REPORT OF THE COMMISSION

This cause came on for hearing before the Commission on October 15, 1990 at 8:30 a.m. in Room 101, State Education Building, 201 East Colfax, Denver, Colorado after giving Notice of Hearing as required by law, on the Commission's own motion for operators and other interested parties to appear with information concerning production practices in the field for the Commission to consider any changes to Orders No. 451-19 and No. 451-20.

FINDINGS

The Commission finds as follows:

1. 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.

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

3. That on April 20, 1990, the Commission issued Order No. 451-20 which reiterated the previously established maximum monthly allowable for any one month, for wells completed with producing gas/oil ratios of 3,000 cubic feet of gas per barrel of oil or less, hereinafter referred to as "Oil Wells", shall be 450 barrels of oil or 13,500 MCF, whichever is produced first. There shall be no adjustment in this allowable for variation of the days in a month. A well shall be considered a "Gas Well" if it has a gas/oil ratio in excess of 3,000:1 cubic feet per barrel. The allowable for a Gas Well shall be 13,500 MCF per month. There shall be no maximum allowable for liquid production for Gas Wells. If, during the initial gas/oil ratio test, the well is determined to be an Oil Well in accordance with the above gas/oil ratio for production restriction purposes, the well shall remain an Oil Well, regardless of future increases in the gas/oil ratio of the well. These production restrictions shall remain in effect until October 15, 1990.

4. That the Commission further ordered that the operators and any other interested party in the Lilli Field shall appear at the October 15, 1990 hearing with information concerning production practices in the field for the Commission to consider any amendments or changes to this order as deemed necessary and to report on further efforts toward

The Commission directed that the production limits be removed, effective October 1, 1990.
