18. Subsequent to the matter being noticed for hearing, it was discovered that several errors had been made in the Hearing Notice, although the Hearing Application was correct. Sections 22, 25, 26, 27 and 36 of Township 6 South, Range 92 West, 6th P.M. were erroneously omitted from the hearing notice, Sections 20, 21 and 35 of Township 6 South, Range 92 West, 6th P.M. were erroneously noticed as having previously been spaced on 640-acre drilling and spacing units, and several of the setback footages were incorrectly described as 200 feet instead of 400 feet. At the time of the administrative hearing, the Hearing Officer recommended that the testimony and exhibits presented at the administrative hearing address these sections, and that a new Hearing Notice be sent to the affected parties and published to cover only these lands. Provided there are no protests to this new Notice, the Hearing Officer recommended that the Commission allow these lands to be included in any order the Commission enters at the conclusion of the protest date. The footage setback described in the Hearing Notice was more stringent than the setback requested and thus no additional notice on this issue should be required. Finally, because the Hearing Application mailed to all the parties was correct, it was not anticipated that there will be any protests to the new Notice on the eight (8) sections. On April 29, 2005, an amended Notice of Hearing was mailed to the parties affected by the omitted and in error lands. No protests were received to the amended Notice and the order should be amended to include the eight (8) sections described above.
19. Testimony and exhibits presented at the administrative hearing showed the three (3) regressive marine sands, the Corcoran, Cozzette and Rollins members, which comprise the Iles Formation. Additional testimony and exhibits showed that the Rollins average gross sand is one hundred fifty-four (154) feet, with the average net sand greater than eight percent (8%) density porosity of thirty-one (31) feet. Further testimony showed that the Cozzette average gross sand is seventy-one (71) feet, with the average net sand greater than eight percent (8%) density porosity of twenty-eight (28) feet. Testimony showed that the Corcoran average gross sand is one hundred six (106) feet, with the average net sand greater than eight percent (8%) density porosity of thirty-two (32) feet.
20. Testimony and exhibits presented at the administrative hearing showed that two hundred seventy-three (273) wells have penetrated the Rollins, with thirty-nine (39) completions, and twelve (12) wells have penetrated the Cozzette-Corcoran, with five (5) completions. Additional testimony showed that due to porosity distribution, the Iles Formation is not productive in a continuous manner.
21. Testimony and exhibits presented at the administrative hearing showed wells completed in the Rollins and nearby wells where the porosity zone is missing at distances as close as six hundred sixteen (616) feet. Additional testimony showed wells completed in the Cozzette-Corcoran, which although can be correlated over a distance as great as ten thousand (10,000) feet, do not contain uniform porosity, resulting in high variability of gas in sands even over short distances.
22. Testimony and exhibits presented at the administrative hearing showed the initial potential tests for the Rollins Formation for twenty-eight (28) wells, with an average of one hundred fifty-nine (159) MCFGPD and an average of fifteen (15) BWPD.
23. Testimony and exhibits presented at the administrative hearing showed the Rollins Formation estimated average type curve which appears to be similar to the Williams Fork Formation with respect to porosity distribution, permeability and regional stress environment.
24. Testimony and exhibits presented at the administrative hearing showed that a stand-alone Rollins Formation completion costs approximately one million dollars ($1,000,000) while a dual completion to the Williams Fork and Rollins Formations cost an approximate one hundred fifty thousand dollars ($150,000), making it uneconomic to drill stand-alone Rollins Formation wells. Additional testimony indicated that a dual completion Williams Fork Formation and Rollins Formation well is economic, with payout occurring in less than two (2) years.
25. The above-referenced testimony and exhibits show that the proposed density will allow more efficient drainage, will prevent waste, will not violate correlative rights and will assure a greater ultimate recovery of gas and associated hydrocarbons from the Iles Formation that may not be drilled without utilizing the same density and well locations as Williams Fork Formation wells.
26. BBC intends to drill and complete Iles Formation wells only in association with the drilling and completing of wells in the Williams Fork Formation, and commits that Mesaverde Formation wells will be drilled within a given quarter quarter section will be drilled from the surface either vertically or directionally from one pad located on that quarter quarter section.
27. Bill Barrett Corporation agrees to be bound by oral order of the Commission.
28. Based on the facts stated in the verified application, having received no protests and having been heard by the Hearing Officer who recommended approval, the Commission should approve an order to establish spacing rules and to increase the number of wells which can be optionally drilled into and produced from the Iles Formation of the Mesaverde Group which constitute existing drilling units (or portions thereof) to the equivalent of one Williams Fork Formation well per 10 acres for certain lands in Townships 6 and 7 South, Ranges 91 and 92 West, 6th P.M.
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED, that 640-acre drilling and spacing units are hereby established for the production of gas and associated hydrocarbons from the Iles Formation, for the below-listed lands, with the permitted well to be located downhole anywhere in the drilling and spacing unit but no closer than 100 feet from the boundaries of the unit without exception being granted by the Director of the Oil and Gas Conservation Commission. Where these lands abut or corner lands in respect of which the Commission has not at the time of drilling permit application granted the right to drill 10-acre density Iles Formation wells, the well shall be located downhole no closer than 400 feet from the boundary or boundaries of the drilling unit so abutting or cornering such lands without exception being granted by the Director of the Oil and Gas Conservation Commission. In addition, the order shall allow the number of wells which can be optionally drilled into and produced from the Iles Formation to the equivalent of one well per 10 acres.
