This class action concerns proper royalty payments for gas and oil leases in North Dakota for which Hess Bakken Investments II, LLC is the lessee. The plaintiff and lessor, Ronald Penman, entered into the lease with a different company in October 2009 and Hess took over as lessee in 2010. The complaint alleges that Hess has made improper deductions from the amount of oil owed, paid royalties late without adding the required late fee, and made improper deductions for post-production gas expenses.
