The unit, the wells and the dates are real. The owner, the tract, the division order and the payments are a sample.

    Clarity from dirt to deposit.

    From the day a unit is formed to the day the first check arrives, this is what happens on your minerals, and what Clarity is doing at every step.

    A real pad in Mountrail County. Real wells, real dates. The owner is a sample.

    1. The hand-off

      Clarity becomes your address with each oil company and goes through your title, so we know what you own and what each well should pay you.

    2. Day 0: the permit

      Before a rig shows up, Clarity already knows the unit is coming: the hearing, the order, the permit, and whether your acres are leased. We work out the decimal to expect, watch for the AFE, or get open acres leased on the going terms. The order drew this unit on April 21, 2025, and the permit came June 12.

      Order 34203, the paragraph establishing the 2,560-acre spacing unit of Section 32, Township 152 North, Range 91 West and Sections 5, 8 and 17, Township 151 North, Range 91 West
      The permit's first row: file number 41997, dirt work date 06/15/2025, well name Rebel Federal 2-32-17H
    3. Day 3 to Day 20: dirt

      The permit names a day for dirt work. Clarity watches each satellite pass over the pad until the dirt moves. This one was still a field on June 16 and a finished pad by July 1.

    4. Day 46 to Day 394: rig, then oil

      Clarity follows the rig onto the pad, then each spud and first oil, and starts counting the days until you should be paid. The rig arrived September 5, 2025, and first oil came in July 2026.

    5. Day 500: the division order

      Clarity checks the decimal on each division order against your title, clears whatever is holding your money, and sends it back. This one arrived in suspense over a title requirement. Clarity cleared it with the recorded deed before the first check.

    6. Day 520 and Day 550: the first checks

      Clarity deposits each payment and goes through the detail behind it: decimal, volumes, price, deductions and taxes, and ensures variances are appropriate. July and August sales came on one check, on time.

    7. Each month after

      Every month Clarity goes through each oil company's data across everything you own, sends you reports built around what you want to see, and keeps after any well that should be paying you.

      Clarity's mid-month report, page 2: 5 new, 178 producing, 6 drilling, 3 drilled, 3 pad built and 7 permitted wells across 196 spacing units, eight wells with their units and status, and what a barrel paid you, WTI against your wells by month

    That is one pad on one tract. A family's minerals run to dozens of units under several companies, and the units keep being redrawn. We keep the list, and the file behind each line of it.

    What you need

    By the interest you hold.

    If you hold a royalty

    • Which units hold your acres, and which wells pay you.
    • A well that should pay you and does not, taken up with the oil company.
    • Each division order's decimal checked against your title before you sign.
    • The first check inside 150 days of first sale, or the interest the law adds.
    • The detail behind each payment analyzed: decimal, volumes, price, deductions by product, taxes.

    If you hold a working interest

    • The proposal on file, its thirty days, and the election ready for your signature.
    • Your interest checked against your acres and the unit's acres.
    • Each bill checked against the AFE and the interest you elected, then paid from here.
    • Revenue analyzed by production month; netting carried as both revenue and a bill paid.
    • Billed against the estimate by phase; your position and payout, well by well.
