REPORT OF THE COMMISSION

 

This cause came on for hearing before the Oil and Gas Conservation Commission of the State of Colorado, at 10:00 AM., January 6, 1955, in the Colorado Room of the Shirley-Savoy Hotel, Denver, Colorado, pursuant to Notice of Hearing, upon application of the California Company to modify the Commission’s Order No. 2-13, heretofore entered in the above-entitled matter, so as to convert and use its Fee #4 well and Gray "B" #17 well as additional injection wells in

 

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 Rule 3(a) of Order No. 2-13 should be amended to permit all gas available for injection under the terms of Rule 3b of Order No. 2-8 produced from or attributable to that part of the Calco Fee lands located west of the line A-A' shown on Exhibit One of Order No. 2-13, a copy of which is attached hereto, and the Gray "A" Lease, Gray "B" Lease, the Neal Lease, the Raven "A" Lease and the Raven "B" Lease, to be injected by the California Company into the Fee #65 well and the Fee #4 well; and that the gas should be divided into the Fee #65 well and the Fee #4 well as good operating practices may from time to time require,

 

4.      That the Gray "B" #17 well offsets a one-well lease, namely, the McLaughlin Unit "B" lease, and that the McLaughlin Unit "B" Lease may be unduly flooded or gassed out if such Gray "B" #17 well is used as an injection well; and in order to protect the correlative rights of the parties hereto, it is not necessary in this case to select for the injection of gas, a well which offsets such a one-well lease.

 

ORDER

 

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that Rule 3(a) of Order 2-13, be amended to read as follows:   (Effective January 6, 1955).

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, that the application of the California Company for the Commission to modify its Order No. 2-13, Rule 3(a), so as to permit the use of the Gray "B" #17 well as an additional injection well, is hereby denied.
