If a well has been drilled in the woodford zone. And the oil company came back to drill in the Mississippi and or Springer. Does you depth clause kick in to affect? It wood be in grandy county Oklahoma.
No, unless your depth clause is zone specific. 99.99% of depth clauses release all zones below a certain depth after the primary term as in 100’ below the deepest depth drilled. In your case the Woodford is the deepest of the 3 zones so only those below the Woodford are released. Your lease will stay good from surface to 100’ below the deepest depth drilled or similar language.
