On December 19, 1983, the Commission issued Order No. 328-5 which established 160-acre drilling and spacing units for the production of gas and associated hydrocarbons from the Niobrara Formation in the Waverly Field (Outside Area), with the permitted well to be located in the center of either the NW quarter-quarter or the SE quarter-quarter with a tolerance of 100 feet in any direction.  An additional well was allowed to be drilled in the undrilled diagonal offset quarter-quarter section, with a tolerance of 100 feet in any direction.  Section 7, Township 4 North, Range 46 West, 6^th P.M. was included in this order.

 

            On January 27, 2003, Rosewood Resources, Inc., by its attorney, filed with the Commission a verified application for an order to allow the drilling of the Monk #2-7 Well at an exception location 2028 feet FNL and 1995 feet FEL in the SW¼ NE¼ of Section 7, Township 4 North, Range 46 West, 6^th P.M., for the production of gas and associated hydrocarbons from the Niobrara Formation.  The Applicant proposes to drill the well at an exception location to optimize recovery of reserves from the Niobrara Formation based upon geologic considerations.
