The reasons will vary. If there is less than $25.00 in your account, a check will not automatically be issued. Also, we could have a bad or unknown address on file for you or your interest could be in suspense. Payments are made only for those months when oil and gas is sold from properties in which you have an interest. If there are no sales from these properties, then Nortex will not issue a check for that recording period. Adjustments to earlier payments can result in a negative account balance. In such an event, the negative balance will be carried forward until the account returns to a positive balance exceeding $25.00. At that time a check will again be issued. For more information please contact the Hotline (1-888-766-6819) by phone or email.

If a check is lost, stolen or becomes outdated due not being cashed within 90 days from issuance, please call the Hotline (1-888-766-6819) or send an email for instructions on how to get a check voided and reissued. We recommend enrolling in our ACH Direct Deposit service to avoid payment delays.
