Rights appropriated and condemned; compensation paid
Sec. 4. Only the rights in land necessary for use in connection
with underground storage of gas and those subsurface strata
adaptable for underground storage of gas may be appropriated and
condemned under this chapter. Rights in the subsurface of land
constituting a part of a geological structure are deemed necessary to
the operation of an underground storage reservoir in the structure. In
determining the compensation to be paid to the owner of an oil
producing stratum, or interest in the stratum, condemned under this
chapter, proof may be offered and consideration must be given to
potential recovery, if any, of oil from a stratum by secondary or other
subsequent recovery processes in addition to potential recovery by
a primary process.
