Anyone know how WV law reads with respect to NPRI owners being pooling?  I understand if the well is drilled on the NPRI owners property, the law is sort of clear but what happens when the well is not on the NPRI owners property?

All of the information I have found relates to Texas which seems to indicate "in Texas a mineral owner cannot bind an NPRI owner to a pooling agreement" (ref: http://goddardlawwv.com/wv-oil-gas-law/ and http://www.jstevenstewart.com/uploads/1/2/3/0/12303218/the_duties_o...)  And horizontal drilling across an NPRI owners tract seems to further complicate it.  Any insight into WV's NPRI owners rights?
