Everyone has questions when they start out! Keep asking.
Here is a document about pooling in OK. And a basic mineral owner’s guide for OK. Basically, every mineral acre has to be accounted for before the operator can drill. If not leased, then the remaining mineral acres go into the pooling process. Pooling has some advantages, so if I cannot get a good lease with the agent, I will gladly go to pooing and pick the highest royalty. Read these and then come back if you have more questions!
