Surface Estate: Pooling; Non-Drillsite Tract

摘要

Since 1987, Key Operating & Equipment, Inc. ("Key") had operated an existing well—the Richardson No. 1 Well—on the Richardson Tract ("Richardson Tracf). In 1994, Key acquired mineral leases on the 191-acre Curbo/Rosenbaum Tract ("Curbo Tract") and reworked the Rosenbaum No. 2 well, which was located on that property. Also in 1994, "Key built a road... to access both the Richardson No. 1 and the Rosenbaum No. 2." Apparently, trucks turned off the public road and crossed the Curbo Tract to get to the Richardson Tract Six years later, the Rosenbaum No. 2 well stopped producing and Key's lease on the Curbo Tract expired.
