Kan. Admin. Regs. § 82-3-110 - Penalties for violations of well spacing, basic proration orders
(a) Any well
drilled or being drilled in violation of an order or rule of the commission in
effect at the time drilling commences shall be considered to be an unlawful
location. Such a well shall be presumed to be in violation of correlative
rights and to constitute waste. A show cause order to determine whether the
drilling of the well was necessary to protect correlative rights or prevent
waste may be issued by the commission, either upon receipt of a complaint or on
the commission's own motion. A hearing shall be held after notice to all
interested parties.
(b) If the
commission determines that good cause has not been shown or that an exception
should be denied, an order may be issued by the commission requiring the well
to be permanently capped or plugged and abandoned in accordance with the rules
of the commission, or production at a reduced rate may be permitted by the
commission to ensure protection of correlative rights and the prevention of
waste.
