REPORT OF THE COMMISSION
This cause came on for hearing before the Commission on July 16, 1974 at 9 a.m., in Room 132, State Services Building, Denver, Colorado, after giving Notice of Hearing as required by law, on the application of Rocky Mountain Natural Gas Company, for an order to rescind Order Nos. 102-1 and 102-2 and substitute in lieu of the provisions of the general rules and regulations for an area in the Bar-X Field, Mesa County.
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 on March 29, 1957, the Commission issued its Order No. 102-1, which was amended by subsequent Order No. 102-2, establishing 640-acre drilling and spacing units for the production of gas from the Salt Wash member of the Morrison formation, the Dakota-Upper Morrison Group and the Entrada formation underlying the following described lands in the Bar-X Field, Mesa County, Colorado, to-wit:

4. That geological evidence presented at the hearing indicates that one well will not drain 640-acres due to the lenticular nature of the gas productive sands and further evidence presented indicates that the economics of drilling for gas in the area defined herein has changed and the limitation of one well per 640-acres can no longer be justified; therefore Order Nos. 102-1 and 102-2 should be rescinded and said area be made subject to the general rules and regulations of the Commission.
ORDER
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED, that Order Nos. 102-1 and 102-2 in Cause No. 102 are hereby rescinded, and operations in the area known as the Bar-X Field, and as described in Finding 3 herein shall be governed by the general rules and regulations of this Commission.
ORDERED this 16th day of July 1974.
