50 50 Order Is Cause of Suit
In Austin Judge Harris Gardner heard Humble Oil Co claim that Rule 15 in Hawkins oil field, Wood County, diverts 4 400 barrels daily and may total 19 000 000 to 20 000 000 barrels over the field life. Humble seeks to enjoin the Railroad Commission from maintaining the present production split which favors acreage over well ability. Interveners say the hearing delay to Aug 23 is reasonable and that current orders, based on prior agreement, need engineering data for final ruling. Humble holds 76 percent of field acreage and reserves.
