APD Protests

We have leased mineral rights in Richland County, Montana, 26N 56E sections 6&7 with Osage/Heritage. Phoenix now wants to drill on that same location. We would appreciate any clarification as to how that would affect our lease and what we can expect to happen. We also have rights for 26N 55E section 12 that is not leased, but Phoenix has requested a permit to drill. Does anyone have a lease in that section? Any insight into what is going on in these areas would be greatly appreciated!
