Please submit a Change of Address Form by mail to 1400 16th St., Suite 300, Denver, CO 80202 or by email to royalty.relations@purewest.com. Address changes will not be accepted via telephone.

Changes in ownership or owner status for land and mineral rights require updated title records. Please submit these recorded documents to royalty.relations@purewest.com.

You can find your owner number on the following:

• Revenue Check Stub
• Division Order
• EnergyLink Account
• In the Account Number Box on your PureWest 1099

A Division Order is a record of your interest in a specific well or wells. It contains your decimal interest, interest type, well number and well name. Whenever you receive a Division Order, please sign and send back via mail or to royalty.relations@purewest.com and keep a copy for your records.

An oil and gas lease is a legal contract between mineral rights owner (Lessor) and a company or individual (Lessee) that grants the Lessee the right to explore for, drill, and produce oil and gas from the minerals owned by the Lessor.

Owners must submit in writing a new Direct Deposit Form along with a blank voided check and/or a bank letter from your banking institution. This must be mailed to the PureWest office or submitted via royalty.relations@purewest.com. You may also download the Direct Deposit Form to begin enrollment or submit changes by logging into your EnergyLink Account. If you elect to receive electronic payments, you will no longer receive your payment detail by mail. However, you can access the detail online via your EnergyLink account.

If your account is in “Pay” status and has reached the minimum monthly accrual of $100.00, you should receive your check by the first week of each month.

A Form-1099 is a collection of tax forms used to report non-employee income for tax purposes. It is documentation to be provided to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to show payments made by an individual or business that is not your employer. These are sent out by January 31st each year per the IRS Deadline. If you do not receive your 1099 by February 15th, please contact us.

PureWest is not responsible for lost or stolen checks. It is the owner’s responsibility to contact PureWest if they have not received their revenue payment.
If your check has been lost or stolen, please contact us immediately and provide your owner number and issue date of the check in question via email to royalty.relations@purewest.com. All accounts, unless otherwise requested, have a $100.00 check minimum requirement. Payments will be issued on the following check cycle once the check minimum has been met.

Owners can submit their signed and dated W9 Forms via email or mail to the PureWest Office.

WOGCC is a state regulatory agency responsible for overseeing the development and conservation of Wyoming’s oil and natural gas resources. WOGCC is the primary regulatory body for oil and gas in Wyoming, ensuring that development is done safely, fairly, and in compliance with state and federal laws. They balance the economic benefits of energy development with environmental and landowner protections. wogcc.wyo.gov

The surface hole location is the exact point on the ground where a wellbore begins drilling. Think of it as the entry point on the surface that leads down into the subsurface target. In order to have a surface hole location, you must have approval from State and/or Federal Agencies.

The bottom hole location (often abbreviated BHL) is the exact subsurface point where a drilled well ends and begins producing hydrocarbons. It’s essentially the final destination of the wellbore, deep in the target reservoir. In order to have a bottom hole location, you must have approval from State and/or Federal Agencies along with an oil and gas lease.

A directional well is an oil and gas well is intentionally drilled at an angle to reach a target that is not directly beneath the surface location. In our current development program, PureWest is exclusively drilling directional vertical wells.

• Surface Constraints: Sometimes you can’t drill directly above the reservoir (e.g., due to cities, rivers, or protected land).
• Multiple Wells from One Pad: Reduces land footprint by drilling several wells at slightly different angles from the same surface location.
• Avoiding Hazards: Steering helps bypass faults, unstable zones, or other subsurface risks.

Increased well density means drilling more wells within a given area of a reservoir or lease. Instead of wide spacing between wells, operators place them closer together to recover hydrocarbons more efficiently.

A setback is the minimum required distance between one oil and gas well and another oil and gas well, section quarter lines and lease lines. The setback only applies to the bottom hole location.

No. The setback order only applies to the subsurface and oil and gas.

The merging of contiguous leased lands along with increased density allows the operator to develop in a way that supports the following:

• Prevents waste of hydrocarbons and protects correlative rights of all owners while creating consistency and uniformity across the field.
• Allows for more wells to be drilled from a single pad location which reduces surface disturbance.

Surface commingling is the process of combining production from two or more oil or gas wells at the surface before it is measured, processed, or sold. Instead of each well having separate flowlines, separators, and measurement systems, their streams are merged at a common point.

• Optimize selection of metering methodologies
• Elimination of unnecessary surface equipment and trucking
• Less disturbance to wildlife
• Less surface disturbance closer to town
• Less potential emissions
• Optimization of reporting accuracy
• Protection of correlative rights
• Prevention of waste

PureWest is legally required to notify certain owners within a ½ to 1-mile radius of certain planned activities. This requirement ensures transparency and gives nearby property owners an opportunity to stay informed about operations in their area.

• When submitting a permit to drill / deepen / recomplete, including requirements under the split estate (surface use) statute to notify surface owners and negotiate.
• When a proposed well pad is near occupied structures (within 1,000 ft), advance notice with mitigation plans is required.
• When regulatory hearings or changes in spacing, pooling, or unitization are sought.

No action is required on your part unless you wish to provide comments or attend a public meeting (if one is scheduled). The notice is purely informational and ensures that you are aware of PureWest’s activities near your property.

Not necessarily. Receiving a notice does not mean drilling or other activities will take place on your property. It simply means there is proposed subsurface development within .5 to 1 mile of your land, and regulations require you be notified.

PureWest receives mailing information from county or state landowner records solely for the purpose of meeting its regulatory notification obligations. Your information is not used for marketing purposes.
