                        5.  Engineering evidence presented at the administrative hearing indicated that the existing well in the NE¼ SE¼ of said Section 33 will not drain hydrocarbons from the entire drilling and spacing unit, and an additional well is necessary in order to recover all the hydrocarbons in the Mississippian Formation underlying the 80-acre drilling and spacing unit consisting of the E½ NE¼ of said Section 33.

                        6.  That in order to protect correlative rights and prevent waste, the Champlin-Aldrich "A" No. 5 Well should be authorized to be drilled as an additional well 1,000 feet FSL and 880 feet FEL in the SE¼ SE¼ of said Section 33 for the 80-acre drilling and spacing unit consisting of the E½ SE¼ of said Section 33 for production from the Mississippian Formation.

                        7.  Based on the facts stated in the verified application and having been heard by the Hearing Officer who recommends approval of the application, and having received no protests, the Commission should approve the request and amend Order No. 212-1 to allow an additional well to be drilled and completed for production from the Mississippian Formation.

                        NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that Order No. 212-1 is hereby amended and the Champlin-Aldrich "A" No. 5 Well is authorized to be drilled as an additional well at a location 1,000 feet FSL and 880 feet FEL in the SE¼ SE¼ of Section 33, Township 13 South, Range 44 West, 6th P.M., with a tolerance of 150 feet in any direction for surface hazards, for production from the Mississippian Formation, for the 80-acre drilling and spacing unit consisting of the E½ SE¼ of said Section 33.
