I was told that an Oil Company can come back and drill again in a different area

on a pooling lease (that is producing) that they already have - that would be nice - but has anyone heard of this happening?

So we have had 2 producing wells for about 1-1/2 years… Marathon could come and drill

again on that pad site and make it 3 or 4 total wells??

Thank you,

Meant to type pad site - not paid site.
