OPINION
HATTER, District Judge:
Union Oil seeks to have Department of Energy (DOE) Ruling 1981-1 of February 19, 1981' declared unlawful. That ruling was made in the wake of President Reagan’s Executive Order of January 28, 1981, which ended price controls on domestic crude oil. Union claims the ruling is unlawful because it extended incentives available for the recovery of tertiary oil beyond this cutoff date. Because of the complexity of this issue some discussion of the background and history of crude oil price controls and the tertiary incentive program is necessary.
