Can anyone at least answer my biggest concern? Above all else is not having someone come in and change up my land to put in new drilling, etc. I’ve read that a new well can’t be drilled/placed within 1,000 feet of an existing or even a plugged/capped well, but I don’t know if that is always true, sometimes true, or true at all. I would prefer no new wells or anything gets done to the property (new access roads, clearing of trees, etc).
I know conventional wells are not as popular any more but does anyone know if there is any regulations to stop someone from drilling X amount of feet from another well, producing or not?
