You need to determine exactly what gross and net acres you own which is usually done by tracing the deed records from sovereignty forward. It is the way to see both gross acres and net acres within each tract. This information is needed to verify your well DOI. You also need to review the leases to see what acreage is under lease, whether producing or not, and when the leases may expire in part or in whole. If you leased Section 3 when it is already HBP under the old lease, then that landman was not as careful In his title search as the current landman.
