Plan of Operations. 11.1 It is recognized and agreed by the parties hereto that all of the land subject to this agreement is reasonably proved to be productive of Unitized Substances in paying quantities and that the object and purpose of this agreement is to formulate and to put into effect a secondary recovery project in order to effect additional recovery of Unitized Substances, prevent waste and conserve natural resources consistent with good engineering practices expected of a prudent operator. The parties hereto agree that the Unit Operator may, subject to the consent and approval of a plan of operation by the Working Interest Owners and the Supervisor, inject into the Unitized Formation through any well or ▇▇▇▇▇ completed therein, brine, water, air, gas, oil, liquid petroleum gases and any one or more other substances or combinations of substances whether produced from the Unitized Formation or not, and that the location of input ▇▇▇▇▇ and the rate of injection therein and the rate of production shall be governed by standards of good geologic and petroleum engineering practices and conservation methods. The Working Interest Owners and the Supervisor shall be furnished periodic reports on the progress of the plan of operation and any revision or changes thereto; provided, however, that any revision of the plan of operation involving a deviation from the initial plan of operation shall be subject to the consent and approval of the Working Interest Owners and the Supervisor. 11.2 The initial plan of operation shall be filed with the Supervisor concurrently with the filing of this Unit Agreement for final approval.
