post-production costs

Texas oil companies generally owe no fiduciary duty to royalty owners, yet want discretion over your costs. See the fair trade every operator should face.

A royalty overpayment clause lets the operator take money back from future checks. See why Texas owners cannot verify that correction any more than the first.

An inherited oil and gas lease can pass through a dozen Texas owners. See how its cost terms pass down with it, and why no heir can ever verify the deductions.

Operators give working interest partners itemized bills and audit rights on the same wells. See why Texas royalty owners rarely get a royalty audit right.

Many deductions never appear on a Texas royalty statement. They are netted into the price first. See why your stub cannot prove what was taken, or why.

Under many Texas leases, the operator alone decides which costs that enhance value you must share, and how much. See why that gap drives royalty deductions.

A Texas lease can promise no deductions and take them back one sentence later. See how oil and gas royalty deductions return through a single exception.
