APP LICATION CAUSE CD NO. ) T ) REF) AG6N9NT FOR FAX FILED ON TLED / Rg~ ~ SEP COURT C4ERK'S OFFICE - TULSA CORPORATION COMMISSIO N O F OKLAHOM A 1. PARTIES : Applicant is Apache Corporation. Its address is Two Warren Place, Suite 1500, 6120 South Yale, Tulsa, Oklahoma It is the owner of oil and gas leasehold interests within Section 16, Township 6 No rt h, Range 9 West, Caddo County, Oklahoma. The parties being made respondents to this application are set out on the Exhibit "A" attached hereto. 2. ALLEGATION OF FACTS : (A) The Corporation Commission has heretofore, by Order No , established a 640 -acre drilling and spacing unit for the Sp ringer common source of supply underlying Section 16, Township 6 No rt h, Range 9 West, Caddo County, Oklahoma. (B) Well(s) in Section 16 currently produce(s) the Springer common source of supply. (C) Rule No. 165 : provides that increased density wells share one unit allowable with the initial unit well. The unit allowable is to be determined by the greater of a minimum allowable or a normal allowable based on wellhead absolute open flow of the best well in the unit. The normal allowable is derived from Rule No. 165 : which defines maximum permitted rates of production for unallocated gas wells. (D) The existing Springer wells in Section 16 are unallocated gas wells. The Applicant is proposing to drill two (2) additional wells into the Springer common source of supply underlying said Section 16. The Order to issue in a pending cause will authorize the drilling of such wells. Given the amount of gas capable of being produced by the existing Springer wells in said Section 16, and the expected wellhead absolute open flow potential for the proposed wells, the Applicant believes there will be insufficient allowable to justify the risk and expense of drilling such proposed wells.

2 SEPARATE ALLOWABLE - CAUSE CD NO SECTION 16-6N-9W, CADDO COUNTY, OKLAHOMA APACHE CORP. 4. RELIEF SOUGHT : The relief requested is an Order granting an exception to the provisions of Rule Nos. 165: and 165: of the OCC-OGR, so as to provide a separate allowable to one (1) of the two (2) increased density wells authorized by the Order to issue in a pending cause for the Springer common source of supply underlying the 640-acre drilling and spacing unit consisting of Section 16, Township 6 North, Range 9 West, Caddo County, Oklahoma. The separate allowable to be calculated by the greater of the minimum allowable or the percentage of the wells' wellhead absolute open flow potential as determined under the provisions of the rules of the Commission. In the alternative, the Applicant would request an order increasing the unit allowable for the Springer common source of supply in Section 16 to a definite amount of gas per day, said amount to be determined by the evidence submitted at the hearing.
