REPORT OF THE COMMISSION

This cause came on for hearing before the Commission on September 16, 1975, at 9 A.M., in Room 532, State Services Building, Denver, Colorado, after giving Notice of Hearing as required by law, on the application of Patrick A. Doheny, for an order establishing two 240-acre drilling and spacing units for the production of gas from the "J" Sand underlying certain lands in Logan County, Colorado.

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 evidence presented at the hearing was insufficient to sustain" the establishment of two-240-acre drilling and spacing units, and further the proposed units would be located on such parcels of land that would unnecessarily complicate the formation of other units in the area should it become necessary in the future. Therefore, the application should be denied.

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED, that the application of Patrick A. Doheny, requesting the establishment of two 240-acre drilling and spacing units for the production of gas from the "J" Sand underlying the Vaquero Field, Logan County, Colo-rado, is hereby denied.
