A Wyoming Division Order is a legal document that establishes the rights and distribution of royalty payments to mineral interest owners in the state of Wyoming. It outlines the specific portions or divisions of a producing oil or gas well to which each owner is entitled. Division orders are crucial in ensuring fair and accurate allocation of royalties among all stakeholders involved in the extraction and production process. Key elements typically included in a Wyoming Division Order are: property description, legal description of the mineral interests, the name and address of the operator, decimal interest calculation, royalty payment information, and signatures of both the mineral owners and the operator. In Wyoming, there are primarily two types of Division Orders: Standard Division Orders and Modified Division Orders. 1. Standard Division Orders: These are typically used when the ownership interests are clear and straightforward. They allocate the royalties based on the proportional ownership percentage of each mineral interest owner. Standard Division Orders are commonly utilized when there are no disputes or complexities surrounding mineral ownership. 2. Modified Division Orders: These are employed when ownership interests are more complex or disputed. Modified Division Orders are specifically tailored to address unique circumstances such as ownership conflicts, unleashed interests, unresolved warship issues, or title defects. These orders often involve additional legal documentation and specific instructions to ensure that royalties are appropriately distributed. The Wyoming Division Orders serve as a crucial instrument in the oil and gas industry, providing a legal framework to allocate royalties accurately and efficiently. They aid in minimizing disputes and providing an equitable distribution of revenue among the various mineral interest owners.
