No permit shall be issued for the drilling of a well except upon the ground owned by the applicant, or held by the applicant under an oil and gas lease or drilling contract from the owner, giving permission to drill the well. Nothing herein contained, nor any permit issued hereunder, shall be deemed to grant any right or license to the permittee to enter upon or occupy, in any respect, for drilling or production operations, any land except by written permission of the owner. When a permit shall have been issued, the same shall terminate and become inoperative without any action on the part of the City, unless within sixty days from date of issue, actual drilling of the well shall have commenced. The cessation of the drilling operation for a like period shall operate to terminate and cancel the permit and the well shall be deemed abandoned for purposes of this chapter. It shall be unlawful to thereafter drill or operate any such well within the City without the issuance of another permit. (Ord. 2172. Passed 7-5-55.)
