Okla. Stat. tit. 52, § 52-238: Conservation of gas

Whenever natural gas in commercial quantities, or a gas-bearing

stratum, known to contain natural gas in such quantity, is

encountered in any well drilled for oil or gas in this state, such

gas shall be confined to its original stratum until such time as the

same can be produced and utilized without waste, and all such strata

shall be adequately protected from infiltrating waters. Any

unrestricted flow of natural gas in excess of two million

(2,000,000) cubic feet per twenty-four (24) hours shall be

considered a commercial quantity thereof; provided, that if in the

opinion of the Corporation Commission, gas of a lesser quantity

shall be of commercial value, said Commission shall have authority

to require the conservation of said gas in accordance with the

provisions of this act; and provided, further, the gauge of the

capacity of any gas well shall not be taken until such well has been

allowed an open flow for the period of three (3) days.
