COLORADO
APPLICATION
COMES NOW Great Western Operating Company, LLC (Operator No. 10110)
("GW' or "Applicant"), by and through its attorneys, Jost & Shelton Energy Group, P.C.,
and makes this application to the Oil and Gas Conservation Commission of the State of
Colorado ("Commission") for an order to 1) amend Order No. 407-741 to authorize no
more than one (1) horizontal well within the approximate 640-acre drilling and spacing
unit established by such order, for the development and operation of the Codell-
Niobrara Formation, 2) establish an approximate 1,280-acre drilling and spacing unit, 3)
authorize up to twenty-one (21) horizontal wells in order to efficiently and economically
recover the oil, gas and associated hydrocarbons within said 1,280-acre drilling and
spacing unit from the Codell-Niobrara Formation underlying the below-described lands,
4) provide that the treated interval of the horizontal wellbores shall be no closer than
460 feet from the unit boundaries, without exception being granted by the Director, 5)
provide that the treated interval of any horizontal wellbore permitted to a specific
formation shall be no closer than 150 feet to the treated interval of any other horizontal
wellbore in the unit that is permitted to the same formation, without exception being
granted by the Director. In support of its Application, Applicant states and alleges as
follows:
1. Applicant is a corporation duly authorized to conduct business in the State
of Colorado, and is a registered operator in good standing with the Commission.
2. Applicant owns leasehold interests or holds the right to operate on the
following lands:
Township 6 North, Range 67 Westt_6th P.M.
Section 15: All
Section 16: All
1,280 acres, more or less, Weld County, Colorado.
(hereinafter"Application Lands")
A reference map of the Application Lands is attached hereto.
1
3. 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
and wellbore spacing units to be established. On August 8, 2011, Rule 318A was again
amended to, among other things, address the drilling of horizontal wells.
4. On February 19, 1992, the Commission entered Order No. 407-87
(amended August 20, 1993) which, among other things, established 80-acre drilling and
spacing units for the production of oil, gas and associated hydrocarbons from the
Codell-Niobrara Formation underlying certain lands, including the Application Lands,
with the permitted well locations in accordance with the provisions of Order No. 407-1.
5. On January 7, 2013, the Commission entered Order No. 407-741, which
1) vacated the approximate 80-acre drilling and spacing units established by Order No.
407-87 for Section 16 of the Application Lands 2) established an approximate 640-acre
drilling and spacing unit consisting of Section 16 of the Application Lands, and 3)
approved up to seven (7) horizontal wells within each unit, for the development and
operation of the Codell-Niobrara Formation, with the treated interval of the horizontal
wellbores to be no closer than 460 feet from the unit boundaries, and no closer than 150
feet from the treated interval of any other wellbore located in the unit, without exception
being granted by the Director. Applicant is requesting in this Application that the
approximate 640-acre drilling and spacing unit established by Order No. 407-741
remain in place. Thus, the proposed approximate 1,280-acre drilling and spacing unit
will overlap the existing approximate 640-acre drilling and spacing unit. Proceeds of
production from the single well permitted to the existing approximate 640-acre drilling
and spacing unit (DeTienne FD 16-022HC Well, API No. 05-123-39630) will continue to
be allocated on the basis of the existing unit. Applicant is requesting in this Application
that Order No. 407-741 be amended to allow only a single horizontal well within the unit
for the development and operation of the Codell-Niobrara Formation.
6. On July 29, 2013, the Commission entered Order No. 407-848, which
pooled all interests in the approximate 640-acre drilling and spacing unit established by
Order No. 407-741 for Section 16, Township 6 North, Range 67 West, 6th P.M., for the
development and operation of the Codell-Niobrara Formation.
7. On June 17, 2014, the Commission entered Order No. 407-1027, which
pooled all interests in two approximate 640-acre designated wellbore spacing units,
both of which cover the N'/N'/2 of Section 16 of the Application Lands, and other lands,
for the development and operation of the Codell and/or Niobrara Formations.
8. On September 15, 2014, the Commission entered Order No. 407-1107,
which applied the cost recovery provisions of C.R.S. § 34-60-116(7) to any non-
consenting owners within the approximate 640-acre drilling and spacing unit established
2
by Order No. 407-741 for Section 16, Township 6 North, Range 67 West, 6th P.M. for
the DeTienne FD 16-022HC Well (API No. 05-123-39630).
9. The Application Lands are the subject of an application pending before the
Commission, filed concurrently herewith, and set for hearing at the Commission's
March, 2015 hearing, to pool the proposed approximate 1,280-acre drilling and spacing
unit composed of the Application Lands and apply the cost recovery provisions C.R.S. §
34-60-116 (6) and (7) to the wells to be drilled and completed in the unit, effective as of
the earlier of the date of such pooling application, or the date that the costs specified in
C.R.S. § 34-60-116(7)(b) are first incurred for the drilling of any well to the Codell or
Niobrara Formation in the Application Lands.
10. The records of the Commission reflect that ten (10) wells are currently
producing in the Application Lands, as listed below. Applicant maintains and confirms
that each of these wells shall remain subject to currently applicable COGCC-approved
spacing units and shall not become subject to the proposed approximate 1,280-acre
drilling and spacing unit herein. Proceeds from such wells will continue to be allocated
in accordance with their current allocation.

