Norton County production has been remarkably flat, 150,000 to 166,000 barrels a year since 2019 from about 150 wells, which is what old Arbuckle fields tend to do. Flat is valuable. We price the actual lease off its history, pay for the longevity, and show you the work, free. My Kansas royalty checks arrive late. Does the operator owe me interest? Yes. Under K.S.A. 55-1614, proceeds not paid on time accrue interest at the New York Federal Reserve discount rate plus 1.5 points, unless there is a genuine title dispute. If you are inheriting a stack of stale checks, send them along; we read the pay history as part of any valuation, free. Do I owe property tax on Kansas minerals I do not even get paid on? In some Kansas counties, yes. Severed mineral interests can be assessed for property tax by the county appraiser, and unpaid taxes on a forgotten interest can put it at risk. Check with the county treasurer under the name on the deed. We look for delinquent mineral tax on every Kansas tract we research, free. What does it cost me to sell? Nothing. Berlin pays all title work, document preparation, and recording costs.
