(a)In determining the daily allowable production for each gas well in a prorated reservoir, the commission shall take into account:

(1)the size of the tract segregated with respect to the surface position and common ownership on which the gas well or wells are located;

(2)the relation between the daily producing capacity of each gas well and the aggregate daily capacity of all gas wells producing the same kind of gas in the same common reservoir or zone; and

(3)other factors that are pertinent.

(b)In determining the daily allowable production for each gas well, the commission shall not take into account the size of the tract on which any gas well or wells are located in excess of the efficient drainage area of the well or wells. The drain

(c) In ascertaining the drainage area of a well, the commission shall take into account such factors as are reflected in the productive capacity of a gas well, including formation pressure, the permeability and porosity of the producing formation, and the well bore's structural position, together with all other factors taken into account by a reasonably prudent operator in determining the drainage area for a gas well.
