Texas and OK laws will be different, in part due to OK forced pooling. You need to review the lease and the unit(s) that it is pooled into. Find all the DPU which should have acreage plats and reference depths. Have all of those units ceased producing? Are you receiving any royalties? Does the lease have any provisions about partial termination or can any one well hold all the acreage, despite being part of only one of several units and where some units are no longer producing. Have an oil and gas attorney review the lease, the units and unit production. You may be able to file affidavit of expiration on all or part of acreage. This is not do-it-yourself as you need to be careful about the language.
