REPORT OF THE COMMISSION

This cause came on for hearing before the Commission on October 11, 1954, at 10:00 A.M., in the Colorado Room of the Shirley Savoy Hotel, 17th Avenue and Broadway, Denver, Colorado, after publication of Notice of Hearing as required by The British-American Oil Producing Company, for an order from the Commission to dually complete its "G" No. 1 Green well, located in the Mt. Hope-East Field, Logan County, Colorado, and to commingle the production therefrom in the well bore.

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 the Applicant is the owner of an oil and gas lease which covers, among other lands, the NE/4 of the SW/4 of Section 29, Township 9 North, Range 53 West of the 6th P.M., Logan County, Colorado, and that it has drilled its "G" No. 1 Green well in the center of said 40-acre tract, and that said well is now producing from the "J" sand formation.

4.      That, in the drilling of said well, the producing interval in the "D" sand formation was encountered at a depth of 4832 feet, and the "J" sand formation was encountered at a depth of 4928 feet; and that said well is now producing from the "J" sand formation through casing perforations at a depth of 4952 to 4966 feet; and that said well is now capable of producing from the "D" sand formation and from the "J" sand formation; and that the quantities of such production will not justify the drilling of an additional well.

5.      That all available geological and engineering data concerning the said "G" No. 1 Green well indicate that said well can be dually completed by perforating the casing opposite the "D" sand formation between the approximate depths of 4832 feet and 4848 feet, and to permit the oil from the "D" sand formation and the oil from the "J" sand formation to be commingled in the well bore, and to be produced simultaneously.

6.      That the granting of Petitioner's application, and the completion and production of said well in the manner hereinabove described will not result in waste, and that no damage will result to either formation because of such dual completion and commingling.
