What a check stub tells a reviewer
A statement usually shows the operator, the well or unit name, the production month, the volumes, the price received, deductions, and your decimal interest. Those fields let someone estimate current cash flow without guessing.
Twelve months of statements is ideal because it captures seasonal price swings and any downtime.
Production declines are normal
Horizontal wells across the Permian, SCOOP/STACK, and DJ basins produce most heavily in their first year or two, then flatten. A recent high check does not represent a permanent run rate, and a low check does not always mean the interest is finished.
Keeping versus selling
Some owners prefer steady income and the possibility of future development. Others prefer certainty now, especially when an interest is shared among heirs. Neither choice is automatically correct, and there is no obligation to accept an offer.
