George,

Two miles away is too far to be included in a production unit associated with the Galli site. You would have to be within one mile, & your property would need to be either northwest or southeast of the well pad. Those are the directions these wells are drilled from the pad. 

I doubt Shell will be drilling other wells anytime soon in your immediate vicinity. They seem to drill wells from one pad, then move to another area in the county. Their well pads are widely spaced out over the area they hold leases in Butler County. I think they call it their method of exploration to gage the potential for the whole area.

Shell is very methodical with the way they develop their leased areas. Its difficult to be patient, but we have no choice. Hopefully your time will come in the next couple of years, good luck to you. It could be worse, you could be unleased like me!
