If someone dug additional wells on a given property in Louisiana, how long do they have to test the wells? Once the test is done and proves successful, how long do they have to send a division order to the landowner? Thanks.

Generally, Division orders are sent about five months after first sales, but that can vary. If the decimal amount is the same as the first well, then sometimes, they do not send one and just start paying. Check the Louisiana oil and gas commission statutes for the exact timing.
