In the event the commission has not set a limiting gas-oil ratio for a particular pool, the operator of any well in such pool whose gas-oil ratio exceeds two thousand shall demonstrate to the director that production from such well should not be restricted pending a hearing before the commission to establish a limiting gas-oil ratio. The director may restrict production of any well with a gas-oil ratio exceeding two thousand, until the commission can determine that restrictions are necessary to conserve reservoir energy.
