This family has some acreage in Section 35, T9N, R14W....we are currently leased to EOG, which has a unit in W 1/2 of Section 35, the East 1/2 of Section 35 is unitized by Chesapeake, both have a producing well, 240817 EOG in Section 35, 243210 Chesapeake in Section 36, our land is in the East 1/2 of Section 35, which well would we be looking to draw royalties if any....my main question is since EOG holds the lease on our acreage, would they draw the royalties from Chesapeake....????? 

 

According to my calculations, the EOG well is only 58 feet or so from unit line of their unit...

or the Chesapeake unit...?

You are in the Chesapeake HA RA SU81 Unit which includes all of Section 36 and the east 1/2 of Section 35.  Therefore your well is 243210.  The unit and well to your west is Eagle Oil, not EOG.  See the link to the unit order below.

thanks for your reply....I read a lot of what yu have to say on here...many thanks for your knowledge...EOG ( I was referring to eagle oil and gas... but understand that abbreviations sometimes mean other companies...sorry....

Ricky, shown below are the two wells.  I believe the one in the west half of Section 35 is operated by Eagle rather than EOG.

 

Your acreage in the east half of Section 35 would be in the unit operated by Chesapeake.  EOG is responsible for paying you royalties but may have an arrangement for Chesapeake to pay you on EOG's behalf.

 

The Eagle well must have perforations at least 330 ft from your unit boundary. 

 

Wells

Chesapeake, Evans 36 #H1 Well, Serial #243210, S36(35/36)-T9N-R14W, Sabine Parish, 12798 Mcfd, 22/64" Choke, 6895 psi Flowing Pressure

Eagle, Cassel 35 #H1 Well, Serial #240817, S35(33/34/35)-T9N-R14W, Sabine Parish, 10891 Mcfd, 13/64" Choke, 8300 psi Flowing Pressure

 

Units

S33/34/35-T9N-R14W, HA RA SUM Unit, Eagle, Converse Field, Sabine Parish
S35/36-T9N-R14W, HA RA SU81 Unit, Chesapeake, Converse Field, Sabine Parish

many thanks for your reply....Well #240817...I have examined the sonris details and to my understanding the first performation is within 100 feet or less of unit boundary, this is assuming that the section is 5280 feet and each forty is 1320 feet... the top hole is 2582 ' from the west line which leaves in my estimation 58 feet from the unit boundary (east side) of the w 1/2 of section 35....then the bottomhole is 2335 ' from the west line of section 35 which leaves 305 ' from the unit boundary of section 35(east side) which neither of these meet the specifications of 330 feet from the unit boundary...first perforation is 11893 feet which is gonna be not much over the initial 58 feet on the front of the lateral...which says to me

they are pulling out of the chesapeake unit....therefore from under our acreage...any takers on this theory????
