Development Unit or DSU |
Development Unit or drilling spacing unit is the geographical area in which an initial oil and/or gas well is drilled and produced from the geological formation listed in a spacing order. The spacing unit communitizes all interest owners for the purpose of sharing in production from oil and/or gas wells in the unit. A spacing order establishes the size of the unit; names the formations included in the unit; divides the ownership of the unit for the formations into the “royalty interest” and the “working interest;” Only one well can be drilled and completed in each common source of supply. Additional wells may be drilled in a Development Unit, but only after an Increased Density Order is issued by the Oklahoma Corporation Commission. |
Force Pooled |
The Oklahoma Corporation Commission is authorized to establish well spacing and drilling units covering any common source of supply of hydrocarbons, or any prospective common source of supply. Once the unit is established, the Commission can force pool the interests of all the owners who own interests in that unit and who have not voluntarily joined in the development of that unit. |
