We have a lease expiring in September and are contemplating leasing again versus forced pooling. Any advise for Section 20-15N-20W?
If you can afford to get a good oil and gas attorney who can get you an airtight lease with the protections clauses you need and a high royalty, then that is great. If you cannot afford an attorney, then force pooling has its own advantages. Many of us would pick the highest royalty.
That being said, your well has already been drilled and your lease has moved into the secondary term where it will remain until the end of production. New lease or pool is a mute point now.
Mewbourne drilled the Cow Hills 20/29 1H in 2026. It was completed Dec 16, 2025. You should be getting a division order any day. If you do not have one by June, contact Mewbourne as the well is in production.
