Take Notice that the Alberta Energy and Utilities Board (EUB or Board) will hold a public hearing to consider a review of Well Licence 0287658 at the Nesbitt Community Hall, Township Road 342, Range Road 282, Alberta commencing on Wednesday, April 28, 2004 at the hour of 10:00 a.m. All interveners to this proceeding must be present at the commencement of the hearing to register their appearance.

Nature of Proceeding
Mr. Gary Norman and Mr. Glenn Norman of H.G. Norman & Sons (collectively, the Interveners) made a request under Section 40 of the Energy Resources Conservation Act for the Board to review Well Licence 0287658 issued by the EUB on May 28, 2003 to Bumper Development Corporation Ltd. (Bumper). Bumper had applied under application 1302521 to drill a well at Legal Subdivision 7, Section 35, Township 33, Range 28 West of the 4th Meridian to obtain production from the Viking Formation. The Board granted the Interveners' request for review of the issued licence and has directed that a hearing be scheduled to reconsider the issued licence as it pertains to the access road.
