2 wells in a 4-owner gas pool

Previous - Slide 19 - Next

We go back to the point, still in our first example,  where Ms. Southwest has drilled well #1 and well #2.

Ms. Southwest won in Court.

What can the other mineral owners do?

In our first example well #2 was a good well that is producing lots and lots of gas.  The other mineral owners decide to drill wells to try to drain out the gas from under their land before well #2 does.  These wells drilled by the neighbors are called “offset” wells.
