Jay-Bee works to get the best price for the gas we produce, but there are many factors that impact this price. Some of these can include the NYMEX Price of gas, certain buyers not needing gas every month, global events, pipeline issues/ maintenance and many other factors.

Please note that the amount of the reissued payment(s) will be included with your next royalty check; we will not issue a separate replacement check.
