The supervisor or his deputy may order the abandonment of any well that has been deserted whether or not any damage is occurring or threatened by reason of said well. Suspension of drilling operations and removal of drilling machinery is prima facie evidence of desertion after the elapse of six months unless a request for an extension of time for a period not to exceed an additional six months is theretofore filed. At any time the supervisor may for good cause shown extend this period.
