Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
If upon the filing of a
petition and after notice and hearing, the Division finds that:
1. The unitized management, operation and
further development of a pool or portion thereof is reasonably necessary in
order effectively to carry on pressure control, pressure-maintenance or
repressuring operations, cycling operations, waterflooding operations, or any
combination thereof, or any other form of joint effort calculated to
substantially increase the ultimate recovery of oil and gas from the pool;
2. One or more of the unitized methods of
operation as applied to the pool or portion thereof are feasible, will prevent
waste and will, with reasonable probability, result in the increased recovery
of substantially more oil and gas from the pool than would otherwise be
recovered;
3. The estimated additional cost, if any,
of conducting those operations will not exceed the value of the additional oil
and gas so recovered; and
4. The unitization and adoption of one or
more of the unitized methods of operation is for the common good and will
result in the general advantage of the owners of the oil and gas rights within
the pool or the portion thereof directly affected,
it shall
make a finding to that effect and make an order creating the unit and providing
for the unitization and unitized operation of the pool or portion thereof
described in the order, all upon such terms and conditions, as may be shown by
the evidence to be fair, reasonable, equitable, and which are necessary or
proper to protect, safeguard and adjust the respective rights and obligations
of the several persons affected, including royalty owner, owners of overriding
royalties, oil and gas payments, carried interests, mortgages, lien claimants
and others, as well as the lessees.
