We have a small interest in Sec17-10N-9W, Caddo County. We received a notice that Thunderbird has petitioned the court to combine two 640 acre units to form one 1280 acre unit for the purpose of drilling a horizontal well.
It would seem that this would effectively cut returns in half if a well did go into production. But then, I am a totally a newbie!
What is the end result of this and does the court usually grant this kind of request?
