I get royalties from Comstock every month from a variety of wells in different units.  My interest is small.

My royalty check for May was about 20% of what it usually is.  This follows another small check earlier this year due to payments of severance taxes to La.  I sent an email to Owner Relations to ask why the check was so small when the well volumes posted on Sonris didn't reflect a huge drop in production.  The response was the following:  

“We have a partner working interest owner who is marketing their own gas. When revisions were processed in the well, gas was rebalanced and the gas volumes marked by Comstock changed, therefore the volumes changed for the owners in the well”.

A subsequent email told me that Comstock is paying all of the royalties, so I've gotten all that I'm owed.

Can anyone explain to me how "rebalancing" volumes cost me $1000?
