How Long Till Division Order?

Chesapeake has been drillling a well on the land we are pooled with for 3 months now.  Arent we suppossed to get a division order by now? I jst read they have started to drill two more wells on that same site. The lease was originally with Fortuna who appears to have sold it to Andarko, who sold part of the lease to Cheseapke (doing the drilling), Matsui & Stat. I have called all 3 companies. All acknowledge they own a part of our lease and that drilling indeed has been going on for 3 months. None have come back with division orders. I was under the impression the law stated they had to start paying royalties within 3 months of removing gas from the site.  I noticed that they do not have to pay unless the landowners sign a Division Order. I also noticed that the companies delay giving the division orders so they can say they do not have copies signed by the lease owners, so they can delay payments.

What should we do.

Touché ron. The majority of my interests lie in the southern portion of the play near the action. The northern stuff my family is a part of has not lived up to the hype. The guernsey and souther Harrison wells were in certainly have though...
