Statute 55-1307: Enlargement of area and creation of new units.
The unit area of a unit may be enlarged to include adjoining portions of
the same common source of supply, including the unit area of another unit,
and a new unit created for the unitized management, operation and further
development of such enlarged unit area, or the plan of unitization may be
otherwise amended, all in the same manner, upon the same conditions and
subject to the same limitations as herein provided with respect to the
creation of a unit in the first instance, except, that where an amendment
to a plan of unitization relates only to the rights and obligations as
between working interest owners, the requirement that the same be approved
by the owners of at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the production or
proceeds thereof that will be credited to interests which are free of
costs, such as royalties, overriding royalties and production payments of
the unit area shall have no application.
