Permalink Reply by Skip Peel - Mineral Consultant on When wells are unitized, the monthly production volume on SONRIS is the cumulative total for all the wells. There are only two instances when the reported production is for an individual well. When there is only the original unit well producing or the well is a Cross Unit Alternate Unit Well denoted "HC". That case requires a separate SONRIS search. In the SONRIS Data Portal go to the Production Audit section. The first search option will be "Cross Unit Well Production by Well". You only need the well serial number and the production dates. Leave the rest of the search form blank. You may have to work with the beginning and ending dates to get the hang of it. Hopefully this link will work, if so bookmark it.

Permalink Reply by Skip Peel - Mineral Consultant on The numbers on your vouchers are not supposed to match what is on SONRIS although they should be close. The reason for this is that Louisiana requires volumes to be reported at a standard temperature and pressure. That is what you see on SONRIS. Individual companies report volumes and calculate royalty on their own selected temps and pressures. For example, Chesapeake uses the Oklahoma standard regardless of the state where the natural gas was produced.

In researching the decades-old Tuscaloosa Trend and the immense wealth it has generated for many, I find it deeply troubling that this resource-rich formation runs directly beneath one of the poorest communities in North Baton Rouge—near Southern University, Louisiana—yet neither the university ( that I am aware of) nor local residents appear to have received any compensation for the minerals extracted from their land.
This area has suffered immense environmental degradation…
