The exact thing happened to us. If the companies can make a few acreage off of each lease, they are really far ahead. I blame myself for not talking to a lawyer and we leased five years ago.

I guess one question is if 12 acres not accounted for in the production area how and to who is this money paid? is that production area only 628 acres instead of 640?
