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

If your check is not received within 15 business days of the normal payment date, please contact Denbury Owner Relations to reissue the check.  Funds are normally reissued with your next check. Please understand that if you ask for a replacement check the original check will be immediately voided. This means that if the original check arrives on the next day you should NOT CASH it as this check will not be honored by Denbury.

Please see the check detail example for more information on understanding your check.

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.  The 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. A net proceeds interest 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 247 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 (OR) 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.

Yes, upon your request we will obtain a copy and send it to you either by fax or mail.

Provide a copy of the conveyance document properly recorded in the country/parish where your mineral interest is located.

This column includes but is not limited to costs associated with gathering, transporting, dehydrating, and processing oil and gas.

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 affect on your check.

Payment is made as soon as complete title information is received but no later than the terms of the lease or state statutes allow.

Denbury Resources Inc. 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.
