Owner Relations
Our Owner Relations Department serves as a communication center to answer your inquiries and facilitate transfers of interest. We receive many requests for transfers of interest daily. All requests for transfer of interest should be submitted in writing, along with the appropriate documentation, and include the owner’s name, owner number, and state where the well is located.
We are available by phone on our Owner Relations line. Leave a message including your name, the owner’s name, owner number, and a daytime phone number. Owner calls are generally returned within three (3) business days. Some inquiries may require additional time for research. Use the appropriate links on this page for guidance in satisfying our requirements for address changes, reporting the death of an owner, transfers of interest and for answers to frequently asked questions.

Heirship Affidavit
When someone passes away (also known as the Decedent) without a will or if the will is not probated in the state where the property is located and the estate is rather small, an Affidavit of Heirship may be used to determine who to pay based on the laws of descent and distribution for that state. Texas is the only state that we operate in that allows foreign probate to be filed for record in the county where the property is located without opening ancillary proceedings.
