Changing market conditions can cause price fluctuations, natural depletion, mechanical or operational problems or routine maintenance may temporarily affect production, causing downtime. If you have reason to believe an error has occurred, email us at ownerrelations@saddlebackexp.com
Payments are made in accordance with the applicable State Statute. After the payment for initial production is made, Saddleback pays for oil and gas production when accounts accrue $100. Generally speaking, we receive oil revenue around the 20th of the month and gas revenue around the last day of the month. We typically distribute this revenue in one check run within the first 14 days of the month.
Checks not deposited within 12 months will be voided and placed in suspense or reissued if you are currently depositing checks.
A Division Order authorizes the sale of production (oil and/or gas) from a producing well and, pursuant to Texas statute, is sent to all royalty and working interest owners for their signatures. Division Orders include the interest of production owned by each party, their addresses, social security or tax identification numbers, and a legal description of the property on which the well(s) is located. You signature on the Division Order allows you to be put into pay status and begin receiving your royalty payments.
