Cole, that is a question without an answer at this time.  Although we have seen applications and permits for a handful of horizontal laterals that follow the line between two sections/units, we have not seen a completion report.  The most logical assumption is that such a lateral with have 50% allocated to each unit.  Considering the significant lag in completion reports being enter on SONRIS, this is a question that may not be answered until next year.  When the first such wells are reported complete, we will reveal and discuss how this is handled.

See Section 7 in the Field Order.  The "as drilled" survey may be a sticking point as horizontal lateral are never perfectly straight.

This area has suffered immense environmental degradation…
