REPORT OF THE COMMISSION

 

            Pursuant to a hearing before the Oil and Gas Conservation Commission on August 5, 1997, in Suite 801, The Chancery Building, 1120 Lincoln Street, Denver, Colorado,  the Oil and Gas Conservation Commission promulgated amendments to its Rules and Regulations to amend Rule No. 322., Commingling of Production from Multiple Formations and/or Wells, as shown below.

 

322.      COMMINGLING

 

            The commingling of production from multiple formations or wells is encouraged in order to maximize the efficient use of wellbores and to minimize the surface disturbance from oil and gas operations.  Commingling may be conducted at the discretion of an operator, unless the Commission has issued an order or promulgated a rule excluding specific wells, geologic formations, geographic areas, or field from commingling in response to an application filed by a directly and adversely affected or aggrieved party or on the Commission’s own motion.

 

            This rule supercedes the procedural requirements to establish commingling and allocation contained in any Commission order as of the effective date of this rule, but does not supersede any allocation made under such order.

 

            Attached, as Exhibit A, is a statement giving the basis and purpose of the revisions and additions, and such statements are incorporated herein by reference.

 

                        DONE AND PERFORMED by the Oil and Gas Conservation Commission of the State of Colorado this      12th     day of    August    , 1997.
