Common purchaser of crude oil and petroleum; duties; ratable taking; discrimination prohibited A. Every person as defined in this article which may now, or hereafter, purchase crude oil or petroleum in this state, whether they be common carriers or affiliated with common carriers or not, shall be a common purchaser of such crude oil or petroleum, and shall purchase crude oil or petroleum offered it for purchase without discrimination in favor of one producer or person as against another in the same field. The question of justice or unreasonableness shall be determined by the commission, taking into consideration the production and age of the wells in respective fields and all other proper factors. It shall be unlawful for any common purchaser to discriminate between or against crude oil or petroleum of a similar kind or quality in favor of its own production, or production in which it may be directly or indirectly interested, either in whole or in part, but for the purpose of allocating the purchase of crude oil or petroleum to be marketed, such production shall be taken in like manner as that of any other person or producer and shall be taken in a ratable proportion that such production bears to the total production offered for the market in such field. The commission shall have the authority, however, to relieve any such common purchaser, after due notice and hearing, from the duty of purchasing crude oil or petroleum of inferior quality or grade. B. It shall be the duty of the commission to enforce the provisions of this section and it shall have the power, after notice and hearing, to issue orders defining the conditions under which extensions of pipelines shall be made to connect wells, but no such order shall be made unless the commission finds that such extensions are reasonably required and economically justified. In issuing such orders the commission shall give specific consideration to the economic factors involved. ## Nearby sections - [A.R.S. § 27-501 27-501 Definitions](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/STATE_AZ_T27_C4_A1_S501.md) - [A.R.S. § 27-502 27-502 Declaration of policy](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/STATE_AZ_T27_C4_A1_S502.md) - [A.R.S. § 27-503 27-503 Waste of oil or gas prohibited; powers of commissioner to prevent waste](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/STATE_AZ_T27_C4_A1_S503.md) - [A.R.S. § 27-504 27-504 Drilling units; rules and regulations; exceptions](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/STATE_AZ_T27_C4_A1_S504.md) - [A.R.S. § 27-505 27-505 Pooling of interests](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/STATE_AZ_T27_C4_A1_S505.md) - [A.R.S. § 27-506 27-506 Regulation of drilling in pools; notice of sale, transfer or purchase](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/STATE_AZ_T27_C4_A1_S506.md) - [A.R.S. § 27-507.01 27-507.01 Common purchaser of crude oil and petroleum; duties; ratable taking; discrimination prohibited](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/STATE_AZ_T27_C4_A1_S507.01.md) - [A.R.S. § 27-508.01 27-508.01 Common purchaser of gas; duties; ratable taking; discrimination prohibited](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/STATE_AZ_T27_C4_A1_S508.01.md) - [A.R.S. § 27-509 27-509 Certificate of compliance](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/STATE_AZ_T27_C4_A1_S509.md) - [A.R.S. § 27-510 27-510 Certificate of clearance](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/STATE_AZ_T27_C4_A1_S510.md) - [A.R.S. § 27-511 27-511 Confiscation proceedings](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/STATE_AZ_T27_C4_A1_S511.md) - [A.R.S. § 27-512 27-512 Sale of illegal oil or gas or illegal products](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/STATE_AZ_T27_C4_A1_S512.md) - [A.R.S. § 27-513 27-513 Permit to drill well](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/STATE_AZ_T27_C4_A1_S513.md) - [A.R.S. § 27-513.01 27-513.01 Appointment by drilling permittee of attorney upon whom to serve process](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/STATE_AZ_T27_C4_A1_S513.01.md) --- Source: Frix Law Library, https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/STATE_AZ_T27_C4_A1_S507.01.
