Do you have to own all the land above the horizontal bend to extract oil/gas from it?

Basically, yes. The lease on my property includes any drilling/extraction that occurs under my property regardless of whether an actual well is placed on my property.

Your post in not correct/ It is possible to own the mineral rights under a piece of property without owning the surface rights. Mineral rights and surface rights are two separate items.

Each horizonal seam of coal can be owned separately. Makes things a bit confusing frfom time to time.
