With respect to the initial test, the operator shall give twenty-four (24) hour notice of the opportunity to witness said test to the Conservation Division and the offset operator(s) producing from the same formation, but no waiver or signature of Conservation Division personnel is required on Form 1013.
    (b)   Each individual well shall be given an initial allowable equal to the unallocated per-well basis allowable until the production test has been performed with the results reported to the Conservation Division on Form 1013. The allowable shall be effective for a period not longer than 30 days from completion of the well. No further allowable shall be assigned to the well until compliance with this subsection.
    (c)   Until the operator submits the required test results for any excessive water exempt well or project, as provided in subsection (a), no allowable shall be assigned to the well or project. If said test results are filed late, the allowable shall be effective the first day of the following month after the Conservation Division accepts the test.
    (d)   All initial tests shall be conducted as set forth in (a) of this Subsection.
    (e)   Annual testing shall not be required except as provided in OAC 165:10-1-6.
