Came to it from

Older stubs for the same wells may carry one of these names.

Counted from the operator named on each lease’s monthly production report, Jan 2020 to Aug 2026. A date is the month the reports changed, not the day of a sale. A lease can move without the company being sold, and the company that pays you is not always the operator.

The name on your check

Whose oil and gas BPX Operating Company buys or moves

The newest state filings list BPX Operating Company as a gatherer on 18 producing leases of 5 operators in 5 Texas counties.

Why a buyer pays you

On many leases the company that buys the oil or gas pays the royalty owners directly, under a division order, in place of the operator. Your check and your 1099 then carry the buyer’s name.

Who to ask about what

Ask the buyer about the check: price, deductions, your decimal, a missing payment. Ask the operator about the well: whether it is producing, new drilling, a shut-in.

Is my lease one of them?

Searches only the leases the state lists with BPX Operating Company. Nothing you type is saved.
