unit Well

 I need a working definition of a "Unit Well".  Received a letter from Fite indicating that I have no interest in a well because it is a "unit/well".  My property is located about 400 feet from the well.  I cannot believe that I'm not getting any royalty.

A surveyor registered with the  State of Louisiana drew up the map for Fite.  Can this be trusted?

What is the field name and the unit name?  I'll post a plat of the unit.  Any well drilled to the formation covered by the unit and within the boundary of the unit as approved by the state is a unit well.  In practice the first well drilled to a unitized formation is the unit well and any additional wells are termed alternate unit wells.  Both the unit well and any alternate unit wells pay royalty to all the leased interests within the unit boundary irregardless of the surface location of the well(s) within the unit.
