I also would like to know the answer to this question, we are in a n. unit and there are five well permits for the pad, I would like to know how this is going to work out.  Do north and south share royalties on all the wells or split the wells.

as in our case it could be in 2 - a north and a south.  sometimes they split the pad into more than one unit due to leases they aquired from other companies. if they are going under you directly you can be in both --- part of your land in one and the remainder in the other one.

Despite the bad rap Cabot Oil gets in the news, they have been very forthcoming in their dealings with us and the other land owners.  They've had our water tested three times (on their dime) and have sent us the reports of the tests.  The landman came out to our property to inform us about the well behind us and even told us exactly where it was being placed.  He even answered some of our questions about the well a few miles away.  So far, all of our experiences have been good.

It is very possible, and quite common, that two units be declared from a single pad.  Clearly, you would expect multiple drilled or permitted wells on the pad for this split unit declaration to be made. It has been routinely implemented where leases limited units to 640 acres (or some other number) and splitting the unit kept the company in compliance with the lease terms.  Northerly horizontal bores often comprised one unit while southerly bores another.

Congratulations! A good question I will be looking forward to the answer you get here on it. Buy the way nice PR for the company to tell you and I hope they have been good to work with.
