FINDINGS

The Commission finds as follows:

1. HS Resources, Inc. 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 said Notice, and of the parties interested therein, and jurisdiction to promulgate the hereinafter prescribed order.

4. In Order No. 407-1, the Commission established 80-acre drilling and spacing units for the production of oil and/or gas and associated hydrocarbons from the Codell Formation. Wells shall be located in the center of the 40-acre tract or quarter-quarter section with a tolerance of 200 feet in any direction. In Order Nos. 407-10 and 407-13, the Commission amended Order No. 407-1 to include production from the Niobrara Formation for certain lands and to allow the downhole commingling of production from the Codell and Niobrara Formations, including Section 29, Township 4 North, Range 65 West, 6th P.M.

5. Order No. 493-2 established 80-acre drilling and spacing units for production from the Sussex Formation, with the permitted wells to be located in accordance with those locations established in Cause No. 407 and allowing the downhole commingling of production from the Codell, Niobrara, and Sussex Formations.

6. This matter was heard by the Hearing Officer who recommends approval based upon the geological testimony presented at the administrative hearing stating that various fault blocks appear to segregate production in the area, and that recompletion is necessary to recover remaining reserves in the Codell, Niobrara and Sussex Formations.

7. An order of the Commission should be entered allowing the Maya No. 4-29 Well to be recompleted in the NW1/4 NW1/4 of Section 29, Township 4 North, Range 65 West, 6th P.M., for production from the Codell and Niobrara Formations, for the 80-acre drilling and spacing unit consisting of the N1/2 NW1/4 of Section 29, and commingled with production from the Sussex Formation, for the 160-acre drilling and spacing unit consisting of the NW1/4 of Section 29.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, that the Commission expressly reserves its right, after notice and hearing, to alter, amend or repeal any and/or all of the above orders.
