(2) When the department limits the total amount of oil or gas which may be produced in the state or a marketing district, the department shall allocate or distribute the allowable production among the pools in the district on a reasonable basis, giving, where reasonable under the circumstances to each pool with small wells of settled production, an allowable production which prevents the general premature abandonment of the wells in the pool.

(3) When the department limits the total amount of oil or gas which may be produced in any pool in this state to an amount less than that amount which the pool could produce if no restriction were imposed, which limitation is imposed either incidental to, or without, a limitation of the total amount of oil or gas produced in the marketing district wherein the pool is located, the department shall allocate or distribute the allowable production among the wells or producing properties in the pool on a reasonable basis, preventing or minimizing reasonable avoidable drainage, so that each property will have the opportunity to produce or to receive its just and equitable share, subject to the reasonable necessities for the prevention of waste.

(4) In allocating the market demand for gas between pools within marketing districts, the department shall give due regard to the fact that gas produced from oil pools is to be regulated in a manner which will protect the reasonable use of its energy for oil production.

(5) The department is not required to determine the reasonable market demand applicable to any single pool, except in relation to all other pools within the same marketing district, and in relation to the demand applicable to the marketing district. In allocating allowables to pools, the department may consider, but is not bound by nominations of purchasers to purchase from particular fields, pools, or portions thereof. The department shall allocate the total allowable for the state in a manner which prevents undue discrimination between marketing districts, fields, pools, or portions thereof resulting from selective buying or nomination by purchasers.
