WHAT DOES IT MEAN?
30 parcels of land make up the majority of land
mass in the map example. That’s up to just 30
landowners who consent to drilling.
But, as a result of compulsory pooling, 113 plots
of land would be subjected to drilling… whether
those landowners sign a lease or not.
Even with a 90% threshold of
consent, more than half of
landowners face losing their
property rights against their will.
