Frank,
The earliest you can expect to see a royalty check is two months after the first production month. If your operator sends out division orders, then it will be several month down the road. Most likely 4 to 6 months after first production month.
From what I hear, it depends on your operator. Our CHK well started production in Feb and we hope to have our Division Orders in a few weeks, with the first check around the first of Sept.
I understand some others are a little faster.
