a lateral.
• Activity is not value. Permits nearby change the odds of future development; they do not by themselves establish what an interest is worth.
