REPORT OF THE COMMISSION

 

This cause came on for hearing before the Commission on November 18, 1975 at 9 a.m., in Room 532, State Services Building, Denver, Colorado, after giving Notice of Hearing as required by law, on the application of Rex Monahan, for an order approving a secondary recovery program by injection of water into the "J" Sand reservoir underlying certain lands in the Graylin-Northwest Field, Logan County, Colorado.

 

FINDINGS

 

The Commission finds as follows:

 

1.      That due notice of the time, place and purpose of the hearing has been given in all respects as required by law.

 

2.      That the Commission has jurisdiction over the subject matter embraced in said Notice, and of the parties interested therein, and jurisdiction to promulgate the hereinafter prescribed order.

 

3.      That the "J" Sand reservoir to be affected underlies an area consisting of lands, with common ownership, in part of the Graylin-Northwest Field, Logan County, Colorado, and is described as follows:

 

Township 8 North, Range 53 West, 6th P.M.

 

 

Section 7:

E½ NE¼

Section 8:

4.      That the proposed program for secondary recovery by injection of water into the Well No. 3-8 Luft, located 2250 feet from the west line and 1400 feet from the north line, Section 8, Township 8 North, Range 53 West, 6th P.M. into the "J" Sand reservoir underlying lands as described herein, is necessary to increase the ultimate recovery of oil from said area, and will result in an additional recovery of oil with a value in excess of the estimated additional cost incident to conducting such operation.
