btj, Opie #8 has not drilled yet. The unit is now HBP by the Opie #1, producing from the Martinsville (Travis Peak) so they are not under any pressure to drill an additional well in the unit. The permit is good for two years.

btj, are you sure your lease expired?  I mean, did you go to the courthouse and check Samson's Unit Designations to make sure you weren't included in a unit?  Or, did you ask Samson to file a release, since the term has expired?  If you will do that it will give notice in the clerk's office that you are not under lease now.

The easiest thing to do would be to contact Samson and ask them what the status is on your lease.  If they say it is expired, ask them to file a release.  But you may have to put that request in writing to get them to comply.  If they say you are drilled, ask them for the well name and API number and tell them you would like a copy of the unit designation listing your lease as part of the unit.  Then, if you are in a unit, you will receive a division order at some point.
