Frequently Asked Questions

A Division Order is a document that lets you know production from a well has started and Denbury is preparing to make distribution of revenue derived from the sale of oil, gas and other hydrocarbons. Denbury uses Division Orders to verify that your name and address are correct as shown for mailing payments, and to verify your decimal is accurate, to ensure revenue distribution is correct.

Form W-9 is a form used in the United States income tax system by a third party who must file an information return with the Internal Revenue Service. It requests the name, address, and taxpayer identification information of a taxpayer. W-9 forms are required by federal law in order for Denbury to pay royalties to Interest Owners. Please click here to complete your W-9. Please note this document must have your signature to be valid. Therefore, you will need to print it out, complete it and either mail by post, or scan and email or fax.

Royalty interest refers to ownership of a portion of a resource or the revenue it produces. Denbury Royalty Interest (“RI”) owners own minerals and have signed an oil and gas lease which entitles the owner to a percentage of revenue from the sale of oil and gas produced from the acreage described in the oil and gas lease. This percentage of revenue is referred to as the “royalty interest.” This interest is not subject to any of the costs related to the development, drilling, operations or maintenance of the well.

A Working Interest (“WI”) is a percentage of ownership in an oil and gas lease and grants its owner the right to explore, drill, and produce oil and gas from a tract of property. Working Interest owners are obligated to pay their proportionate percentage of the cost of leasing, drilling, producing and operating a well or unit.

A Mineral Interest (“MI”) is also known as an unleased mineral interest and is a cost-bearing interest because the unleased mineral interest owners are not sharing a portion of their production in exchange for the Operators covering all of the production costs associated with extracting the resources from the ground. Unleased mineral interest owners are entitled to 100% of their production minus their proportionate share of the cost of drilling, completing and equipping the well in addition to operating costs after the well is completed.

A net proceeds interest is not an interest in actual minerals. Rather, it is a fractional ownership in the revenue derived from the sale of oil and gas, less expenses. This interest type is generally created when the leasehold, or working interest, is transferred through a 24/7 Operating Agreement to a second party, with the first party reserving a percentage of revenue from the sale of production, less expenses.

Although your check detail indicates your interest is a royalty interest (“RI”), as though you own leased minerals, you actually own a net proceeds interest.

An Overriding Royalty Interest (“ORRI”) is an interest which is not connected to an ownership of minerals under the ground. It is the right to receive revenue from the production of oil and gas from a well. The overriding royalty is carved out of the Lessee’s (operator’s) working interest and entitles its owner to a fraction of production. It is limited in duration to the terms of a specific existing oil and gas lease, but is not subject to any of the expenses of development, operation or maintenance. An overriding royalty interest expires once the lease has expired and production has stopped, whereas minerals and royalty owners maintain their ownership after production stops.

Denbury cannot provide an appraisal as the value is a matter of opinion. You may contact a royalty broker or local banker in the county/parish where your lease is located.

All states have laws that require the reporting of unclaimed funds belonging to owners who cannot be located. Please contact the applicable state(s) to reclaim funds that have been escheated and belong to you. A website you may find helpful is the National Association of Unclaimed Property Administrators.

All changes of ownership must be filed on record in the County/Parish/State where the property is located. We cannot provide forms for conveying real property interests. Please contact an attorney for assistance in document selection and preparation.

Occasionally, adjustments must be made on revenue previously paid to you. When this occurs, the original payment is reversed and the new amount is paid. These negative amounts must be subtracted when calculating your total. These adjustments become necessary for various reasons such as: we were originally provided incorrect production figures (volumes) or pricing from the transporter or gatherer of production and a correction is required; production may be allocated incorrectly and must be corrected; or a tax rate may have changed. We make every effort to properly account for the volume and price in accordance with your lease agreement and state statutes. When a correction is necessary, it could result in a negative or positive effect on your check.
