To permit the operator to produce the unit allowable for each unit from the respective unit wells and/or the alternate unit wells, in any combination, at its discretion of the operator. 4. To find that unit production from the proposed cross unit horizontal alternate unit wells shall be allocated to each unit in the same proportion as the perforated length of the lateral in each unit bears to the total length of the perforated lateral as determined by an "as drilled" survey performed after the cross unit horizontal well is drilled and completed. 5. To provide that production from each cross unit horizontal well shall be separated and metered individually and this information shall be reported in the manner prescribed by the Office of Conservation. 6. To find that, with respect to horizontal wells drilled to the Haynesville Zone, Reservoir A, within or to serve HA RA SU76, HA RA SU74, HA RA SU82, HA RA SU65 and HA RA SU139, where the horizontal portion of the well is cased and cemented back above the top of the Haynesville Zone, Reservoir A, the distance to any unit boundary and offset well(s) should be calculated based on the distance to the nearest perforation in the well, and not based on the penetration point or terminus; terminus or u-turn portion of the well. 7.
