Hi! 31 Operating was communicating with the heirs of a owner that passed away in 2019 until early May 2020. We submitted all the necessary paper work to their office and crickets. We are owed about 2 years of royalities. We have emailed and called multiple times without a response. I see that there is a Demand letter several folks had written. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks, Kent Coleman 214 906-1300

Hello, I am sorry to hear about your issues. There is definitely a major communication problem when dealing with 31 Operating.  Depending on what state your royalty is out of would probably direct you to a certain office,  The office for Louisiana wells is out of 3021 Ridge Rd., Suite 156, Rockwall, Texas, close to Dallas Texas. You need to send a Demand Letter ASAP either bye you or an oil and gas attorney.  I know there are laws in Louisiana that protect owners of mineral rights and royalties. Good Luck!

Hi Gary, Yes we have been working with Brittany Hill at the Rockwall location. I found a great outline of a demand letter on this site. I will draft one for the family today. Thanks

Carder Oil not making interest payments to Lease owners of Nat gas they are pulling out of Webster, Sibley Field wells. 

I am interested in knowing if there is other large acreage lease owners in the Sibley Field wells operated bye Carder Oil Company / 31 Operating,LLC, (Operator Name # 8270)?  This company is basically taking Natural Gas out of these wells, selling the gas then not paying Interest owners that this company has a Lease with.  I believe this might be called stealing. This company should be locked out of this field's wells, suspend Lease, then sign a new Lease with a Company that will honor their obligation to pay their Interest to Lease owners. Please Private message me if you like.

Thank you for posting regarding 31 Operating. 6 owners in our group are not getting paid. Please keep us posted on how we may take this to LA Attorney's Generals office.

The Louisiana AG is not likely to address this issue.  The AG is more likely to attempt to push it onto the plate of the Department of Natural Resources.  I wouldn't expect the department to get involved either.  Both will want the issue to be addressed, if at all, in civil court.  If enough mineral lessors under Carder/31 Op would get together and share the cost of a qualified O&G law firm, that may be your only reasonable avenue for relief.  This does appear to have been going on a long time now.
