You need to give the location as rules vary by state. If the well precedes the building, then that may be important.

Yes’m it may well be a problem. It’s Oklahoma.
You many need to review the statutes, but I seem to remember that leases to drill have to be 200’ away from a previous home building (and maybe a barn). If the well is already 600’ from a proposed new home, then you need to check the new building codes. Sounds like it is on someone else’s property. Check with your builder.
Other states have much larger setbacks.

Yes ma’am. I’ve been letting it slide and now I’ve already cleared the area and built road to house pad. I sent a message to lease operator asking them to verify setback. I was here before well was. Seems like it’s 200 from well head to my property line. Then 50 ft from property line to west side of house pad so 250 ft from wellhead Construction foreman was on site today and they want to start Monday. I’m going to let them start anyway.
