In provisions regarding integration and unitization of ownership interests and just compensation for nonconsenting pore space owners, provides that such compensation shall be no less than the average total payment package provided to similarly situated consenting pore space owners (rather than provided in agreements during the previous 365 days to similarly situated pore space owners). Removes provisions requiring the compensation to exclude incentives provided to consenting pore space owners prior to the initiation of injection.
