On February 11, 2011, the Commission entered Order No. 535-4 which, among other things, established 74 approximate 640-acre drilling and spacing units, and approved one horizontal well within each unit,for the production of oil, gas and associated hydrocarbons from the Niobrara Formation. Order No. 535-4 incorrectly stated the Application Lands were subject to Rule 318.a., contained misleading language which could be interpreted as approving surface locations inconsistent with Rule 318A, and incorrectly required 600 foot setbacks from the boundaries of each unit. Certain lands in Townships 4, 5 and 6 North, Ranges 61 and 62, West, 6th P.M.
