    This is my concern: I leased this from GHK in 2009, it was "not forced pooled"

    by leased by the acres at a price GHK and I agreed.

    Until someone with more knowledge than I can answer you more thoroughly, it seems that the notice you received does not change anything other than the official designation of operator. I copied and pasted the following paragraph from page two of your notice, adding only quotation marks, underling and bold.
    _____________________
    "4. RELIEF SOUGHT
    An order amending Pooling Order No. 561838 which pooled oil and gas
    interests in the Tonkawa common source of supply for the 320-acre drilling and spacing
    unit consisting of the E12 of Section 30, Township 17 North, Range 25 West, Roger Mills
    County, Oklahoma, so as to delete The GHK Company, LLC as unit operator and to
    designate Apache Corporation as the operator for all wells drilled, or to be drilled, under
    the terms of such Order. Except as amended hereunder the order is to remain in full effect
    as to all common sources of supply originally described in that order."
    ______________________

    A call tomorrow to the Corporation Commission Consumer Services Division at 405-521-2331 or 1-800-522-8154 might be helpful.

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks for the prompt reply, I did not understand what the POOLING meant

    sinced we leased and were not pooled.

    and also, why they offered ways for us to get in touch with

    the court

    do you know?

    I don't know, but it likely fulfills a legal or regulatory requirement to notify. Would you check to see if your name is on Exhibit "A" of this document  http://imaging.occeweb.com/AP/CaseFiles/OCC3865226.PDF ? I will be interested to know if it is.

    This is a notice of operator change and all known owners receive the same notice.
