It's interesting to see Rule of Capture survive being a common law most associated with some Lord's hunting (and ownership) rights of deer in a forest, river through their land etc. I think that bit of ancient thinking has been thoroughly superseded in the UK, and for many years. I'm not well up on that bit of law, but today there is a requirement for a permit to extract, which sets very specific limits on what you can extract. Not sure how long those permits last.
