REPORT OF THE COMMISSION

 

This cause came on for hearing before the Commission on October 15, 1957, at 10 a.m., in Room 243 State Capitol, Denver, Colorado, after Notice of Hearing and appropriate waivers of service as required by law, on the application of the Raymond Oil Company for an exception to Rule 317 of the Rules and Regulations of The Oil and Gas Conservation Commission of the State of Colorado, for a well to be drilled in the Center of the SW/4 NE/4 NE/4 of Section 16, Township 6 North, Range 53 West, 6th P. M., 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 an exception to Rule 317 of the Rules and Regulations of The Oil and Gas Conservation Commission of the State of Colorado should be granted for a well to be drilled on the following described location:

 

Center of the Southwest Quarter of the Northeast Quarter of the Northeast Quarter (C SW/4 NE/4 NE/4) of Section 16, Township 6 North, Range 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 a location as provided in said Rule 317, the Commission should, at the request of interested persons, 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; and that a tolerance of fifty (50) feet in any direction from such location should be permitted in the event surface obstructions or undue hazards are encountered.

 

ORDER

 

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED, that an exception shall be granted for a well to be drilled in the Center of the Southwest Quarter of the Northeast Quarter of the Northeast Quarter ( C [sic] SW/4 NE/4 NE/4) of Section Sixteen (16), Township Six (6) 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 a location as provided in Rule 317 of the Rules and Regulations of The Oil and Gas Conservation Commission of the State of Colorado, the Commission shall, at the request of interested persons, 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; and a tolerance of fifty (50) feet in any direction from such location shall be permitted in the event surface obstructions or undue hazards are encountered.

 

ORDERED this 15th day of October, 1957.
