In accordance with the laws of the State of Louisiana, and with particular reference to the provisions of Title 30 of Louisiana Revised Statutes of 1950, a public hearing will be held in the Hearing Room, 1st Floor, LaSalle Building, 617 North 3rd Street, Baton Rouge, Louisiana, at 9:00 a.m. on TUESDAY, OCTOBER 21, 2025, upon the application of EXPAND OPERATING LLC. At such hearing the Commissioner of Conservation will consider evidence relative to the issuance of Orders pertaining to the following matters relating to the Cotton Valley Formation, Reservoir B and Haynesville Zone, Reservoir A, in the Woodardville Field, Red River Parish, Louisiana. 1. To permit the applicant to drill, designate and utilize seven cross unit horizontal wells as alternate unit wells as follows: three for HA RA SUI and CV RB SUWW (in lieu of three undrilled cross unit wells approved in Office of Conservation Order No. 990-B-184 and 990-D-128, both effective October 27, 2020); and four for HA RA SUI, CV RB SUWW and HA RA SU74, at the locations and in the general manner shown on the plat submitted with the application, and made a part hereof, in exception to the spacing provisions of the 990-B and 990-D Series of Orders, and to provide that no portion of the perforated length of lateral in the seven proposed cross unit wells should be located closer than: (a) 330’ to any west or east unit boundary; (b) 100’ to any north or south unit boundary, except for the common unit boundaries between said units; and (c) 200’ to any well in a competitive unit completed in, drilling to, or for which a permit has been granted to drill to the Cotton Valley Formation, Reservoir B and Haynesville Zone, Reservoir A. 2. To find that the proposed wells are necessary to efficiently and economically drain a portion of the reservoirs covered by each unit which cannot be so drained by any existing well within such units. 3. To permit the operator to produce the unit allowable for each unit from the respective unit wells and/or the alternate unit wells, in any combination, at its discretion. 4. To find that unit production from said cross unit horizontal alternate unit wells shall be allocated to each unit in the same proportion as the perforated length of the lateral in each unit bears to the total length of the perforated lateral as determined by an “as drilled” survey performed after the cross unit horizontal well is drilled and completed, provided that unit production shall continue to be shared on a surface acre basis. 5. To provide that production from each cross unit horizontal alternate unit well shall be separated and metered individually and this information shall be reported in the manner prescribed by the Office of Conservation. 6. To find that, with respect to wells drilled to the Cotton Valley Formation, Reservoir B, within or to serve CV RB SUWW, and the Haynesville Zone, Reservoir A, within or to serve HA RA SUI and HA RA SU74, where the horizontal portion of the well is cased and cemented back above the top of the Cotton Valley Formation, Reservoir B, and the Haynesville Zone, Reservoir A, the distance to any unit boundary and offset wells(s) should be calculated based on the distance to the nearest perforation in the well, and not based on the penetration point or terminus. 7. Except insofar as set forth above, to confirm and continue in effect the provisions of the 990-B and 990-D Series of Orders, the units created thereby and applicable Statewide Orders. 8. To consider such other matters as may be pertinent. The Cotton Valley Formation, Reservoir B was defined in Order No. 990-B, effective September 13, 2005, and was redefined as to CV RB SUWW, in Order No. 990-B-57, effective January 8, 2008. The Haynesville Zone, Reservoir A was defined in Order No. 990-D, effective July 15, 2008. A plat is available for inspection in the Office of Conservation in Baton Rouge and Shreveport, Louisiana. http://dnr.louisiana.gov/conshearings All parties having interest therein shall take notice thereof.
