At such hearing the Department of Conservation and Energy will consider evidence relative to the issuance of Orders pertaining to the following matters relating to the Haynesville Zone, Reservoir A, in the San Miguel Creek Field, Natchitoches Parish, Louisiana. 1. To permit Applicant to drill, designate and utilize one cross unit horizontal well to serve as an alternate unit well for HA RA SUM and HA RA SUZZ, with such well to be at the locations and in the general manner shown on the plat submitted with the application, in exception to the spacing provisions of the 1165-K Series of Office of Permitting and Compliance Orders, and in accordance with LAC 43:XIX.4307 et seq. (Statewide Order No. 29-S). 2. To specifically find that the proposed cross unit horizontal well for HA RA SUM and HA RA SUZZ is reasonable and in the interest of conservation and necessary to efficiently and economically drain portions of the Haynesville Zone, Reservoir A, underlying said units, which cannot be efficiently and economically drained by any existing well within such units, including portions of the participating units that are contained within 330’ of either side of the common unit boundary between said units. 3. To provide that with respect to horizontal wells drilled to the Haynesville Zone, Reservoir A, within or to serve HA RA SUM and HA RA SUZZ, where the horizontal portion of the well is cased and cemented back above the top of the Haynesville Zone, Reservoir A, the distance to any unit boundary and offset well(s) should be calculated based on the distance to the nearest perforation in the well and not based on the penetration point or terminus. 4. To confirm Applicant as the operator of HA RA SUZZ and the proposed cross unit horizontal well for HA RA SUZZ and HA RA SUM, with Aethon Energy Operating, LLC continuing as operator of the existing unit well for HA RA SUM, in exception to the single operator per unit policy of the Office of Permitting and Compliance. 5. To permit the operator(s) of HA RA SUZZ and HA RA SUM to produce the allowable for each unit from the respective unit well, any alternate unit well, or from any combination thereof, at its discretion. 6. To provide that unit production from the proposed cross unit horizontal well should be allocated to each unit in the same proportion as the perforated length of the lateral in each such unit bears to the total length of the perforated lateral, as determined by an “as-drilled” survey performed after such cross unit horizontal wells are drilled and completed. 7. To provide that the Applicant and Aethon Energy Operating, LLC should report production from the wells they operate on HA RA SUM individually and separately from one another, and production from the proposed cross unit horizontal well should be separated and metered individually, and this information should be reported in the manner prescribed by the Secretary of the Department of Conservation and Energy. 8. To continue in force and effect, except to the extent contrary herewith, the pertinent provisions of the Order No. 1165-K, effective October 28, 2008, as amended and supplemented by the 1165-K Series of Orders, and all applicable Statewide Orders. 9.
