Take Notice that the Alberta Energy and Utilities Board (EUB) will hold a public hearing of Application No. 1379164 at the Spruce View Community Hall, Main Street, Spruce View, Alberta, commencing on July 5, 2005, at the hour of 9:00 a.m. All interveners to this proceeding must be present at the commencement of the hearing to register their appearance.

Prospex Resources Ltd. (Prospex) submitted an application in accordance with Section 2.020 of the Oil and Gas Conservation Regulations (OGCR) for a licence to drill a directional Level 3 sour well from a surface location in Legal Subdivision (LSD) 12 of Section 4, Township 36, Range 4, West of the 5th Meridian to a bottomhole location of LSD 6-4-36-4W5M. The maximum hydrogen sulphide (H₂S) content would be approximately 403.4 moles per kilomole (40.3 per cent) and the cumulative drilling H₂S release rate would be 8.28 cubic metres per second (m³/s). During the completion and servicing of the proposed well the release rate would be 7.89 m³/s, and the suspended producing release rate would be 7.89 m³/s. The corresponding calculated emergency planning zones (EPZ) is 9.68 kilometres (km) for the drilling release rate, and 9.37 km for both the completion/servicing and suspended/producing release rates. Prospex has received an interim approval from the EUB for a reduced EPZ of 4.0 km. The purpose of the well is to obtain gas production from the Swan Hill Member. The proposed well would be located approximately 15.3 km east of Caroline.
