On March 11, 1964, Applicant, the Monsanto Chemical Company, filed with the Commission a Motion for further continuance of hearing in this cause to July 21, 1964; and for an order to be entered which would provide that no additional wells may be drilled for production of oil or gas in the "J" sand reservoir underlying the Little Beaver Field until after July 21, 1964. All operators present consented to this Motion.

FINDINGS

The Commission finds as follows:

1.      That 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 Applicant states that much progress has been made in the effort to work out unitization of the gas cap area of the Little Beaver Field "J" Sand reservoir, and that agreement on many things necessary to unitization has been reached and a second draft of a unitization agreement is in the process of preparation; and that Applicant believes that unitization of at least a substantial part of the gas cap area will be accomplished, but that additional time is necessary for the further drafting and completion of the final form of unitization agreement, circulation of the same to the working interest owners and royalty owners, and execution and recording.
