On July 11, 1988, the Commission
issued Order No. 112-60, which established 320-acre drilling and spacing units
for the production of gas and associated hydrocarbons from the Fruitland Coal
Seams for certain lands, including Township 33 North, Range 11 West, N.M.P.M., with
the permitted well located, when north of the north line of Township 32 North,
in the NW¼ and the SE¼ of the section, and when south of the north line of
Township 32 North, in the NE¼ and the SW¼ of the section and no closer than 990
feet to any outer boundary of the unit, nor closer than 130 feet to any
interior quarter section line.
Subsequent orders issued in Cause
No. 112 allowed an optional additional well to be drilled for production of gas
and associated hydrocarbons from the Fruitland Coal Seams for certain 320-acre
drilling and spacing units, with the permitted well to be located in any
undrilled quarter section no closer than 990 feet to any outer boundary of the
unit nor closer than 130 feet to any interior quarter section line.
On August 4, 2003, Southern Ute
Tribe, d/b/a Red Willow Production Company, by its attorney, filed with the
Commission a verified application for an order to allow two (2) wells to be
drilled in the existing 320-acre drilling and spacing units underlying the below-described
lands with the second well being an optional well to be drilled and completed
in the discretion of the operator in the center of the NE¼ and/or the SW¼ with
a tolerance in any direction of 200 feet.
The Applicant also requests that the Director may without further notice
and hearing approve exceptions to the permitted well locations due to
topography or surface hazards.
