Will the amount of wells on a production unit increase your royalties

Need to know if you are paid royalties from each producing well that your property is located within that particular 640 acre unit.

yes, if your entire section is included in the unit.
In a word - yes!
So if your lease is for 25% royalties,and they put 8 wells in your section,do you draw 25% off of each well?
not each well but your share in each well
WORST CASE:
the wells only produce 1mcf per day, but they will have 8 wells per unit.....

1 acre

8 mcf per day
$8[well-head]
25% Royalty
about........................... $9,000 per yr.
remember....this is WORST CASE:
if you would like to play around with different figures.
just plug the numbers in the Royalty Calculator:

Thanks RAY-Cd3
the "play" calls for 80-acre spacing;

8 wells X 80 acres ..........640 acre unit.
are all production units 640 acres/
No. as I said in another reply, there is an application to convert the area around my land to 320 acre units. The royalties will be divided by 320 instead of 640. (So I like it)
Let me rephrase from earlier ? if this is worst case...how realistic is it to have 8 wells per unit (640 acres)...
Very realistice...eventually. But remember, if you own 64 acres in a 640 acre unit, you only own 10%. So you will get your royalty rate (say 25%) on your portion of the gas (10%). So if the wells each produce 1 mcf at $8/mcf that is that is $64 per day but you only own 10% of that so you get your 25% of $6.40 per day, less severance taxes and any other deductions for treating/transportation as per your lease terms.
