The Hatfields and the McCoys own two adjacent tracts of land. Each tract has a Allocated surface
Question:
The Hatfields and the McCoys own two adjacent tracts of land. Each tract has a Allocated surface area of 4,000 acres. During a recent shoot-out, crude oil came bubbling to the
(L.0.1) surface where a bullet had entered the ground. A petroleum geologist determined that there was an underground rock formation that contained a substantial amount of oil and extended under both tracts of land. The formation was estimated at 800,000 acre feet of volume, of which 200,000 acre feet was under the McCoy's tract of land.
