A 920 acre unit is not a Mega unit, just look at some leases that provide for 1920 acre units.

I am referring to forced unit expansion by the Commissioner at the request of oil companies, not a lease signed and approved by the land owner ... forced unit expansion for everyone imposed by our Commissioner.

What is the conclusion then? I have not been following for very long, and maybe I'm not looking in the right place, but I don't see any information presented to justify this change. In fact, I've just spoken with several pet. engineers and geologists and they are telling me that Haynesville Shale is a tight formation, like Barnet, and that it has been determined that drilling units need to be much smaller than 640 acres to properly drain a unit. I can only assume, then, that these requests are political/economic in nature. Can you provide me with any geological/engineering data to support this?
