Whenever it appears to the director that the owners, lessors, lessees, or operators of any well or wells producing oil and gas or oil or gas are causing or permitting an unreasonable waste of gas, he may institute, or have proceedings instituted, in the name of the people of the State of California, to enjoin the unreasonable waste of gas regardless of whether proceedings have or have not been instituted under sections 3302 to 3305, and regardless of whether an order has or has not been made therein.
Such proceedings shall be instituted in the superior court of the county in which is situated the well or wells, or any thereof, from which the unreasonable waste of gas is occurring. The owners, lessors, lessees, or operators causing or permitting an unreasonable waste of gas in the same oil or gas field may be made parties to the action, although their properties and interests may be separately owned and their unreasonable waste separate and distinct.
