Unitization agreement maps identify areas of land that parties with interests
therein are bound, by agreement, to share investment costs and revenues
generated from the production of minerals within the defined boundary. A
unit may be created by convention or by order of a state or federal government
agency. A unit formed by order of government is called a 'compulsory
unit.'
Detroit River units have been named as such because a majority of the
minerals produced within them originated in a rock formation called the Detroit
River group, which contains a variety of rock types, including shale, gypsum,
and limestone.
