DAILY (1912-1987) BEN CORE (1924-2007) May 7, 2013 Arkansas Oil and Gas Commission 301 Natural Resources Drive, Suite 102 Little Rock, Arkansas 72205 Re: ORDER REFERENCE NO. 126-2013-05 Application of Weiser-Brown Oil Company for the amendment of the Field Rules of Shiloh Field in Lafayette County, Arkansas to create an exceptional unit, consisting of the East Three-quarters of the Southeast Quarter of the Southwest Quarter, the South One-quarter of the East Three-Quarters of the Northeast Quarter of the Southwest Quarter, the South One-quarter of the Northwest Quarter of the Southeast Quarter, the North Half of the Southwest Quarter of the Southeast Quarter, the North Half of the Southwest Quarter of the Southwest Quarter of the Southeast Quarter, the South One-quarter of the West Half of the Northeast Quarter of the Southeast Quarter and the Northwest Quarter of the Northwest Quarter of the Southeast Quarter of the Southeast Quarter, all in Section 36, Township 15 South, Range 23 West, Lafayette County, Arkansas Commissioners: Weiser-Brown Oil Company, P.O. Box 500, Magnolia, AR 71753, hereby applies to the Arkansas Oil and Gas Commission as follows: 1. The Applicant is the operator of the Esters #1 Well, which was the discovery well for the Smackover Limestone Reservoir within the Shiloh Field in Lafayette County, Arkansas. The field rules of the Shiloh field, as originally adopted in Arkansas Oil and Gas Commission Order No. 4-66, were amended and extended by Order No. 509-2010-09 to cover the Smackover Limestone Formation. That order created the Esters Unit, composed of the East Three-Quarters of the Southeast Quarter of the South Southeast Quarter of Section 35, the Southwest Quarter of the Southwest Quarter and the West One-quarter of the Southeast Quarter of the Southwest Quarter of Section 36, all in Township 15 South, Range 23 West, Lafayette County, Arkansas. 2. The field rules established by Order No. 509-2010-09, governing the Smackover Limestone Formation within the Shiloh Field provide for automatic extensions, but define those extensions as approximately 80 acre rectangles, approximately 1,320 feet in width by approximately 2,640 feet in length. 3. The Applicant has now identified a prospect which is the East offset to the above described Esters #1 Unit. However, geological data indicates that any unit configuration which is approximately 1,320 feet in width by approximately 2,640 feet in length will
either omit potentially productive acreage or include known non-productive acreage, due to the location of a fault which defines the eastern limit of the common source of supply. The Applicant therefore requests that the Arkansas Oil and Gas Commission further amend the field rules of the Shiloh Field to create an exceptional unit, approximately 80 acres in area, composed of the following lands: The East Three-quarters of the Southeast Quarter of the Southwest Quarter, the South One-quarter of the East Three-Quarters of the Northeast Quarter of the Southwest Quarter, the South One-quarter of the Northwest Quarter of the Southeast Quarter, the North Half of the Southwest Quarter of the Southeast Quarter, the North Half of the Southwest Quarter of the Southwest Quarter of the Southeast Quarter, the South One-quarter of the West Half of the Northeast Quarter of the Southeast Quarter and the Northwest Quarter of the Northwest Quarter of the Southeast Quarter of the Southeast Quarter, all in Section 36, Township 15 South, Range 23 West, Lafayette County, Arkansas 4. The parties listed on Exhibit A are the interested parties in this proceeding and are the parties who should be given notice. 5. Please note the appearance of Thomas A. Daily of Daily & Woods, P.L.L.C., P.O. Box 1446, Fort Smith, Arkansas, 72902, on behalf of applicant. Very truly yours, Thomas A. Daily jmt
