2020 Q4

SOONER ASSOCIATION OF DIVISION ORDER ANALYSTS (SADOA) Association based in the Tulsa, OK Area

Superior’s hiring of their first Division Order Manager, Wayne Tate, CDOA/CPLTA, who was a seasoned Division Order/Title & Lease Analyst. Wayne has since retired. Special recognition is due to the late Faith Orlowski for being a meaningful legal source to confirm the legal aspects that crop up so often. Faith was always open for dialogue with her constituent SADOA members. Continuing over the years to reach out to as many oil and gas professionals as she could, including seasoned title analysts, Division Order managers, oil and gas attorneys, landmen, lease analysts, and the list goes on, Karen worked her way to becoming a Senior Division Order/Title Analyst. She feels each of these professionals have proven to be her most powerful learning tools. Her one and only regret was not taking the time to study for and earning her CDOA certification. “For the past 13 years, myself and my co-workers have had daily educational opportunities to learn something new regarding Division Order/Title work. SADOA has played a significant part in my personal and professional growth, providing me with the tools to become a more knowledgeable Senior Division Order/Title Analyst.” After 13 years, the abundance of learning opportunities still continues to entice her curiosities.

As Superior rapidly expanded, about a year and a half into her employment, she was offered her first exposure to the Division Order Analyst segment of the midstream industry. Thriving on the teamwork atmosphere at Superior, she was never afraid of a new challenging opportunity to step outside her comfort zone and learn a new aspect of the industry. With Superior’s encouragement, Karen attended two of Sherry Robinson and Rhonda Stacy’s ‘Division Order Beginnings’ classes, and she was hooked! From there, she used her instincts to ask a multitude of questions of mentor Sherry Robinson, former Division Order Manager of Superior’s parent company, Unit Corporation. As Karen said, “I was blessed to begin my journey in Division Orders, learning from the best.” Karen’s next mentor came from McKee! Karen began her employment with Superior Pipeline Co. 15 years ago. Coming from Newfield Exploration Mid-Continent
