Frequently Asked Questions

Where can I find my Buffalo Owner ID/Number

The Owner ID, also sometimes referred to as Owner Number or Owner Code, is a six-digit number shown on your check stub.

When can I expect to receive a royalty check?

Royalty payments are distributed to mineral owners whose properties are located within the given production unit allocated to each well.

Signing and returning you Division Order to Buffalo helps ensure timely delivery of your payment. The initial payment for a new well will be made within 120 days after the end of the month of first sale of production. Subsequent payments will be made within 60 days after the end of the calendar month in which oil production is sold or 90 days after the end of the calendar month in which gas production is sold.

Royalty payments may not be distributed right away if the payment is less than $25. Payments under $25 may be accrued before disbursement until the total amount equals $25 or more, or until December 31 of each year, whichever occurs first.

If you are aware of a producing well operated by Buffalo on or under your property and you have not received a Division Order from Buffalo, please use the Contact Us form below requesting a Division Order.
