ALTAVISTA ENERGY is actively drilling. That matters to you directly: new wells on or near your spacing unit change what your interest is worth, and undrilled locations an operator intends to drill are real value that an offer based on your current check ignores entirely.

Contact information on file with state regulators
These are the addresses and phone numbers ALTAVISTA ENERGY has registered with each state's oil and gas regulator. Regulator records are the most reliable public contact path for an operator, and they are frequently more current than what is printed on a check stub. Refreshed weekly from each agency's public file.

A registered agent address is not always the owner relations department. If the number above is a corporate switchboard, ask for owner relations or division order, and have your owner number ready.
If your check is late, wrong, or stopped
The remedies here are statutory in most states, and most owners never use them. Work in this order.
Send a written demand by certified mail, return receipt requested, with your owner number on it, and keep it to a single request. Most state royalty payment statutes and most contractual notice provisions require written demand before anything else becomes available, and the receipt establishes the date. Our free letter templates include ready to send versions.
Check what your state's statute actually gives you. Most producing states impose a payment deadline and automatic late payment interest. Our royalty payment laws by state page has the deadline, the interest rate, the minimum threshold, and the limitation period, each with its statute citation, including Kansas.
Read the deductions against your state's rule. Whether post production costs may be taken at all varies sharply by state, and a deduction that is routine in one state is a violation in another. Our statement decoder explains every line on the stub.
Escalate. Our complaints and disputes page sets out which forum handles which problem, in the order that actually produces results.
Common questions about ALTAVISTA ENERGY
My royalty check from ALTAVISTA ENERGY stopped. What happened?
The most common causes, in order: a title or ownership change that put your interest in suspense, an unprobated death in the chain, an address the operator could not deliver to, a balance under the state's minimum payment threshold so it is being held until it accumulates, or a change of payor after an acquisition. Payor changes are especially common right now across several basins, and owners frequently believe a royalty has stopped when it has only moved to a new company. Send us the last statement you received and we will tell you which of these it is, free.
How do I know whether my decimal is correct?
Compare the decimal on your check stub against your division order, and against your own arithmetic: net mineral acres divided by unit acres, times your royalty rate, times any depth or formation allocation. Our free calculators run that math. If it does not reconcile, request the unit's allocation factor and the recorded pooling or unitization order in writing. Decimal errors are usually clerical rather than deliberate, and operators generally correct them and pay the arrears once shown the arithmetic.
Can I sell my interest even though ALTAVISTA ENERGY operates the wells?
Yes. You own the mineral or royalty interest; the operator holds the lease and runs the wells. You can convey your interest without the operator's consent or involvement. After closing, the buyer files a transfer order and the operator redirects payment. Nothing about the operator's identity restricts your ability to sell, and you can also sell only part of what you own.
Own minerals ALTAVISTA ENERGY operates? Find out what they are worth.
Send a check stub or a division order. We will identify the interest, tell you what the wells and any remaining locations support, show you the reasoning, and tell you honestly if you should keep it. Free, no obligation, and no mailing list. We will also tell you if we think something on your statement is wrong.
Well counts and spud counts are sourced from Enverus and are current as of 2026-08; producing well counts reflect wells with a current status of producing, and spud counts cover the trailing 24 months across the 20 states where Berlin Royalties buys. Regulator contact records are refreshed weekly from each state agency's public file. Operators change names, merge, and sell assets frequently, so verify before relying on any of this. Berlin Royalties is a mineral buyer and a landman shop in Tulsa. We have no affiliation with ALTAVISTA ENERGY and nothing here is legal or financial advice.
