FINDINGS

The Commission finds as follows:

1.      That due notice of the time, place, and purpose of the hearing in this matter was given in all respects as required by law.

2.      That the Commission has jurisdiction over the subject matter embraced in said Notice, and of the parties interested therein, and jurisdiction to promulgate the following prescribed order.

3.      That on August 11, 1953, after proper notice and hearing, the Commission entered its Order No. 2-13 in the above entitled matter, to become effective September 15, 1953, and thereafter amended the same on October 16, 1953, by its Order No. 2-14, and thereafter amended the same on November 3, 1953, by its Order No. 2-15, and thereafter, on January 7, 1954, amended the same by its Order No. 2-16.

4.      That there is an imbalance in the injection of gas, under its Order No. 2-16, into U.P. 34-31 well and U.P. 57-21 well, of the gas available for injection produced from or attributable to all Texas-Union Pacific fee lands located in Sections 16, 17, 20, 21, 22, 28, 29, 31 and 32, Township 2 North, Range 102 West of the 6th P.M.; and Section 5, Township 1 North, Range 102 West of the 6th P.M.; and that said imbalance should be corrected by the injection wells herein provided within a period of Six (6) months from the effective date of this Order.

5.      That Rule 3(h) of Order No. 2-13, as amended by Order No. 2-16, should be amended to permit all gas available for injection attributed to all Texas-Union Pacific fee lands located in Sections 16, 17, 20, 21, 22, 28, 29, 31 and 32, Township 2 North, Range 102 West of the 6th P.M.; and Section 5, Township 1 North, Range 102 West of the 6th P.M., to be injected by The Texas Company into U.P. 57-21 well, U.P. 56-21 well, U.P. 34-31 well, and U.P. 67-32 well, the gas to be divided as nearly equally as possible between (a) U.P. 57-21 and U.P. 56-21; and (b) U.P. 34-31 and U.P. 67-32 wells. The gas injected should be divided between wells U.P. 57-21 and U.P. 56-21, as good operating practices may from time to time require. Similarly, the gas injected should be divided between wells U.P. 34-31 and UP.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, that the imbalance created by the unequal injection of gas into U.P. 34-31 well and U.P. 57-21 well since the effective date of Order No. 2-13 (September 15, 1953), shall be corrected within a period of Six (6) months from the effective date of this Order, by the injection of gas, as provided in Rule 3(h) hereof, and a tolerance or deviation from the provisions of Rule 3(h) shall be permitted for the purpose of correcting such imbalance,
