Still Curious

I am wondering what happens when the verticle part of the well is on lease and the horizontal part isn't. An Example is the Cartwright well. Verticle is on N. Davis A-147 and the end of the horizontal is not in that survey and of lease. So the O&G guys (SM Energy) run to the people at the end of the horizontal part with lease in hand? saying something like: Please Hurry Hurry sign the form!

The operator will have the entire length of any lateral under lease prior to drilling or even permitting the well. All the leases that the lateral cuts across / intersects will be pooled into whatever drilling and production unit is set up.
