01 The Company

Who Citizen is, and what they hold.

A privately funded, Tulsa-based independent active in the SCOOP, STACK, and Merge plays of the Anadarko Basin, and the company that acquired Roan Resources in 2019.

Citizen Energy is a privately funded oil and gas company headquartered in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and an affiliate of Warburg Pincus. Its Oklahoma position is concentrated in the SCOOP, STACK, and Merge plays of the Anadarko Basin, the assets it acquired through Roan Resources.

As a private company, Citizen does not file the public financial and production disclosures that publicly traded operators do, so the Oklahoma Corporation Commission record is the authoritative public source for operator and well information on Citizen-operated properties.

03 What This Means for Mineral Owners

If you receive royalty checks from Citizen.

Many Citizen owners previously received checks from Roan Resources. What matters now is verifying the interest through the public record and reaching the operator for account questions.

If your statements changed from Roan Resources to Citizen Energy, that reflects the 2019 acquisition, not a change to your underlying mineral interest. Because Citizen is private, verifying operator status, well status, and production volumes runs through the Oklahoma Corporation Commission rather than company filings.

Citizen’s published website does not provide a dedicated owner relations channel, owner portal, or owner-specific contact. If you are trying to reach the right desk about a Citizen-paid interest and cannot find it, we are happy to help you figure out who to contact, whether or not you ever sell.

04Questions Mineral Owners Ask

What peopleactually ask about Citizen.

Honest answers to the things owners most often want to know about Citizen-paid interests, including the Roan transition.

01
My royalty checks used to come from Roan Resources. Why do they now come from Citizen?
Citizen Energy acquired Roan Resources in 2019. Roan was a public operator (NYSE: ROAN) developing the Merge, SCOOP, and STACK plays of the Anadarko Basin in Oklahoma. The transaction transferred operator of record on the affected wells; the underlying mineral interest carried over unchanged. If your statements changed from Roan to Citizen, that is why.
02
Citizen is private. How do I find information about their operations?
As a privately funded company, Citizen does not publish the detailed financial or production information that public companies file. The Oklahoma Corporation Commission well database is the authoritative public source for operator status, well status, and production volumes, searchable by well, by API number, or by section, township, and range.
03
How do I reach Citizen Energy about a royalty account?
Citizen Energy's published website does not provide a dedicated owner relations or division order page, owner portal, or owner-specific phone or email. The company lists only a general office contact in Tulsa, Oklahoma. If you cannot reach the right desk, we are happy to help you figure out who to contact, whether or not you ever sell.
04
Can I sell mineral rights that pay royalties through Citizen?
Yes. Mineral rights paid through Citizen (or still showing Roan) are bought and sold the same way as any other producing interest. The sale is a transaction between you and the buyer and does not require Citizen's involvement. We are happy to look at what you have and walk through what it might be worth.
05
I inherited mineral rights and the prior owner's name is on the paperwork. How do I update the account?
This requires probate documentation. Once the estate has been probated and you have Letters Testamentary or equivalent court paperwork, you submit copies with a recorded conveyance (a mineral deed of distribution, probate decree, or similar) to the operator, along with a new W-9 in your name, to have the division order re-issued.
