You are right, Jim, as far as I can see... I'm not concerned about 'skullduggery' as durtyernie called it, I just want to understand it sometime before a year 'after' it happens. Royalty Formulas stay the same and apply to whatever your terms in the lease are, the size of the approved Drilling Unit, and your net acreage within that unit. Companies arenot going to invest in drilling increased density wells on sheer luck factors. there has to be some sort of criterion being applied that makes one area better than another to risk their investment in increased densities. I would think there might also be some sort of factor to consider regarding whether or not well productions on either side of the in-fills are affected adversely as well. Again, it may be some time before the trend hits the ND side of the fence, but, it doesn't hurt to actually understand what is driving it, and the broader implications that they bring. Densities such as these could mean faster pipeline installations because they become economical, etc. Are you new to the board, Jim? Welcome, glad you are joining us! Rufus
