Owner Relations

Many factors may influence your payment each month, including but not limited to market conditions, suspended payments, adjustments (including overpayments or underpayments), fluctuating commodity prices, regulatory or contractual changes, production volumes, seasonal conditions and routine maintenance or operating issues which may affect the volumes produced from a well during a given time period.

Monthly payments will vary and are based on a variety of factors which include, but are not limited to, market conditions, suspended payments, adjustments (including overpayments or underpayments), fluctuating commodity prices, regulatory or contractual changes, production volumes, seasonal conditions and routine maintenance or operating issues, which may affect the volumes produced from a well during a given time period.

Variances can occur due to special marketing arrangements, unit calculations or other contractual agreements. The value is still proportionally correct.

Occasionally adjustments must be made on revenue previously paid to you. When this occurs, the original payment is reversed, and the new amount is paid. Adjustments are necessary for various reasons such as: originally provided production figures were not correct, (volumes) or pricing from the transporter or gatherer of production required adjusting; production may be allocated incorrectly and must be adjusted; we received updated title information and an adjustment was made to the DOI, or a tax rate may have changed. We make every effort to properly account for the volume and price in accordance with your lease agreement and state statutes. When a correction is necessary, it could reflect negatively or positively on your check.

Oil and Gas proceeds are paid in accordance with Section 91.402 of the Texas Natural Resources Code unless otherwise specified in your contract.

This can occur because ownership between family members is not always equal. In addition, there is the possibility a party has not provided Surge Energy with their Tax ID Number (TIN), Social Security Number, or other required information. In addition, some family members may own an interest in other additional properties. Other factors possibly causing variances in check amounts can be related to stale dated checks, returned checks or money held in suspense.
