ORDER NO. 25-8

 

REPORT OF THE COMMISSION

 

This cause came on for hearing before the Commission on February 21, 1956, at 10:00 a.m., in Room 330 State Office Building, Denver, Colorado, after Notice of Hearing as required by law, on the application of the British-American Oil Producing Company for an exception to Order No. 25-4, for a well to be drilled off the established spacing pattern.

 

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 an exception to Order No. 25-4 should be allowed for the Luft D-1 well to be drilled on the following described location:

 

Center of the Northeast Quarter of the South east Quarter (NE/4 SE/4) of Section Six (6), Township Eight (8) North, Range Fifty-three (53) West, 6th P.M., Logan County, Colorado,

 

and that said well should be the permitted well for the drilling and spacing unit upon which it is located; however, if a commercial well is drilled on the location set forth above, instead of on the location defined by Order No. 25-4, the Commission should take such action as will offset any advantage which the person securing the exception may have over other producers by reason of the drilling of the well as an exception.

 

ORDER

 

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED, that an exception shall be granted for the Luft D-1 well to be drilled in the Center of the Northeast Quarter of the Southeast Quarter (NE/4 SE/4) of Section Six (6), Township Eight (8) North, Range Fifty-three (53) West, 6th P.M., Logan County, Colorado, and that said well shall be the permitted well for the drilling and spacing unit upon which it is located; however, if a commercial well is drilled on the location set forth above, instead of on the location defined by Order No. 25-4, the Commission shall take such action as will offset any advantage which the person securing the exception may have over other producers by reason of the drilling of the well as an exception.

 

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, that the Commission expressly reserves its right, after notice and hearing, to alter, amend or repeal any and/or all of the above rules and regulations.

 

ORDERED this 2nd day of March, 1956.
