We are negotiating an amended lease with a new assignee that addresses **allocation wells**. Our current lease does not (although it does address pooling, and states that we are entitled to at least 51% royalty on any pooled unit, regardless of the amount of acreage).
They must drill at least one well every 180 days to hold 5,400 acres. I am willing to allow allocation wells to count in the continuous drilling program if they drill at least 5,000 ft lateral on our property. The operator countered with 3,000 ft, which I feel is inadequate because we could potentially be sharing royalty with 3 other royalty owners.
We are in Frio County, and most of our wells are in the Eagle Ford.
Does anyone have a good win-win for both royalty owner and operator?
Thanks, Paula Kothmann

I moved this over to Frio County for you so the folks there may be able to help.
