Owner relations
How to reach General Operating Company as an owner
Not checked yet

- Look at a recent check stub or statement. The phone number and address printed on it usually reach the owner relations department.
- Search the company’s own website for “owner relations” or “royalty owners”. Larger operators have a page and an online owner portal.
- The Railroad Commission file above has the company’s mailing address. A letter sent there reaches the company, though not always the right desk.
