Wealthy people tend to own large tracts of land.
While this is true, i doubt they all own large tracts that just so happen to be in the best areas to drill. What makes the 600 a half mile away more attractive than my 300. Or Max Lawson's (county supervisor) 500 acres more attractive than the other 500 acres.
Maybe the better question is, how do these companies decide where to drill. Im sure they look at data from the geologist that tells them the best spots.

Who owns the land has absolutely nothing to do with where they decide to drill. Those decisions are made after very detailed analysis of the seismic data, surface access, mineral rights, existing infrastructure, existing contracts, etc, etc.
Because one location is sutiable for drilling does not mean the place next to it is. There is very little drilling going on in a very large area. The chance they will drill on your property is remote.
