REPORT OF THE COMMISSION

 

This cause came on for hearing before the Commission on February 16, 1979 at 9 a.m., in Room 110, State Centennial Building, Denver, Colorado, after giving Notice of Hearing as required by law, on the Commission's own motion to consider the rescinding of Order Nos. 48-1, 48-2, 48-3 and 48-4 for the Frasco Field, Logan County, Colorado.

FINDINGS

The Commission finds as follows:

 

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

 

2.      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.

         On November 23, 1954, the Commission issued Order No. 48-1 which established 40-acre drilling and spacing units for the production of oil and gas from the "J" Sand underlying lands in the Frasco Field.  Subsequent Order Nos. 48-2, 48-3, and 48-4 granted exceptions to the spacing pattern and deleted certain lands from the spaced area which presently consists of the following described lands in Logan County, Colorado, to-wit:

 

Township 7 North, Range 55 West, 6th P.M.

Section 3:

W½SW¼

Section 4:

W½, SE¼, W½NE¼

Section 9:

N½N½

 

 

Township 8 North, Range 55 West, 6th P.M.

Section 33:

S½SW¼, SW¼SE¼

 

4.      Since all wells producing from the "J" Sand in the area described herein are now plugged and abandoned, except for two (2) marginal producing wells, and in order to promote future development, Order Nos. 48-1, 48-2, 48-3 and 48-4 are no longer necessary and should be vacated and the area described in Finding 3 herein, should be governed by the general rules and regulations of the Commission.

 

ORDER

 

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED, that Order Nos. 48-1, 48-2, 48-3 and 48-4 for the Frasco Field, Logan County, Colorado, are hereby rescinded and operations in the area as described in Finding 3 herein, shall be governed by the general rule and regulations of the Commission.

 

ORDERED this 16th day of February, 1979.
