Owner Relations

A Division Order is a document prepared by Prima Exploration, as operator, stating the owner’s interest type, pay code, and net revenue interest (NRI) in a well or wells. Please note that a Division Order does not alter any previous agreement or lease agreements between the Payor and the Payee.

As of January 25, 2024, Prima Exploration will utilize EnergyLink for all our Revenue statements.

If you do not currently have an account with EnergyLink, enrollment is simple. Go to the website and select the "New to EnergyLink" hyperlink under the Login button. Please have your owner number and most recent payment amount available. 

**NOTE REGARDING OWNER NUMBERS**

Prima recently went through a software conversion which required a modification of owner numbers. If the owner number you have on file begins with the number 1, please use that same owner number, but add a 5 in front of the 1 (ie. change 1xxxx to 51xxxx) when you register for EnergyLink. If that does not work, please contact Prima for assistance.

Revenue checks will be issued by the 25th of each month. Check detail will be available on EnergyLink around the same time. 

Prima Exploration issues a revenue check at the end of the month only if the amount in the account has reached $100.00 or more. Once your account reaches $100.00, a check will be issued in the next accounting period.

Prima now allows you to opt into ACH for revenue payments. Are you interested in receiving your revenue checks via direct deposit? If so, please print the Prima ACH form, complete all fields, and mail it to the address at the bottom of the form. You must also send in a voided check that includes routing and account numbers, and a W-9 form. If you are unable to print this form, Prima can mail you a copy. Call 303-755-5681 and select 1 to reach Prima’s Land Department.

For a royalty interest use the following formula:

MINERAL INTEREST x (TRACT NET ACRES / SPACING UNIT ACRES) x ROYALTY RATE PER LEASE = NRI

Prima Exploration now uses EnergyLink for all our Joint Interest Billing statements.

Invoices should be available on EnergyLink the last week of the month following the production month. Working interest owners with overdue JIB accounts will be set up for revenue netting and can only be removed at the discretion of the JIB department. Contact Prima if you have questions. 

If you do not currently have an account with EnergyLink, enrollment is simple. Go to the website and select the "New to EnergyLink" hyperlink under the Login button. Please have your owner number and most recent invoice available.

Per Federal Law, we are required to have a Tax ID or SSN on file. If not, a 24% tax withholding will be applied and will not be refunded by Prima Exploration. If you have recently provided Prima Exploration with an updated W-9, you do not need to provide an additional W-9 unless there are any changes to be made to your account.

Prima Exploration pays per record title, and through our title review there may be a title requirement that needs to be resolved before the interest is placed in pay. Please refer to the Division Order or contact Prima’s owner relations for more information about your unique circumstance.

Please allow two weeks for revenue checks to be received. If you still have not received a check by the 14th of the month, please contact Prima Exploration using the contact form or at (303)755-5681.
