REPORT OF THE COMMISSION

 

This cause came on for hearing before the Commission on August 16, 1955, at 10:00 a.m., in Room 330, State Office Building, Denver, Colorado, after Notice of Hearing as required by law, on the application of the British-American Oil Producing Company for an exception to Order No. 25-4, for a well to be drilled off the established spacing pattern.

 

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 the drilling unit on which the exception is requested is located adjacent to producing units, and that the requirement to drill the well at the authorized location on the unit would be inequitable or unreasonable.

and that said well should be the permitted oil or gas well for the drilling and spacing unit upon which it is located.
