Have you tried looking at the permit on sonris? It will usually list the surface section and the section with the horizontal if it is different than the wellbore.

Not sure if I am posing the question correctly. I am trying to ascertain if there are adjacent properties with perforations in my section for which I should be paid royalties

Scott,
Crunchy is right... If you think there is a well in an adjacent section that is drilling under your land, look it up on sonris. At the very top, it will tell you where the surface location is -- that's the location of the hole. Go down a bit, and under "Details," the very first entry, at the bottom, will tell you where the Planned Bottom Hole Location (PBHL) is. It might say something like "250' FSL and 1120' FEL of Sec 22." This means 250 feet from the south line and 1120 feet from the East line of Sec 22.

If you cannot figure it out, please post your section, township, and range, and I'll try to help.

Scott, if I recall correctly you are in Section 26. If that is correct, then you would be royalties on the DPJ 26 #H1 Well (Ser #239668) but not the DPJ 35 #H1 Well (Ser #239711). Even though the latter well has a surface location in Section 26, the horizontal lateral is perforated and producing from Section 35.
