When gas and oil companies have say 3/4 of leased property and they need 640 to form unit, before drilling what will actually happen to the rest not leased?

Thank you, Florida Ginnie

would tou please elaborate on what you mean by ". . . these new duel horizontals (or triples) . . . ".
I retained 50% of the minerials on 68 acres that I sold 3 years ago. If I am force pooled, would my revenue share from each well be 68/640 minus....etc. cost, even though I do not own any surface acreage? Also, is there any general rule of thumb on the percentage of a 640 acre track they require to be leased before they decide to drill or go somewhere else?
Since you only retained 50% of the minerals, you would get 50% of 68/640... or 5.3125%
You may want to consider leaseing in the hopes of getting a well to interupt prescription. You have seven years left and counting down.
I read an article stating that the HS wells are producing at a rate that they are paying themselves off in a few months & several times over.
Baron and Jim,
Yes, I do hope to interupt prescription, and I signed a lease but the company I signed with has not paid me any bonus money. The surface owner has received his bonus money (he has a different company than I have) so, prescription interuption may not be improved if I do go and try to get a good lease with someone else at this point. Instead, if I would receive a higher return (payout) by being "forced pooled" then that may be the way to go......you thoughts would be most appreciated.
Just because they have not paid you may not mean that the lease you signed is not binding.
