Forced Pooling Hearing Records 2026: 6 Source Controls

Forced pooling research is chronological by nature. A case may contain an application, notice, hearing action, and order, while the well or spacing-unit reference provides another identity layer. Keeping those events separate prevents a pending matter from being described as a final disposition.

Forced Pooling Hearing Records 2026: Measured findings from the cited authority

Oklahoma’s forced-pooling rules require the order to designate at least one operator for the drilling-and-spacing unit, and the OCC’s public process guidance says a pooling order commonly limits the time to drill to six months unless good cause supports more time. The notice process requires certified-mail notice at least 15 days before the hearing for a change under the cited rule. Sources: OCC pooling guidance and OCC Chapter 5 rules. For land work, those 6-month and 15-day controls are measurable docket fields, not a substitute for the final order.

Fields worth preserving

The following fields keep the Forced Pooling Hearing Records 2026: 6 Source Controls question narrow enough to audit without hiding the original publisher’s terminology.

Reading the evidence

Data sources and methodology

Search the commission case by number, open the docket material, and record each event on its own line. Match the order to the legal location and unit description, then flag any difference in operator spelling, parcel reference, or proceeding status for review. Forced Pooling Hearing Records 2026: 6 Source Controls uses a separate evidence boundary.

Do not replace a missing observation with a guessed value in Forced Pooling Hearing Records 2026: 6 Source Controls. For oklahoma-forced-pooling-orders-2026, retain the publisher label, identifier, date, and unit beside every normalized value. For oklahoma-forced-pooling-orders-2026, conflicting observations remain side by side with their definitions and dates.

Topic-specific interpretation notes

Case number deserves its own review note in Forced Pooling Hearing Records 2026: 6 Source Controls: retain commission proceeding reference, state why the field matters, and identify the condition that would make the observation unreliable.

Applicant deserves its own review note in Forced Pooling Hearing Records 2026: 6 Source Controls: retain party name as filed, state why the field matters, and identify the condition that would make the observation unreliable.

Legal location deserves its own review note in Forced Pooling Hearing Records 2026: 6 Source Controls: retain section, township, range, or lot, state why the field matters, and identify the condition that would make the observation unreliable.

Hearing event deserves its own review note in Forced Pooling Hearing Records 2026: 6 Source Controls: retain notice, hearing, continuance, or order, state why the field matters, and identify the condition that would make the observation unreliable.

Order date deserves its own review note in Forced Pooling Hearing Records 2026: 6 Source Controls: retain date shown on the controlling document, state why the field matters, and identify the condition that would make the observation unreliable.

Unit reference deserves its own review note in Forced Pooling Hearing Records 2026: 6 Source Controls: retain well, spacing, or drilling unit identity, state why the field matters, and identify the condition that would make the observation unreliable.

Frequently asked questions

Is the record an application, notice, interim action, or final order?

Oklahoma Corporation Commission records expose regulatory proceedings and oil and gas materials.

Does the legal location match the unit or well reference?

Case identifiers provide a more reliable join than a short operator name alone.

Which document supports the disposition stated in the file?

The order’s date, unit description, and named parties should be read together before an abstract is prepared.

Evidence packet review before handoff

Before this record set is used in a land workflow, review the cause number, order number, legal location, named parties, filing date, order date, disposition, and retrieval path. Preserve each value exactly as the publisher displays it before adding a normalized copy. The normalized field may help with matching, but it should never overwrite the source label or conceal a conflict.

Open each cited source again from the saved locator. Confirm that the identifier, jurisdiction, date meaning, geography, and unit apply to the question being reviewed. Record whether the link opens a specific record, a search interface, or only a general program page. A general entry point can guide further research, but it is not evidence that a particular tract, lease, well, owner, order, or transaction was found.

Keep missing results visible. Note the query used, the coverage available through that interface, the date searched, and the next authorized source or reviewer. Do not convert a blank value into zero or infer an event between two published observations. If two systems disagree, retain both source values and describe the difference without deciding which one controls.

The handoff should separate source observations, administrative normalization, unresolved exceptions, and reviewer decisions. That structure lets another researcher reproduce the search and lets the authorized land, legal, regulatory, accounting, engineering, or commercial reviewer resolve questions within their role. It also prevents a workflow note from being mistaken for a title conclusion, operational determination, or assurance about source completeness.

Limits of the record

The six-month drilling period and 15-day notice rule are procedural controls, not a count of Oklahoma orders or a legal conclusion about a respondent’s rights. The signed order and docket control the specific proceeding.
