Shared O&G Right Need Help

Our family owns 1/2 ownership of 80Acs of O&G rights. Other family has leased their 1/2, we have not. (no surface just rights)

Initially we were offered same lease terms as other family. We signed, then our lease was "voided" by gasco. Other family's lease approved. 6 mos. Later gasco came back to us with new offer that was much lower in bonus and % than original lease. Our family rejected it asking for same lease terms as other family.

No further response from gasco.

Question: Can gasco drill, pull gas from unit without lease on our 40acs?
