Bryson, Charles, Cliff and Linda:
Very good discussion. Since the beginning of this discussion, I have learned that EOG, the Lessee, had received a horizontal well drilling permit from the TRC on 12/10/11 on an individual’s land in my Survey, M. I. Leal. The drill site is about 2 miles from my property. According to a neighbor, a rig has been on that site and is, reportedly, in the process of being moved out. It appears that there have been quite a number of drilling permits granted during December in the area and several are within 2 miles of my land. My question is: if my land is part of the pooling of land affected by drilling am I to receive some kind of notice either in advance or after the fact? There are some repairs I would like to make on my land such as a new fence and now I am not so certain if those funds will be coming from the next 3 years lease renewal or out of my own pocket if drilling begins prior to 6/11/12.
