You must pay and report the royalties from any such well either as specified in the underlying lease or other federally-approved oil and gas agreements.\n(b) If you drilled a well after the unit was formed and the well is completed within an existing participating area, the production becomes a part of that participating area production even if it does not meet the productivity criteria. BLM may require the participating area to be revised under § 3137.84 of this subpart.\n(c) If a well not meeting the productivity criteria is outside a participating area, the production is allocated as provided in paragraph (a) of this section.","path":["Title 43—Public Lands: Interior","Subtitle B—Regulations Relating to Public Lands","CHAPTER II—BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT, DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR","SUBCHAPTER C—MINERALS MANAGEMENT (3000)","PART 3130—OIL AND GAS LEASING: NATIONAL PETROLEUM RESERVE, ALASKA","Subpart 3137—Unitization Agreements—National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska"],"source_url":"https://www.ecfr.gov/api/versioner/v1/full/2026-08-25/title-43.xml","current_through":"2026-08-25","vintage":"","retrieved_at":"2026-08-27T02:26:15Z","sha256":"a5826b57ac586197e2fb9721c80d11895b87ce7c8e1477821344a27711b11f42","source_id":"us-cfr","stale":true,"prev":"us/43-cfr-3137.88","next":"us/43-cfr-3137.90"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
