All rights, burdens, duties and undertakings attributable to working interest other than the duty to pay royalty proceeds shall remain with such working interest and shall not be communitized pursuant to the Production Revenue Standards Act.D. Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Production Revenue Standards Act, any working interest owner that pays or causes to be paid royalty proceeds for gas production in accordance with the Production Revenue Standards Act valued according to the terms of such working interest owner's lease shall be relieved from all liability to royalty interest owners for any further payment of proceeds from such production.E. Nothing in the Production Revenue Standards Act shall:1. Prevent any working interest owner entitled to produce gas from receiving the price agreed upon by contract;2. Eliminate or otherwise affect the rights and remedies available to any operator or working interest owner against any other working interest owner, including but not limited to an operator, that defaults or fails to pay its proportionate share of the well cost; or3.
