Re: Elvado #1 N-11-27N-1E Elvado #2 I-11-27N-1E

Dear Mr. Dawsey:

A recent f i e l d inspection reveals that the referenced wells have been dr i l l e d . You have not f i l e d spud notices and sundry reports on casing and cementing operations, in violation of Rule 1103.

The inspection also revealed that you d r i l l e d the well3 without adequate pits and mud apparently ran down h i l l s i d e unchecked during d r i l l i n g operations, in violation of Rule 105. You also have an unreported o i l s p i l l at the Elvado **1, in violation of Rule 116.

You are hereby directed to suspend a l l d r i l l i n g , completion and production operations until delinquent reports have been f i l e d , o i l and mud s p i l l s have been cleaned up, and until further notice from this office. Failure to comply w i l l result in a case being called for A.L. Dawsey and a l l other interested parties to appear and show cause why the Elvado 111 and the Elvado #2, should not be plugged and abandoned in accordance with Division approved plugging programs and possible fines. We also require copies of any logs and temperature surveys.

If you have any questions, you may call me at 505-334-6178.
