All leaks shall be corrected as quickly as possible or plugged by cementing methods outlined in Chapter 3, Section 18 of these rules. Section 28. Use of Gas for Artificial Lifting. Gas may be used for artificial lifting of oil where all such gas returned to the surface with the oil is used without waste. Where the returned gas is not to be so used, the use of gas for artificial lifting of oil is prohibited unless otherwise specifically authorized by the Supervisor. Section 29. Classification of Gas Production.
