Why is my royalty check lower? (55 seconds)

Four things move a royalty check: the lease sold less, the price fell, more came off, or your share changed. See how to tell which one moved yours with one sample check, and what to ask the payor to send. A 55-second cut of the full video.

Transcript

Your royalty check came in lower. Four things can move a check. Which one moved yours? One: the lease sold less. Two: the price fell. Three: more came off. Four: your share changed. One sample check fell sixteen point eight percent. The state's oil and the market explain six and a half percent. The stub priced the oil six eighty-six under WTI. In June, a dollar seventy-one. If the drop is bigger than that, ask. Please send the volume, price and deduction detail for my June and July sale months. Send it by certified mail. The payor must answer within thirty days. Split your own check's drop with our free diagnostic. The sources are on screen.

The sample owner is on a real Midland County lease (Interstate 8-32 C). The stubs are made up; the state volumes and WTI prices are real.
