APPLICATION
COMES
NOW, Rosewood Resources, Inc., a Delaware corporation, by its attorneys Dorsey
& Whitney LLP and makes application to the Oil and Gas Conservation
Commission of the State of Colorado, for an order allowing an exception to the
location of a well to be completed in an existing drilling and spacing unit for
the Niobrara formation in the Waverly Field (Outside Area), Yuma County,
Colorado. In support thereof, Rosewood
Resources, Inc. (referred to herein as "Applicant") states and
alleges as follows:
1.
That the Applicant is the owner of numerous leasehold
interests in Yuma County, Colorado, located within the area requested for an
exception location in an existing spacing unit.
2.
That the Applicant is requesting that the Monk #1-7 Well
be permitted to be drilled to the Niobrara Formation at the following
location: 666’ FEL and 2028’ FSL of
Section 7, T4N, R46W, Yuma County, Colorado.
3.
That the lands covered by this Application have heretofore
been spaced for production of gas from the Niobrara formation pursuant to,
among other orders, Order No. 328-5 through which 160-acre drilling and spacing
units were established, with the two permitted wells to be located in the
center of NW quarter quarter section and the SE quarter quarter section with a
tolerance of 100 feet.
4.
Applicant proposes that the Monk #1-7 Well be permitted
to be drilled at the proposed exception location to optimize recovery of
reserves from the Niobrara Formation based upon geologic considerations.
5.
That in order to prevent waste and protect correlative
rights of all owners in the area surrounding the proposed location, it is
reasonable and equitable to permit an exception location to allow the
recompletion of a well in the described location. Applicant also asserts that Rule 318 c of the
Rules and Regulations of the Oil and Gas Conservation Commission provides for
exception locations when geologic, topographical or environmental conditions
warrant a variance from field rules.
6.
That all contiguous and cornering Owners in lands toward
when the well is proposed to be moved who are affected by the exception
location have executed waivers consenting to this exception location except
those who are set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto. WHEREFORE,
Applicant respectfully requests that this matter be set for hearing at the next
regular hearing date, that notice thereof be given as required by law and that
upon such hearing the Commission enter its order:
A. Determining
that Monk #1-7 Well to be located in the NE/4SE/4 of Section 7, Township 4
North, Range 46 West, 6th P.M., be permitted to be recompleted in the Niobrara
Formation as follows:
Well Name Exception
Location
Monk #1-7 Well 666’
FEL and 2028’ FSL of Section 7, T4N, R46W,
Yuma
County, Colorado
B. Granting any other relief necessary to
prevent waste and protect correlative rights of the owners.

this ____ day of January, 2003.
