The reduction shall apply to each contract in force at that time and shall be a percentage of the maximum volume of gas which B.C.P.C. is obliged at the time of reduction to purchase each day or each year (whichever is specified in the contract) applicable to lands within the Pool. The percentage shall be the same as the percentage which the daily gas allowables of the wells or designated areas of the contract of the new producer is of the total of the daily gas allowables for the Pool. 2. The obligation of B.C.P.C. to purchase gas from each contract providing for delivery of gas from the Pool shall be further reduced at the time that the second and each subsequent effective date occurs in respect of the Pool.
