Mr. Jones, section 9 is spaced with section 4 according to the GIS map. All in the spacing share in proportion to the amount of acres they contribute to the spacing, which appears to be 1280. It doesn't matter where the acres are in the spacing, they all earn the same amount per acre.

I own the partial mineral rights to 157N, 98W sec 9 ( in Williams county).  A well has been drilled on the property CASS 9-IH.    I assume a horizontal was drilled which would have taken in sec 9 as well  as the full length of the adjacent property, which is 2 miles.  My question is , If the well is on our property , do the owners of the adjacent property reap the same benefits if oil is found and if so how do the oil companies devide the royalties?  In this case it is Cont. Res.

Daren, it is my understanding that the next contact they will probably have is the Division order.  That could easily be 8 months from now.

Question: My mother signed a lease with someone (I don't know who) a few years ago. She and her sister only get 8% royalty which seems low but Kodiak drilling unit 328 has drilled 2 wells on their property at NWNE15-155N-99W. They just moved the rig off location so I assume production will begin shortly and NOONE has contacted her at this point. Does that seem normal?? I should think that someone from the oil company would get hold of her to tell her when she would receive a check and/or how she'll be informed about production, etc. I find it odd that she heard nothing.

William:

Both rw and Daniel have excellent points but I would still contact Hess in regards to your unleased minerals just for the record.  I would then aggressively market these minerals to others.

Many thanks for your insite. I will continue to work with my Houston consultant and market my holdings to Hess and all other interested parties.

Mr. Hasskamp, as I believe Mr. Dayton was alluding to, it would probably be in your best interest [ it usually is  ] to market your lease as far and wide as you can.

Actually Charles, he may be in a very terrible "negotiating spot".  If Hess has a majority of the mineral interest already controlled, which can be assumed if they have a drilling permit they don't have to offer him anything more then the average amount in the pooling/drilling unit.  However, there are those that might want to get in under the well.

William:

Looks like Hess has a permit to drill the well but it doesn't appear the rig is on location drilling.  You can contact Hess and inform them about the status of your lease.  If you can't reach an agreement on the letoase terms, you can stay unleased and participate in the well.  Be sure to fully understand the implications in regards to paticipating in wells.  I would choose to get a fantastic lease as you are in a great negotiating spot.
