§45.  Time within which adoption must be made

An adoption must be made within three years of the servitude owner's knowledge of such operations or production and in any event prior to the date on which his rights would otherwise prescribe.  This limitation does not affect the prescription applicable to any action that the servitude owner may have against another for the wrongful appropriation of his rights of exploration or of production belonging to him.
