We found no wells spudded by RIDGE OIL & GAS, LLC in the last 24 months in the states we track. That does not mean your interest is worthless. It means its value sits in the existing production tail rather than in future drilling, and it should be priced that way rather than with a development premium attached.
How to find current contact information
We do not have a registered regulator address on file for RIDGE OIL & GAS, LLC in the five states where we maintain that data. The most reliable routes are the owner number and payor address printed on your check stub, and the operator record at the state regulator for the state your wells are in. Our well records by state page links every state's free public search, and our searchable operator directory covers more than 38,000 operators refreshed weekly.
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 Montana.
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 RIDGE OIL & GAS, LLC
My royalty check from RIDGE OIL & GAS, LLC 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 RIDGE OIL & GAS, LLC 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 RIDGE OIL & GAS, LLC 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 RIDGE OIL & GAS, LLC and nothing here is legal or financial advice.
