A "NORMAL" @ LIMITED ALLOWABLE IS ASSIGNED TO A WELL IN A
PRORATED FIELD AFTER THE WELL HAS BEEN UNDERPRODUCED FOR TWO
CONSECUTIVE BALANCING PERIODS. FOR A PRORATED WELL, THE LIMITED
ALLOWABLE IS INITIALLY ASSIGNED BASED ON THE HIGHEST MONTH'S
PRODUCTION FOR THE PREVIOUS BALANCING PERIOD. SUPPLEMENTS WILL
BE ISSUED TO COVER OVERPRODUCTION UP TO THE AMOUNT THAT WOULD BE
ALLOCATED TO THE WELL UNDER THE ALLOCATION FORMULA FOR THE FIELD.
AN ALLOWABLE THAT IS LIMITED BECAUSE OF PAST PRODUCTION IS CALLED
AN @ ALLOWABLE, AND IS PRINTED WITH AN @ SYMBOL SUFFIXED TO THE
AMOUNT.
A SPECIAL @ LIMITED ALLOWABLE IS USUALLY ASSIGNED AS THE RESULT
OF A HEARING. THE ALLOWABLE IS ASSIGNED BASED ON THE WELL'S
PRODUCTION FIGURES. IT CAN BE ASSIGNED EITHER AS A MONTHLY OR
DAILY FIGURE. IT CAN BE BASED ON THE PRODUCTION FIGURE THREE
MONTHS PRIOR TO THE PRESENT MONTH (THE MOST CURRENT PRODUCTION
INFORMATION AVAILABLE SINCE PRODUCTION REPORTING LAGS TWO MONTHS
BEHIND ALLOWABLE ASSIGNMENT). OR IT CAN BE BASED ON THE HIGHEST
MONTH'S PRODUCTION OF THE MOST CURRENT 3-MONTH PERIOD OF
PRODUCTION INFORMATION AVAILABLE.
