CAUSE NO. 29

 

ORDER NO. 29-2

 

REPORT OF THE COMMISSION

 

This cause came on for hearing before the Commission on July 22, 1958, at 10 a.m., in Room 330 State Office Building, Denver, Colorado after publication of Notice of Hearing as required by law, on the Commission's own motion to consider possible deletion of portions of the Springdale Field.

 

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 April 15, 1954, the Commission issued its Order No. 29-1 which, among other things, established drilling and spacing units for the production of gas from the "D" and "J" sands, common sources of supply, and defined the area to be known as the Springdale Field.

 

4.      That subsequent development indicates that the E½ SW¼ SW¼ of Section 16, and the E½ NW¼ NW¼ of Section 21, Township 8 North, Range 53 West, 6th P.M., Logan County, Colorado, is nonproductive of gas in the "J" sand, and is possibly productive of oil in the "D" sand, said "D" sand being a different reservoir than that underlying the Springdale Field, and that therefore the above lands should be deleted from said Springdale Field.

 

ORDER

 

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED, that the East Half of the Southwest Quarter of the Southwest Quarter (E½ SW¼ SW¼) of Section Sixteen (16), and the East Half of the Northwest Quarter of the Northwest Quarter (E½ NW¼ NW¼ ) of Section Twenty-one (21), Township Eight (8) North, Range Fifty-three (53) West, 6th P.M., Logan County, Colorado, is hereby deleted from the area described in Order No. 29-1, Cause No. 29, leaving the area of the Springdale Field as follows;

 

West Half (W½) and West Half of the Northeast Quarter (W½ NE¼ ) of Section Fifteen (15); North Half Southeast Quarter (SE¼) and North Half and Southeast Quarter of the Southwest Quarter (N½ SW¼, SW¼ ) of Section Sixteen (16), and East Half of Northwest Quarter (E½ NW¼) of Section Twenty-one (21), Township Eight (8) North, Range Fifty-three (53)West, 6th P.M., Logan County, Colorado.

 

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, that the Commission expressly reserves its right, after notice and hearing, to alter, amend or repeal the above order.

 

ORDERED this 22nd day of July, 1958.
