A "newbie" question.
Let's say a horiztonal well is drilled between two sections in a
township - north to south starting in section 14 and ending in section
23 for example. The well is drilled and the pumps and tanks are
located in section 14 on land where I DO NOT own mineral rights, but
the drilling goes horiztontally under land in sections 14 and 23 where
I DO have mineral rights. Specifically I have mineral rights in 1/4th
of section 14 and 1/4th of section 22. That gives me 320 arces of the
total 1280 acres in these sections. Do I have royalty rights to 1/4th
of what's pulled out of this well? Do sections 14 and 23 need to be
in a drilling "spacing unit" or part of a "pool"? It seems to me that
if they have drilled horizontally under the land that I have mineral
rights that I should have some share of the royalties regardless if
the well/pumps/tanks are physically located on the land where I have
mineral rights
