a Division order to me always meant the pipeline had been connected and they were producing. Your land man or Chesapeake should be able to furnish a map for you showing where your royalties are. When we asked for a map, we were sent one,either by snail mail or email.

There is a well, completed early last year, and it looks like the unit boundaries include parts of both A-547 and A-77.  The well is API #419-31618, KC Gas Unit #1H and I'm attaching the unit plat.  It may not be up to date with the Unit Designation on file in the county records.

Thank you for your help.... can you explain to me what the PBHL, PSHL and the PUPP mean on the unit plat?   And is this well drilled on the John Bryant survey with a pipeline going through the J Palmer survey or is it vice versa?  IF we are shown to have mineral rights in J Palmer, does that mean the rights were leased out to get the well drilled???  If so, I have a family member who needs to explain some things!   I did try to access the railroad commission for wells but forgot about the sunday maintenance.  I will look again this week.

That is a well plat the company filed with RRC.  PBHL is proposed bottom hole location, PSHL is proposed surface hole location, PUPP is Chesapeake's version of penetration point where the borehole enters the target formation. 

I would try to find someone at Chesapeake to talk to about that Division Order.  There should be a contact # on it somewhere.  If that doesn't work there is a young lady (Katie McCullin) on this site who works for Chesapeake and she can put you in contact with someone.  You can "friend" her and send a private e-mail with your questions.

Thank you again for the information.  I have contacted the person on the division order but she seems confused too so I will email specifics to her to try and get more from her.  If that doesn't get me anywhere I will try the young lady that works for Chesapeake.  IF a well is drilled in a survey close to where our other survey is that was leased out, would our minerals rights have been included in the production if what I am seeing on the plat contains that survey???  We were not told any information with that lease that a well was being drilled nearby.  I hope I am not confusing on that question but we are still trying to figure out our interest in this well.

Just being in a survey (of which only part may be included in a unit with a well) will not put all of the owners in that survey "in the money" from production.  Your specific tract has to be at least partially included within the "pooled" unit boundaries and you would only realize royalties on the portion found within the unit if the entire tract is not included.

thanks to everyone who helped me with information on this order... I have made all my connections with the companies and nearly have everything resolved.
