 (b) two or more reservoirs, all grouped on, or related to, the same individual geological structure and/or stratigraphic condition.
 (2) For the purposes of paragraph (1)(b) of this section, 2 or more reservoirs may be within one field despite being separated:
 (a) vertically by intervening impervious strata; and/or
 (b) laterally by local geological barriers.
 (3) For the purposes of paragraph (1)(b) of this section:
 (a) reservoirs do not belong to the same field if:
 (i) they are located in separate culminations of one gross geological structure or in widely separated locations of the same stratigraphic trap situation; and
 (ii) the horizontal separation of the areas overlying the productive reservoirs exceeds 1 kilometre; and
 (b) 2 or more reservoirs that occur in, or are related to, different geological structures and/or stratigraphic conditions, belong to the same field if the reservoirs:
