Hi,Just wandering if you guys have look in west virginia,harrison county mainly.I have lease with antero.These well legs down here average 9000-12000 feet.Looking in the court house the declaration of pool puts these legs(unit) at 280-300+acres a piece.Just curious how he pools,my lease says 640,but some these well pads down here have some 13 well legs.Does he pool individual legs or a couple together.I do see some have same names but differnt last#'s like 1h and 2h,just curious if he puts them together.Acres add up fast with these legs.Would appreciate if anybody has the answer.Thanks

Hi,

IH is one well leg, 2h is a separate drilled well. Up here, odd numbers means one direction while even numbers mean a different horizontal drilled direction. Each driller can decide how they number or letter a well so it might mean something different down there with your driller. If you look into a drillers wells, you will see a pattern pretty quickly.
Since your lease states you can only be in a max 640, from the numbers you stated you could only be apart of a unit that had no more then 2 wells or split between two wells (if they are pooling each well as its full unit) not exceeding a total of 640 mineral acres. You would not get anything from the other legs. This is a pad I wouldn't mind having my lease say 1280 acre unit allowed. Wow 13 wells!
I wonder since they drilled so many on this pad, that they weren't worried about trying to hold a lot of minerals with one well, so they just declared pooled units for each leg as they went along.
