REPORT OF THE COMMISSION

TO ALL INTERESTED PERSONS AND TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

This cause came on for hearing before the Commission on April 20, 1987 at 9:00 A.M. in Room 110, State Centennial Building, 1313 Sherman Street, Denver, Colorado, after giving Notice of Hearing, as required by law, on the verified application of Barrett Energy Company for an order deleting the following described lands from the spaced area of the Parachute Field as established by Order No. 440-1:

Township 6 South, Range 95 West, 6th P.M. Sections 26, 27, 28 & 31: All Section 31: N/2 Section 33: N/2

FINDINGS

The Commission finds as follows:

1. Barrett Energy Company as applicant herein, is an interested party in the subject matter of the above-referenced hearing.

2. Due notice of the time, place and purpose of the hearing has been given in all respects as required by law.

3. The Commission has jurisdiction over the subject matter embraced in the notice of the aforesaid hearing, and of the parties interested therein, as well as jurisdiction to promulgate the hereinafter prescribed order.

4. On December 16, 1985, the Commission authorized Order No. 440-1 to be issued by which 160 acre drilling and spacing units were established for the production of gas and associated hydrocarbons from the Wasatch formation underlying certain lands in Garfield County Colorado. On January 16, 1987 Order Nos. 440-2 through 440-8 were issued by which the Commission pooled all interests in seven (7) 160 acre drilling and spacing units in which the Department of Energy has interest.

5. Testimony at the time of hearing was insufficient to indicate that the area described herein above is not part of the common source of supply of hydrocarbons in the Parachute Field reservoir and the application should therefore be denied and said area remain in the spaced area of the Parachute Field as established by Order No. 440-1.

6. Barrett Energy Company and the Department of Energy both agreed that Order Nos. 440-2 through 440-8, which pooled all interests in seven (7) drilling and spacing units, were no longer necessary and it was requested that said orders should be rescinded.

ORDER

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the application of Barrett Energy Company requesting the deletion of the lands described herein above from the spaced area of the Parachute Field, Garfield County, Colorado as established by Order No. 440-1 is hereby denied.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Order Nos. 440-2 through 440-8 are hereby rescinded.

ENTERED this 13th day of May 1987, as of April 20, 1987.
