Ethridge, J.

This case is concerned with the constitutional basis of a statute authorizing the State Oil and Gas Board to require all of the owners in an oil or gas drilling unit to pool and integrate their interests in the unit in order to prevent waste or the drilling of unnecessary wells, and the legality of an order of the Board under that act. We affirm the validity of both the statute and the order.
