Section 36: NE% Weld County, Colorado ("Application Lands"). In support thereof, Applicant states and alleges as follows: 1. Applicant is a limited liability company duly authorized to conduct business in the State of Colorado, and is a registered operator in good standing with the Commission. 2. Applicant holds substantial leasehold interests in the Application Lands. A reference map of the Application Lands is attached hereto. 3. On February 18, 1985, the Commission Issued Order No. 381-5, which among other things, approved an optional additional well to be drilled in the undrilled 40 -acre tract of the established 80 -acre drilling and spacing units for certain lands, including the Application Lands, for the production of oil and associated hydrocarbons from the Codell and Niobrara Formations. 4. On April 27, 1998, the Commission adopted Rule 318A, which, among other things, allowed certain drilling locations to be utilized to drill or twin a well, deepen a well or recomplete a well and to commingle any or all of the Cretaceous Age Formations from the base of the Dakota Formation to the surface. On December 5, 2005, Rule 318A was amended to allow interior infill and boundary wells to be drilled C0714in ((M h=tJ 1 2/-t3 314 2013-0230 LE -03f4{ and drilling and spacing units to be established. The Application Lands are subject to Rule 318A for the Codell and Niobrara Formation. 5. Applicant requests that it be authorized to drill and complete up to five vertical and/or directional wells in the 160 -acre drilling and spacing unit comprised of the Application Lands with the treated interval of the wells located no closer than 460' from the boundaries of the drilling and spacing unit, and no closer than 150' from an adjoining wellbore in the unit. 5. Applicant requests that it be authorized to locate surface facilities for the proposed wells anywhere within the drilling and spacing unit regardless of the Rule 318A drilling windows. 7. Applicant asserts that establishing an approximate 160 -acre drilling and spacing unit for the Application Lands will allow for economic and efficient drainage of the Codell and Niobrara Formations; will prevent waste; will not adversely affect correlative rights and will assure the greatest ultimate recovery of oil and associated hydrocarbon substances from said Formations. A 160 -acre drilling and spacing unit is not smaller than the maximum area that can be economically and efficiently drained by the proposed wells in the Codell and Niobrara Formations within such unit. 8. That the names and addresses of the interested parties according to the information and belief of the Applicant are set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto and made a part hereof, and the undersigned certifies that copies of this Application shall be served on each interested party within the next seven days as required by Rule 503.e. WHEREFORE, Applicant respectfully requests that this matter be set for hearing, that notice be given as required by law and that upon such hearing this Commission enter its order: A. Vacating the 80 -acre drilling and spacing units established in Order No. 381- 5 with respect to the Application Lands and establishing an approximate 160 -acre drilling and spacing unit for the Codell and Niobrara Formations and allowing up to five vertical and/or directional wells in the established unit. B. Establishing that the treated interval of the wellbore may be no closer than 460 feet from the boundaries of the drilling and spacing unit, and no closer than 150' from the treated interval of another well in the unit. C. Applicant requests that it be authorized to locate surface facilities for the proposed wells anywhere within the drilling and spacing unit. D. Finding that an approximate 160 -acre drilling and spacing unit will prevent waste, protect correlative rights, and will maximize the efficient and economic production of the Codell and Niobrara Formations on the Application Lands; and E. Granting any other relief as may be appropriate. Dated this LS day of December, 2012. Respectfully submitted, HRM RESOURCES,LLC By: Applicant's Address: HRM Resources LLC. c/o L.
