OAR 632-010-0163: Limitation of Production

In the absence of unitization, whenever the board, after notice and hearing, finds that waste as defined in ORS 520.005 is occurring or is imminent in any oil or gas field or pool, and that the production of oil or gas from such field or pool should be limited to prevent waste, then the board must issue an order limiting production from the field or pool and specify rules for the allocation or distribution of allowable production as provided for in ORS 520.005(11) and 520.015.
