  (e) Divided-interest leases. Unless an agreement under this paragraph provides otherwise, where a well is located on a divided-interest lease involving Federal (or Indian) and private (or State) ownership: (1) The Federal jurisdictional agency will make the determination where the majority lease interest is Federal (or Indian); (2) The State jurisdictional agency will make the determination where the majority lease interest is private (or State); and (3) The State jurisdictional agency will make the determination where the lease is divided equally.

  (f) Drilling units. Unless an agreement under paragraph (e) of this section provides otherwise, where a drilling unit is drained by two or more wells, the Federal jurisdictional agency will make the determination if the completion location of the well in question is located on a Federal (or Indian) lease, and the State jurisdictional agency will make the determination if the completion location of the well in question is located on a private (or State) lease.
