A Cross Unit Later well (designated as HC) has a horizontal lateral in more than one section/unit.  Could be 2, could be 3.  The production is allocated to mineral owners in each unit by the percentage of the perforated lateral lying in each section.  Once the well is completed the operator files an "as drilled" plat and a form stating the percentage of well production that is attributable to each unit.  Sonris Lite will list the wells by their surface location section.  Here are the HC wells with surface locations in Section 24.  The first two have the perforated portion of their laterals in sections 13 & 12 as indicated by the well names.  The last well has the perforated portion of the lateral in sections 13 & 24.  It helps to have a township grid to see how sections are oriented one to the other.  In this case 24 is immediately south of 13 and 13 is immediately south of 12.
