How can I obtain a copy of my lease or a legal description of my interest?
+
Battalion Oil requires a signed letter that includes the owner name, owner number, county and state where the property is located. Please include your daytime phone number including area code and taxpayer identification or the last four digits of your social security number for verification. Please mail your request to Battalion Oil, Attn: Division Orders, 3505 West Sam Houston Parkway North, Suite 300
Houston, Texas 77043 or email the request to OwnerRelations@battalionoil.com.
When will I get paid on a newly drilled well?
+
Please review your lease documents. Generally, it takes approximately 90 days from the date of first production to receive a revenue payment. Please note that you must sign and return your Division Order before you will start receiving payment.
What is the purpose of my “Owner Number”?
+
You have been assigned an exclusive owner number to distinguish you from other interest owners. When communicating with Battalion Oil, please include your owner number.
Why haven’t I received my check?
+
The most common reason is because your account has not reached your minimum pay status. Occasionally, payments are held due to matters which create uncertainty as to ownership, such as a notice of death, change of address, transfer of property, assignment of interest or legal dispute. Payments due are accumulated and released when the matter affecting ownership has been resolved. Please use the contact information provided on this page for inquiries regarding suspense balances.
What should I do if my check is lost, stolen, or older than 120 days?
+
Please allow at least 10 business days before reporting a royalty check missing. If you believe that your check has been stolen, contact us immediately at the phone number provided on this page.
How do I set up ACH (direct deposit)?
+
All interest owners are encouraged to sign up for ACH payments. To sign up for ACH payments, please complete the ACH Authorization Form and return it along with a voided check or official bank document to ownerrelations@battalionoil.com.
