REPORT OF THE COMMISSION

 

This cause came on for hearing on March 21, 1988 at 9:00 a.m. in Room 110, State Centennial Building, 1313 Sherman Street, Denver, Colorado after giving Notice of Hearing, as required by law, on the Commission's own motion to consider rescinding Order No. 195-1.

 

FINDINGS

 

The Commission finds as follows:

 

1.      Due Notice of the time, place and purpose of the hearing has been given in all respects as required by law.

 

2.      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.      On April 16, 1966, Order No. 195-1 was issued by the Commission which established 320-acre drilling and spacing units for production of gas and associated hydrocarbons from the "J" Sand formation underlying certain lands in the Buckskin Field, Adams County, Colorado.  Subsequent Order Nos. 195-2 and an addendum to Order No. 195-2 pooled the interests in the 320-acre unit in the E1/2 of Section 16, Township 2 South, Range 60 West, 6th P.M., and set a monthly charge for supervision and production from the well drilled and completed on the unit.  The spaced area is described as follows:

 

Township 2 South, Range 60 West, 6th P.M.

 

 

Section 9:  E1/2

Section 17:  E1/2

Section 10:  All

Section 20:  E1/2

Section 15:  W1/2

Section 21:  All

Section 16:  All

 

 

4.      Since all wells in the areas described above are plugged and abandoned and in order to promote future development, Order Nos. 195-1 and 195-2 with addendum are no longer necessary and should be rescinded and the land described herein above made subject to the general rules and regulations of the Commission

 

ORDER

 

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED, that Order Nos. 195-1 and 195-2 and addendum are hereby rescinded, and the lands described in Finding 3 herein above shall henceforth be subject to the general rules and regulations of the Commission.

 

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, that the provisions contained in the above order shall be effective forthwith.

 

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

 

Entered this 28th day of March, 1988, as of March 21, 1988.
