Syllabus

horizontal well traversing beneath surface plainly qualifies as a well drilled on the property for purposes of deed reserving royalty interest in oil and gas production; landowner's pooling and unitization agreement does not exclude royalty interest from lease royalties but instead agreed a well on any unitized land will have the same effect as if located on the land subject to the lease; thus, even the fourth well, which did not traverse beneath the premises at issue, qualified as a well drilled on the premises to which the royalty interest in oil and gas produced applies.
