P. 0,, Box 997 / V / / Hoswell, New Mexico / . • September 10, 19lt8 '

Lease Laa Cruees 029509(a)

Reference i s made to an application executed by you on August 3i» 19lj8» which has been f i led with the Oil Conservation Commission of New Mexioo, for permission to d r i l l an unorthodox well location i n seo. 21, T. 17 S . , R. 32 E . Maljamar pool, Lea County, New Mexico.

The land involved i n the application i s embraced in Federal o i l and gas lease Las Cruees 029509(a), now operated by Buffalo Oi l Qompany.

The unorthodox well location set forth i n the application i s 25 feet north and 25 feet west of iiie southeast corner SW|HTl£ section 21. The well w i l l be dr i l l ed to the Maljamar pay zone to produce o i l and gas from said zone. No encroachment of the outer boundaries of the leasehold i s involved as the proposed location is more than 330 feet from the lease boundaries. The wel l location i s on the same l+O-acre legal subdivision as well No. 8-A, originally completed as a producing o i l well but now used as a gas injection well under the Maljamar Cooperative Hepressuring Agreement. The application requests permission to produce froia the proposed well No. 20-A a dai ly allow­able for the ijO-aore proration unit upon which said well i s located, in accordance with the Allocation of Production Plan in effect and applicable to leases within the Maljamar Cooperative Repressuring Agreement,

No objection i s offered by this of f ice to the dr i l l ing of well No. 20-A at the unorthodox looation specified i n the application. I t i s the opinion of this office that the dr i l l ing of the additional well should be encouraged to afford opportunity for increased ultimate recovery of o i l and gas from the Maljamar pay zone.

Approval to d r i l l the additional wel l at the unorthodox looation w i l l be contingent upon approval of such location by the Oi l Conservation Commission of the State of New Mexico for proration purposes#

Very tru ly yours,

JOHN E. COCHRAN, Jr. ATTORNEY-AT-LAW

Re: Lease Las Cruees 029509(a)

Dear Mr. Cochran:

Reference i s made to your l e t t e r of A p r i l 19 transmitting a copy of an application executed by you as attorney for applicant, Buffalo O i l Company, which you are f i l i n g with the New Mexico Oil Conservation Comnission for permission to d r i l l Well No. Sl-A at an unorthodox location in Sec. 21, T. 17 S., R. 32 E., N.M.P.M., Maljamar Pool, New Mexico. The application also requests permission to plug hack and recomplete Well No. 15-A, located i n the NEf^lJ of said Sec. 21 to the Yates sand at an approximate depth of 2550 feet.

The land i n whieh the proposed well is to be d r i l l e d is embraced by Federal o i l and gas Lease Las Cruees 029509(a).

The unorthodox well location as described in the application i s approximately 25 feet from the common intersection of the boundaries of a 40-acre legal subdivision. No encroachment of the outer boundaries of the leasehold is involved as the proposed location is approximately 1345 feet from the lease boundary.

No objection i s offered by th i s office to the plugging back of Well No. 15-A to the Yates sand or to the d r i l l i n g of Well No. 21-A at the unorthodox location specified i n the application. I t i s the opinion of this office that the d r i l l i n g of such additional wells on the leasehold should be encouraged to increase the ultimate recovery of o i l and gas from the Maljamar Pool.

Approval to d r i l l the proposed well at the unorthodox location w i l l be contingent upon (1) the approval of such location by the O i l Conservation Commission of the State of New Mexico for proration purposes and (2) the f i l i n g of a stipulation i n t r i p l i c a t e , executed by the Buffalo Oil Company, wherein i t agrees to treat the 40-acre tracts surrounding the well as a single unit for purposes of assignment and that none of the 40-acre tracts involved w i l l be separately assigned u n t i l the well has been properly plugged and abandoned.

Very t r u l y yours,

R. E. CANS'!ELD, Acting Supervisor, Oil and Gas Operations,
