This rule amendment specifies the manner in which an owner must consent to the drilling and operation of a well and agree to bear that owner's proportionate share of the costs of the drilling, testing, completion and equipping of that well, as well as the timeframe within which such consent must be given. Specifying these details in rule is contemplated by the recently amended Subsections 40-6-2(4) and 40-6-2(11). Under the submitted rule amendment, consent must be given in writing within thirty days of written notice being received. As noted above, the language proposed in this filing is intended to govern only for a few months during the pendency of the Board's ongoing proceedings concerning a final amendment to this same rule. The final amendment will be made in late 2017.
