TOLERANCE ACRES (UNIT-TOL)<br />
-------------------------<br />
THIS DATA ITEM CONCERNS THE ACREAGE IN A LEASE THAT REMAINS AFTER<br />
A WELL HAS BEEN DRILLED AND COMPLETED ON EACH PRORATION UNIT<br />
(THE ACREAGE ASSIGNED TO EACH WELL) IN A FIELD. SOMETIMES THE<br />
ACREAGE IN A LEASE CANNOT BE DIVIDED EXACTLY BY THE AMOUNT<br />
SPECIFIED AS THE STANDARD UNIT. THE OPERATOR WILL THEN REQUEST<br />
THAT THE EXCESS ACREAGE BE ALLOCATED TO THE LAST WELL DRILLED<br />
OR DIVIDED AMONG THE OTHER WELLS IN THE LEASE. THIS DATA ITEM<br />
CONTAINS THE AMOUNT OF TOLERANCE ACRES THAT THE FIELD RULES FOR<br />
THE FIELD ALLOW EACH WELL.<br />
----------------------<br />
ALLOCATION (ALLOCTION)<br />
----------------------<br />
THIS DATA ITEM INDICATES THE ALLOCATION FORMULA FOR PRORATED<br />
FIELDS. THE ALLOCATION FORMULA REPRESENTS A METHOD OF ASSIGNING<br />
ALLOWABLES TO FIELDS. THE INTENT BEHIND ASSIGNING ALLOWABLES IS<br />
TO PREVENT THE WASTE OF PETROLEUM RESOURCES AND TO PROTECT THE<br />
RIGHTS OF ALL OPERATORS IN THE FIELD (I.E., EACH OPERATOR IS<br />
ENTITLED TO A FAIR SHARE OF THE PETROLEUM). AN ALLOWABLE DEFINES<br />
THE AMOUNT A FIELD IS AUTHORIZED TO PRODUCE; IT IS GENERALLY<br />
ASSIGNED ON A MONTHLY BASIS.<br />
THERE ARE VARIOUS FACTORS USED IN THE ALLOCATION FORMULA TO<br />
DETERMINE THE ALLOWABLE FOR A FIELD. THE ALLOWABLE PERCENT<br />
FACTOR IS THE WEIGHT (PERCENTAGE) GIVEN TO A FACTOR IN THE<br />
ALLOCATION FORMULA. SEE APPENDIX B FOR ALLOCATION FACTOR CODES.<br />
SPACE FOR A THREE-PART FORMULA IS PROVIDED. THE FIRST THREE<br />
BYTES REPRESENT THE PERCENTAGE. THE LAST TWO GIVE THE CODE<br />
REPRESENTING THE ALLOCATION FACTOR. IF THE ALLOCATION FORMULA<br />
HAS ONE PART, THE LAST TWO PARTS WILL BE ZEROS. IF THE FORMULA<br />
HAS TWO PARTS, THE LAST PART WILL BE ZEROS.<br />

CASING (CASING)<br />
---------------<br />
THIS DATA ITEM CONTAINS FREE-FORM REMARKS. THEY INDICATE THE<br />
CASING REQUIREMENTS FOR A FIELD SET BY FIELD RULES OR THE TEXAS<br />
DEPARTMENT OF WATER RESOURCES TO ENFORCE THE PROTECTION OF FRESH<br />
WATER SANDS AND AVOID POLLUTION FROM PRODUCTION.<br />
----------------------<br />
DIAGONAL TYPE (DIAG-X)<br />
----------------------<br />
THIS DATA ITEM WILL CONTAIN AN "X" IF THE INFORMATION GIVEN IN<br />
"DIAG-INFO" IS FREE-FORM COMMENTS CONCERNING THE DIAGONAL. IT<br />
WILL BE BLANK IF "DIAG-INFO" CONTAINS THE FOOTAGE AMOUNT OF THE<br />
DIAGONAL.<br />
