Time limit on permits?

Once a company gets permitted to drill a well on your section, are they required to actually drill, and if so, is there a time restraint on how soon they need to get started?

The permit is good for 90 days. It can be renewed once for another 90 days. This is 180 days or 6 months. If nothing happens at the end of 180 days, the permit expires and the company has to file for a new permit.

A permit to drill deeper than 10,001 feet is $1,264. The costs of a survey plat, hearing, etc.,are in addition to this. The fees vary by depth of the well.

Tuscaloosa Trend Sits On Top Of Poorest Neighbourhood For Decades - Yet No Royalties Ever Paid To The Community -- Why??

In researching the decades-old Tuscaloosa Trend and the immense wealth it has generated for many, I find it deeply troubling that this resource-rich formation runs directly beneath one of the poorest communities in North Baton Rouge—near Southern University, Louisiana—yet neither the university ( that I am aware of)  nor local residents appear to have received any compensation for the minerals extracted from their land.

This area has suffered immense environmental degradation…
