RE : Division Order for the Dacono 1 , 2 , and 3 Wells
Dear Mr. Barker:
Pursuant to your letter dated April 21 , 2000, enclosed please find a copy of an Oil , Gas
and Mineral Lease covering your interest. The Dacono wells are directional wells that
have the wellhead in Section 1 of T1N-R68W but the bottom hole, or where the minerals
are being drained from, are in Section 6 of T 1 N-R67W. It appears that the original
acreage on the lease was later determined to be incorrect. The lease has the acreage as
25 . 13 acres, and it was later determined to be 15 . 28926 acres . The royalty interest is
calculated using the following formula:
acres owned / acres in the unit x royalty from lease = royalty interest in well
15 .28926 ac / 151 . 17 ac x 12 . 5 % = 0 . 01264250 RI
If you have any questions or need additional information, please do not hesitate to give us
a call .
Very Truly Yours,
60-tyzit
Carrie Eggleston
Division Order Analyst

Re: Division Order for Dacono 1, 2, and 3 Wells
Dear Ms. Eggleston:
Enclosed is a copy of an Oil and Gas Division Order recently received by the Board of County
Commissioners of Weld County and concerning the Dacono 1, 2, and 3 wells. We are uncertain
how Bataa Oil calculated the royalty interest. We are also wondering to which lease this division
order pertains. I therefore respectfully request that you provide me with this information. I may
be reached by mail at the above address or by telephone at(970) 356-4000, ext. 4390.
Sincerely,
Bruce T. Barker

Dear Interest Owner(s):
Effective February 1, 2000 Bataa Oil, Inc. Bataa' will assume the responsibility
of distiibu`-ng the oil revenues for all Bataa operated wells that have been paid
by TEPPCO Crude Oil, LLC"TEPPCO".
There will be an initial delay of approximately twenty (20) days from the date
that you would normally receive your check from TEPPCO. This delay allows
for the transition and for our accounting department to set up and process the
revenues. Therefore, your March check should be received by Apri115th and
then around the 15th for each month thereafter. We apologize for any
inconvenience that this may cause you.
Enclosed please find two (2) copies of an Oil Division Order. Please execute both
copies. Return one copy to Bataa in the enclosed sell-addressed envelope and
keep one copy for your records. Additional instructions are enclosed for your
reference. After Bataa has received a properly executed Oil Division Order we
will place your interest in line for payment. There will be a grace period until
May 1, 2000,where we will not place any interest in suspense to allow for the
transition and the vii Division Orders to be returned. After May 1,2000, any
interest owner(s) that have not executed and returned a Oil Division Order will
be placed in suspense until we receive an executed copy.
If you have any questions concerning this change, please feel free to give us a call
at 970-336-1000.
Very truly yours,
Carrie Eggleston
Division Order Analyst
