Utah Admin. Code R649-2-9 - Refusal to Agree
If the operator and owner negotiating in good faith fail to reach agreement for the leasing of that owner's mineral interest or for voluntary participation by that owner in the proposed well prior to the filing of a request for agency action for compulsory pooling of interests in the drilling unit under Section 40-6-6.5 then, the duly-noticed hearing on the request for agency action for compulsory pooling may, at the discretion of the board or its designated hearing examiner, be delayed for a period not to exceed 30 days, to allow for continued good faith negotiations between the operator and the owner.
