unitization
Dividing into portions
Unitization is the process of consolidating separate items or interests into a single unit.
In oil and gas, it means combining multiple lease holdings to operate a field as one unit, allowing efficient extraction across property boundaries.
In shipping and logistics, unitization means bundling cargo into standardized units—pallets, containers—for easier handling: Unitization reduced loading time by half.
