A division order analyst works for a petroleum company and oversees company records. As a division order analyst, you establish, prepare, review, approve, and maintain documents regarding production and land ownership for royalty owners.

To put it another way the formula is: lessor's acres in unit ÷ total number of acres in unit × lessor's ownership interest × lessor's royalty percentage = lessor's decimal interest.
