lateral spacing is generally parallel 1000 feet apart, sometines up to 1500 feet.  Most horizontalls will travel about 2400 to a mile in length.  They tend to run in a SSE and or NNW direction.  The royalty zone is more like a long rectangle as opposed to a radius like seen in vertical drilling.

I meant I am a little SW of drill pad...so how far from the outside horizontals is considered in the production unit? Do they branch off moreblike a fork or more like a triangular direction? dovyou know where they put the pipeline?

should be like a fork.  As for the pipeline, not sure.  Looks like you'll sit near the edge.  My understanding is the royalty zone will be 1000 feet from the laterals.  When I said NNW and SSE it is usually by 10 degrees off due North and South.  Good luck!  I hope all your acreage makes it in.  Do you know how many laterals the well pad will include?

I was told by a geologist at the ODNR that they are putting in 6 per well in. Columbiana county. Thanks

looks like it will be close .  the gas collection zone should be about 4000 feet wide, and then however long the laterals are

Thanks for your insight!
