If the application complies in all respects with the rules and regulations of the board relating thereto, a permit shall be issued by the supervisor upon approval by the State Oil and Gas Board, after notice and hearing. Any such permit, when issued and the fee paid thereon, shall be good for a period of one (1) year from the date thereof; and in the event drilling has commenced within one (1) year, the permit shall be good for the life of the well commenced, unless during the course of drilling or production the operator is changed.
