You earned the royalties. Make sure you're paid for them.
Owner First Royalty audits oil & gas statements line by line — finding underpayments, deductions, and missed volumes operators rarely correct on their own. Free review. We only earn when you recover.
Royalty statements are designed for operators, not owners.
Industry studies estimate 11–20% of royalty payments contain errors. Most owners never catch them — because checking would take a CPA, a landman, and a petroleum engineer working together.
Hidden deductions
Post-production costs quietly carved out of every check — often without a clear lease basis.
Mis-reported volumes
Underreported gas, NGLs, or condensate that never make it onto your statement.
Pricing manipulation
Affiliate sales and below-market index pricing that reduce the value you're paid on.
Statements built to confuse
Inherited interests, dozens of wells, monthly codes that change — most owners never reconcile them.
Four steps, zero risk to you.
From upload to recovery, we handle the technical work so you don't have to.

Recovery — we pursue it
We negotiate with the operator on your behalf. You approve the outcome. You pay a percentage only on dollars recovered.
The only firm where the owner comes first.
We exist because mineral owners — especially heirs who never asked to own royalty interests — deserve the same scrutiny operators apply to their own books.
AI does the heavy lifting
What used to take weeks of manual reconciliation runs in minutes — so we can review thousands of line items, not a sample.
Built for individual owners
Big firms chase institutional clients. We work with mineral owners earning $2K–$1M annually, especially inherited interests.
Aligned on outcomes
Contingency-based. No retainers, no hourly bills, no surprise invoices. If we don't recover, you don't pay.
Your data stays yours
Statements are encrypted, never sold, and used only for your audit. Plain-English reporting you actually own.
Built on the math, not the marketing.
We're an early-stage firm — so we lead with what the industry actually documents, not curated testimonials. As audits close, results will be published here with owner permission.
Curious if you're being underpaid?
A free 15-minute audit gives you a clear answer — and a documented report either way.
