Owners use them to exchange information about permits, drilling activity, statements and deductions, and other developments that affect their minerals.

Division order received for this lease
My division order lists a decimal of 0.012500, which matches the county appraisal roll. Do the other owners’ division orders show the same figure?

Statements, ownership decimals and documents can be shared here. Only members of this group can view them.
4 of the 9 owners of record have joined. You can send a direct message to any member. Direct messages do not appear in the group.
Nobody administers this room. Membership follows the appraisal roll for lease 10001, so no listed owner can be removed from the group for their own lease.

From one summary card to the full directory: four levels of detail.
One summary card: how many new messages are waiting and the group most of it is in, with a button to open it.
Your groups, in one line: new posts across your groups, then your own groups as cards.
The full directory: tabs, search, and inside each group the feed search and sort, and the Members tab.
Everything in Detailed, plus each group’s region, operator and owners of record on its card.
Each lease you claim opens its private group. Then invite the co-owners who haven’t joined yet.
Free plan, no card needed. Public groups open with a free account; your lease groups open when you claim.
Not sure your leases are on record? Find your record first. Claiming connects your workspace to a record. It does not establish ownership, title or entitlement to payment. The availability and accuracy of records may vary.
