REPORT OF THE COMMISSION

This cause came on for hearing before the Commission on August 20, 1974, at 9 A.M., in Room 132, State Services Building, Denver, Colorado, after giving Notice of Hearing as required by law, on the application of Amoco Production Company for an order establishing 80-acre drilling and spacing units for the production of oil and associa-ted hydrocarbons from the "D" and "J" Sands underlying certain lands in Weld County, Colorado, and further to allow commingling of production from both "D" and "J" Sand reservoirs. In addition, the Commission, on its own motion, considered the rescinding of the provisions of Order No. 265-1.

FINDINGS

The Commission finds as follows:

1. That due notice of the time, place and purpose of the hearing has been 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 hereinafter prescribed order.

3. That evidence presented at the hearing was insufficient to support a find-ing that 80-acre drilling and spacing units should be established for the production of oil and associated hydrocarbons from the "D" and "J" Sands underlying the Tampa Field; in addition, there was insufficient evidence to indicate that commingling of production in the same well bore would not be injurious to the "D" or "J" Sand reservoirs; therefore, the application should be denied without prejudice.

4. That on April 17, 1973, the Commission by its Order No. 265-1, in order to prevent waste, limited the gas production to 100,000 cubic feet per day from each well in the Tampa Field that was capable of producing both oil and gas.

5. That, with the completion of a gas processing plant in the area, the restrictions placed on production from wells in the Tampa Field are no longer necessary and therefore, the provisions of Order No. 265-1 should be rescinded; provided that the gas so produced is either (1) marketed and sold to supply domestic, industrial, or muni-cipal needs; or (2) used for lease development or operations and fuel.

ORDER

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED, that the application of Amoco Pro-duction Company requesting 80-acre drilling and spacing units for the production of oil and associated hydrocarbons from the "D" and "J" Sands, and the commingling of said

foyer) production thereof, underlying certain lands in Weld County, Colorado, known as the Tam-Field, is hereby denied. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, that Order No. 265-1 for the Tampa Field, Weld County, Colorado, is hereby rescinded; provided however, that the gas so produced from said field is either (1) marketed and sold to supply domestic, industrial or municipal needs; or (2) used for lease development or operations and fuel.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, that the Commission expressly reserves its right, after notice and hearing, to alter, amend, or repeal any and/or all of the above rules and regulations.

ORDERED this 20th day of August, 1974.
