Allocation unit sub units- do they have to be producing?

When an operator joins multiple units together to form a larger allocation unit, do the sub units that make it up have to be producing?  There's a unit designated in a allocation unit that has no drilling permit that I can find, I have never seen division orders on, and have never been paid on.  Yet, they have a unit designation document and say this is how our acreage is included in the allocation unit.  

Thx

The Unit Designation filed in the county makes it legal, I would think, but I am not a lawyer.
