ORDER NO. 105-23 |
REPORT OF THE COMMISSION
This cause came on for hearing before the Commission on November 19, 1979 at 9:00 a.m. in Room 110, State Centennial Building, Denver, Colorado, after giving Notice of Hearing as required by law, on the application of Texas Oil and Gas Corporation for an order to extend the limits of the gas spaced area of the McClave Field, Bent, Kiowa and Prowers Counties, Colorado.
FINDINGS
The Commission finds as follows:
1. Texas Oil & Gas Corporation. as applicant herein, is an interested party in the subject matter of the above-referenced hearing.
2. Due notice of the time, place and purpose of the hearing has been given in all respects as required by law.
3. 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.
4. On May 15, 1957, the Commission issued Order No. 105-1 which established 640-acre drilling and spacing units for the production of gas from the McClave Sand, common source of supply underlying certain lands in Bent and Kiowa Counties, Colorado. The spaced area was extended by subsequent orders and the permitted well is to be located within a radius of 990 feet from the center of the unit, with exceptions for topography.
5. There is sufficient data to justify a determination that the common source of supply of gas from the McClave Sand extends beyond the present limits of the spaced area as established by Order No. 105-1 and subsequent orders. Therefore, the application should be granted and the following described lands should be included in the spaced area of the McClave Field:
|
Township 21 South, Range 47 West, 6th P.M. |
|
|
|
Sections 5 thru 8: All |

|
|
Sections 34 thru 36: All |
6. Said area should be made subject to the provisions of Order No. 105-1 and subsequent orders concerning said McClave Sand; however, the permitted well location for the 640-acre units in the area described in Finding 5 herein should be at a location no closer than 990 feet to the boundaries of the unit, and well locations heretofore permitted and wells heretofore drilled and capable of production from the McClave Sand should be considered the permitted wells for the units upon which they are located.
7. Since Sections 5 and 6, Township 21 South, Range 47 West. 6th P.M. contain in excess of 640-acres, certain drilling and spacing units of approximately 640-acres each should be designated.
