) ) ) ) |
CAUSE NO. 226
ORDER NO. 226-14, 239-3 |
REPORT OF THE COMMISSION
This cause came on for hearing before the Commission on June 20, 1972, 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 Amoco Production Company for an order deleting all of Section 7, Township 5 South, Range 60 West, 6th P.M., from the Peoria Field, and no longer made subject to the provisions of the Orders in Cause No. 226, and adding said Section to the Latigo Field and making it subject to the provisions of Order No. 239-1.
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 July 21, 1970, the Commission issued its Order No. 226-2 in Cause No. 226 which, among other things, established 80-acre drilling and spacing units for the production of oil from the "J" Sand underlying the Peoria Field, with the permitted well for each unit to be located in the center of the NE¼ and the SW¼ of each quarter section, with a tolerance of 200 feet in any direction. Order Nos. 226-6 and 226-8 subsequently enlarged the area to be made subject to the provisions of Order No. 226-2. Other orders have been issued affecting operations in said Field.
[sic] On April 28, 1971, the Commission issued its Order No. 239-1 in Cause No. 239 which, among other things, established 80-acre drilling and spacing units for the production of oil from the "J" Sand underlying the Latigo Field, with the permitted well for each unit to be located in the center of the NW¼ and SE¼ of each quarter section with a tolerance of 200 feet in any direction.
4. That evidence presented at the hearing indicates that should a well be drilled and completed in the "J" Sand in Section 7, Township 5 South, Range 60 West, 6th P.M., said Sand would be a common source of supply underlying the Latigo Field rather than the Peoria Field and therefore said Section should be deleted from the Peoria Field and included in the Latigo Field and made subject to the provisions of Order No. 239-1.
ORDER
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that Section 7, Township 5 South, Range 60 West, 6th P.M., is hereby deleted from the Peoria Field and is no longer subject to the provisions of the Orders in Cause No. 226, and the Peoria Field shall henceforth consist of the following described lands in Arapahoe County, Colorado, to-wit:
Township 4 South, Range 60 West, 6th P.M. |
