On June 15, 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, underlying certain lands in the Ignacio-Blanco Field, with the units to
consist of a governmental half section and the permitted well when South of the
Ute Line to be located in the NE¼ and the SW¼ of each section and when North of
the Ute Line to be located in the NW¼ and SE¼ of each section, no closer than
990 feet from the boundaries of the quarter section, nor closer than 130 feet
to any interior quarter section line. On
On December 23, 2002, Richard and
Theresa Watson (the “Applicants”) filed an
application with the Commission for an order pooling their mineral interests in four (4) acres within the 320-acre
drilling and spacing unit consisting of the E½ of Section 9, Township 34 North,
Range 9 West, N.M.P.M., for the University #9-1 Well effective as of the date
of completion. The Applicants seek the
pooling order against EnerVest San Juan Operating, LLC. (“EnerVest”) because
EnerVest purchased the University #9-1 Well from Emerald Gas Operating Company,
who purchased the Well from Bowen/Edwards Associates, Inc., who originally
drilled the well. The Well was operated
