EOG has not paid us our royalties in a timely fashion. Our first check came 6 months after drilling. Has anyone called them on this and if so, what happened?
Ok, I emailed my contact and lo and behold, they responded and a check is in the works. My next question is how it is calculated. I know what the TNR Code says, but it is kind of ambiguous and up for interpretation. I need guidance to make sure we get the proper amount. The code says " payment must be paid to each payee by payor on or before 120 days after the end of the month of first sale of production from the well" and the payor must pay interest beginning at the expiration of those time limits at 2% above the percentage rate charged on loans to depository institutions by the New York Federal Reserve Bank. So, is the interest compounded, calculated daily or monthly? Alot of questions on how to read and calculate it.

Correct, from all that I have read/heard they are not on official notice until you have taken the steps to send your information demand letter via certified mail.
