(a) Any applicant for a permit shall be required to file with the application an affidavit stating that the applicant has complied with all conditions of this chapter or setting forth any exceptions thereto. Any false statement in such affidavit shall be grounds to refuse to issue a permit to drill or shall be grounds to revoke a permit already issued.
(b) No permit shall be issued for the drilling of an oil and/or gas well except upon real estate owned by the applicant for such permit, or held by such applicant under a lease or drilling contract from the owner, giving such applicant permission to drill such well. Nothing herein, nor any permit issued hereunder shall be deemed to grant any right or license to the permittee to enter upon or occupy any land, or to commence in any respect upon drilling or production operations thereon except by the written permission of the owners.
