Frequently Asked Questions

Why did I receive a Division Order and what does it mean?

You received a Division Order because our title records show you own an interest in the property described on the Division Order form. A Division Order is a document that indicates a new well(s) have been drilled or transfer of interest has occurred. You may also receive a Division Order on an existing well, if, Franklin Mountain Energy takes over operation of the well from another company. The following information is listed on a Division Order.

1. The well(s) for which revenues will be distributed

2. The operator of the well(s) listed

3. The owner's remittance address

4. The owner's ID with Franklin Mountain Energy

5. The owner's decimal interest in the property, which is their proportionate share of the production from the well(s)

6. The owner's pay or suspense statusif we do not have a Social Security Number (SSN) or Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) on file, Franklin Mountain Energy will request you complete and return an IRS Form W-9 that we will provide with the Division Order. You will be asked to sign and return the Division Order showing that you agree with Franklin Mountain Energy records. Franklin Mountain Energy uses this information to remit the appropriate portion of the proceeds from oil and gas sales to each owner. A division Order does not alter or amend the lease in any way.

Why am I being asked to provide an IRS Form W-9
