TO
ALL INTERESTED PARTIES AND TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
On June 15, 1988, the Commission
issued Order No. 112-60 which established 320-acre drilling and spacing units
for the production of gas and associated hydrocarbons from the Fruitland coal
seams, underlying certain lands in the Ignacio-Blanco Field, with the units to
consist of a governmental half section and the permitted well when South of the
Ute Line to be located in the NE¼ and the SW¼ of each section and when North of
the Ute Line to be located in the NW¼ and SE¼ of each section, no closer than
990 feet from the boundaries of the quarter section, nor closer than 130 feet
to any interior quarter section line.
Order No. 112-61 was subsequently adopted amending Order No. 112-60 to
establish additional field rules for the Fruitland coal seams. The E½ of Section 9, Township 34 North, Range
9 West, N.M.P.M. is subject to these orders.
On December 23, 2002, Richard and
Theresa Watson filed an application with
the Commission for an order pooling their
mineral interests in four (4) acres within the 320-acre drilling and spacing
unit consisting of the E½ of Section 9, Township 34 North, Range 9 West,
N.M.P.M., for the University #9-1 Well effective as of the date of completion. The Applicants seek the pooling order against
EnerVest San Juan Operating, LLC. (“EnerVest”) because EnerVest purchased the University
#9-1 Well from Emerald Gas Operating Company, who purchased the Well from
Bowen/Edwards Associates, Inc., who originally drilled the well. The Well was operated by Texaco E & P
Inc. subsequent to EnerVest and is currently operated by Chevron
