Article 2.1 - Well Spacing Patterns-New Pools
Section 1721.8 - Pooling

A well-spacing plan adopted by the Supervisor shall require that all or certain parcels of land be included in a voluntary or mandatory pooling agreement if necessary to protect correlative rights. The Supervisor may provide, in any order adopting a well-spacing plan, for a period not to exceed 60 days from the date of the order during which the affected parties shall be allowed to attempt to pool voluntarily their respective interests. Such period may be extended at the Supervisor's discretion upon the written request of the affected parties. Any well-spacing order providing a period for an attempt at voluntary pooling is not a final order of the Supervisor until either voluntary pooling has been accomplished and the Supervisor notified of it or the Supervisor has ordered mandatory pooling upon the failure of the affected parties to reach a pooling agreement voluntarily.
