Non Consent Owner

Are you doing a workover on a well and an owner has chosen to go non-consent?

You can handle this by setting up one of the other expense classes in the DOI for this well (expense class 5, for example) with all the Working Interest percentages who are participating in the workover. Then, as you enter workover expenses for this well in the Enter Bills screen, choose 5 in the Class pulldown menu. This will allow the expense on that well to be charged to the participating Working Interest owners, and not those who are non-consent. Once you reach the set contract amount you can let the expenses default to the Working Interest class 0, which will include all Working Interest owners.

If this owner should not be receiving any revenue from the well while it’s being worked over, you can take out his percentage of revenue interest in the well and transfer it to other owners in the well if appropriate. You can do this transfer easily using the Transfer DOI Between Owners utility under the Utilities menu. Also, be sure to transfer interest only for this well. Then once the workover is complete you can change the interests back.