11. To promote efficient drainage within the Codell-Niobrara Formation of the
Application Lands, to protect correlative rights and to avoid waste, the Commission
should establish an approximate 1,280-acre drilling and spacing unit for horizontal well
development on the Application Lands, and should amend Order No. 407-741 to
authorize no more than one (1) horizontal well within the approximate 640-acre drilling
and spacing unit established by such order, for the development and operation of the
Codell-Niobrara Formation.
12. That the above-proposed drilling and spacing unit will allow efficient
drainage of the Codell-Niobrara Formation; will prevent waste; will not adversely affect
correlative rights and will assure the greatest ultimate recovery of gas and associated
hydrocarbon substances from the reservoirs. The unit of the size and shape specified
above is not smaller than the maximum area that can be economically and efficiently
drained by the proposed wells in the unit.
3
13. That the Applicant is requesting to drill and complete up to twenty-one (21)
horizontal wells in order to efficiently and economically recover the oil, gas and
associated hydrocarbons from the Codell-Niobrara Formation within the 1,280-acre
drilling and spacing unit composed of the Application Lands and that there will be no
adverse effect on correlative rights of adjacent owners.
14. The Applicant maintains that there will be no more than eight (8) new well
pads in the unit, unless an exception is granted by the Director.
15. The treated interval of each proposed horizontal well shall be no closer
than 460 feet from the unit boundaries (regardless of the lease lines within the unit),
without exception being granted by the Director, and the treated interval of any
horizontal wellbore permitted to a specific formation shall be no closer than 150 feet to
the treated interval of any other horizontal wellbore in the unit that is permitted to the
same formation, without exception being granted by the Director.
16. That establishment of the 1,280-acre drilling and spacing unit composed
of the Application Lands shall not preclude designation of overlapping wellbore spacing
units and/or overlapping horizontal wellbore spacing units pursuant to Commission Rule
318A.
17. The undersigned certifies that copies of this Application will be served on
each interested party within seven (7) days of the filing hereof, as required by Rule
503.e.
WHEREFORE, Applicant respectfully requests that this matter be set for hearing
at the Commission's March, 2015 hearing, that notice be given as required by law, and
that upon such hearing this Commission enter its order:
A. Amending Order No. 407-741 to authorize no more than one (1) horizontal
well within the approximate 640-acre drilling and spacing unit established by such order,
for the development and operation of the Codell-Niobrara Formation.
B. Establishing an approximate 1,280-acre drilling and spacing unit for
horizontal development on the Application Lands and allowing up to twenty-one (21)
horizontal wells in the unit in order to efficiently and economically develop and recover
the oil, gas and associated hydrocarbons from each of the Codell-Niobrara Formation in
the unit.
C. Providing that the treated interval of each proposed horizontal well shall
be no closer than 460 feet from the unit boundaries (regardless of the lease lines within
the unit), without exception being granted by the Director, and the treated interval of any
horizontal wellbore permitted to a specific formation shall be no closer than 150 feet to
the treated interval of any other horizontal wellbore in the unit that is permitted to the
same formation and authorizing eight (8) new multi-well pads in the unit, unless an
exception is granted by the Director, without exception being granted by the Director.
4
D. Finding that an approximate 1,280-acre drilling and spacing unit for the
development of the Codell-Niobrara Formation on the Application Lands will prevent
waste, protect correlative rights, and maximize the efficient and economic production of
the Codell-Niobrara Formation on the Application Lands.
E. For such other findings and orders as the Commission may deem proper
or advisable in this matter.
WHEREFORE, Applicant respectfully requests that this matter be set for
hearing in March 2015, that notice be given as required by law, and that upon such
hearing, the Commission enter its order consistent with Applicant's request as set forth
above.

wellbores to be no closer than 460 feet from the unit boundaries, and no closer than 150
feet from the treated interval of any other wellbore located in the unit, without exception
being granted by the Director.
6. On July 29, 2013, the Commission entered Order No. 407-848, which
pooled all interests in the approximate 640-acre drilling and spacing unit established by
Order No. 407-741 for Section 16, Township 6 North, Range 67 West, 6th P.M., for the

one (21) horizontal wells in order to efficiently and economically recover the oil, gas and
associated hydrocarbons within said 1,280-acre drilling and spacing unit from the
Codell-Niobrara Formation.
10. Applicant, pursuant to Commission Rule 530 and/or the provisions of C.R.S.
§ 34-60-116 (6) and (7), hereby requests an order to pool all interests within the drilling
and spacing unit, including but not limited to, any non-consenting interests and leased

Niobrara Formation in the Application Lands.
12. Applicant certifies that copies of this Application will be served on all
persons owning an interest in the mineral estate of the tracts to be pooled, including

Codell-Niobrara Formation, including any non-consenting interests therein.
WHEREFORE, Applicant requests that this matter be set for hearing at the next
available opportunity, that notice be given as required by law, and that upon such
hearing, the Commission enter its order:
A. Pooling all interests in an approximate 1,280-acre drilling and spacing unit
established for the Application Lands for the development of the Codell-Niobrara
Formation.
B. Providing that the Commission's pooling order is made effective as of the
earlier of the date of this Application, or the date that any of the costs specified in C.R.S. §
34-60-116(7)(b) are first incurred for the drilling of any well to the Codell-Niobrara
Formation in the Application Lands.
C. Providing that the interests of any owners with whom the Applicant has been
unable to secure a lease or other agreement to participate in the drilling of the well(s) are
pooled by operation of statute, pursuant to C.R.S. § 34-60-116(6) and (7), and made
subject to the cost recovery provisions thereof with respect to the well(s) drilled to develop
the Codell-Niobrara Formation in the drilling and spacing unit composing the Application
Lands.
D. For such other findings and orders as the Commission may deem proper
or advisable in this matter.
