Owner Relations & Division Order FAQs

A division order is a document that confirms each owner's decimal interest in the production revenue from a well or unit. It establishes the legal percentage ownership used to pay royalties and ensures every mineral and royalty interest owner receives their correct share of proceeds.

Mineral and royalty owners can reach Valor's owner relations team by phone at 817-370-0612 or by email at [email protected]. Valor responds to owner inquiries within 48 hours and serves as the outsourced division order department for operators and oil and gas purchasers.

Include the operator name, your owner/payee number (assigned by the operator), the property name or number, your Social Security number or Tax Identification Number, and your current address, email, and phone number. Providing these details lets Valor locate your account and resolve title or payment questions quickly.

Royalties are placed in suspense when an issue prevents payment — most commonly an unconfirmed title, a missing or outdated address, a decimal-interest dispute, or an operator hold. Valor tracks suspended balances by reason and works to release legitimate suspensions so owners can be paid.

Notify owner relations in writing with supporting documentation (such as a deed, probate order, or transfer document). Valor updates the division of interest and pay deck, processes the title change, and maintains a documented audit trail so future payments reflect the correct ownership.

Valor handles division order issuance and processing, pay-deck maintenance, owner pay-status management, EIN/TIN validation, locating unknown owners, suspended-balance resolution, 1099 reconciliation, and full owner customer support — operating as the division order department for operators and oil and gas purchasers.
