HC is used as part of a well name to indicate a Cross Unit Lateral well.  HC literally stands for "Horizontal Cross".  With operators wishing to drill laterals longer than can be accommodated in the standard one section unit, the state regulators have approved drilling Cross Unit Lateral wells that may encompass all or portions of two or more units.

Thank you for all your responses. I have a better grasp of the situation from the various information that was provided. Chesapeake did finally return my call. The caller seemed a bit defensive  but did inform me I would be compensated retroactive to the well's beginning production. We will see if that rings true.

Well those of us who are unfortunate enough to be leased to Chesapeake when they only have an operating interest in a unit are surely paying dearly for CHK's underpayments. CHK has taken over $2000 royalty from me this year with two four year negative "adjustments."  The first negative adjustment was not supported by the operator of the unit, QEP, and I have yet to receive an explanation for the second four year adjustment.  Chesapeake is nothing more than a bunch of cheap crooks.
