Photos are fine. Lay the stub flat, get the whole page in and use daylight. Many months at once is best!

Know your decimal interest? Optional

Your decimal interest(optional)

It is on your division order and on most check stubs. Leave it blank and we read it from the statement. Type it only when all your statements are from one lease, because each lease has its own. Not sure? Use the decimal calculator.

Your privacy

In a PDF, Social Security and tax ID numbers are blacked out before the page is read. A photo goes as it is, so cover any Social Security or tax ID number on it first. Your files are private to you and stored encrypted. You can delete a check and every file in it at any time from its page. Prices, deductions and days to pay from your statement count, without your name, toward an anonymous comparison of companies, and only when 5 or more owners are behind a figure. Opt out.

Paid through EnergyLink?Bring your statements from there in a few clicks.

Many operators post royalty statements on EnergyLink instead of mailing them. You don’t need to print or photograph anything:

Sign in at energylink.com (opens in a new tab) and open your dashboard, where your statements are listed by month.
Find the months you want checked and download the PDF next to each one. If your account offers an Excel or CSV download of the check detail, that works too: we read spreadsheets line by line.
Drop the files in the box above. Several months at once is best. PDFs can also be forwarded to statements@royaltyclerk.com; spreadsheets go in the box.

We never ask for your EnergyLink password and don’t sign in for you.

Transcript of “Is your royalty check right?”

Is your royalty check right?

Once a month, a royalty check arrives in the mail. You cash it. You trust it. But is it right? So we do what a careful bookkeeper would do. We read every line, with a red pen. The decimal. The barrels of oil. The price you were paid. The fees taken out. This is a real lease in Midland County, Texas, with a sample owner.

Your lease in the state's own records

Then we look up your lease in the state's own records. Every Texas lease reports its oil sales to the state each month. Multiply that by your share, and you know what you should have been paid. For February, the state says this owner's share was 12.93 barrels. The stub says 11.89.

Four findings

That's eight percent short, four months in a row. About $285. Next, the price. For three months, the price paid fell far behind the West Texas benchmark. That's $766. Then the big one. January 2025 was never paid at all. The state shows 28,175 barrels sold, right when the operator changed. That's about $2,277. And one worth asking about. The gas now goes to a pipeline, but every statement still takes a processing fee. That's $552, worth a question.

Adding it up

Add it up, and this owner is likely owed $3,328. Plus $579 worth asking about. A sample owner, on a real lease.

What you get, and how to start

You get every finding in plain English, with the numbers from both sides. A letter you can send, with the exact question to ask. A PDF report to keep. And when everything is right, we tell you that too. Try your first check free. Send us your stub at royaltyclerk.com.
