My understanding is that royalties are paid to mineral owners when a well drilled in their section begins to produce. Correct me if Im wrong.

Are there regulations in place as to how close a well can be drilled to the section boundary line to prevent siphoning of adjacent section? Is there technology and/or reporting laws to prevent drillers from kicking the horizontal travel across or near another section line?

Note that this says "property line or unit boundary. All units do not follow section lines. It is possible that a unit can include acreage from more than one section. In that case, they would be able to drill on the section line. however, they would still need to respect the property lines. The sections sometimes don't constitute the boundary.

This area has suffered immense environmental degradation…
