Back in 2019 I purchased roughly 5 acres in Murray County. 4.5 acres in 36-1N-1E and .5 NMA in 31-1N-2E. In Section 36, I have S/2 SE/4 NE/4; NE/4 SE/4; E/2 NW/4 SE/4; and SW/4 NW/4 SE/4 of this 90 acres I have 4.5 NMA. In Section 31, I have S/2 NW/4 SW/4 Lot 3 being 39.93 acres which I have 0.5 NMA.
When I purchased this property I didn’t see any wells at the time but I liked the area. I paid to run title and have verified my ownership.
Last night, I got on Drilling Edge and discovered a well right there in the NE/4 of Section 36??? The Jake B1 a well operated by Bays Exploration? I really don’t see how I am not getting paid royalties for this well?? Can someone please check my figures? It looks to me like it’s right in that 90 Acres of Section 36 where I have 4.5 NMA??? I don’t know much about well spacing but it looks like it literally is sitting within that 90 acres???
I remember distinctly looking at Google Earth photos when I bought this parcel and never saw any wells? Now, there’s clearly a well pad and pumping unit there. However, the well data says the original completion date was 9/24/2009?? The satellite images I see on Drilling Edge show what appears to be a fairly new and large gravel pad?
Please help me confirm that well location on me. Also, how would I not have been notified or given a lease or division order? I’m also wondering if there was an old well there that was temporary abandoned and someone came in and worked it and started it back up?

The permit for Jake B 1-note that the well is a directional well starting fron the S2 of the NE corner and landing in the 80 spacing acres of the N2 NE4. I have marked your descriptions in the diagram (S/2 SE/4 NE/4; NE/4 SE/4; E/2 NW/4 SE/4; and SW/4 NW/4 SE/4). Your acreage is not included in the spacing of the well, so you do not receive royalties. You are looking at the correct pad. The well goes to the north.
