Nature of the Application

Response Energy Corporation has applied pursuant to section 80 of the Oil and Gas Conservation Act (the Act) for an order prescribing that all tracts within the drilling spacing unit comprising Section 8 of Township 43, Range 24, West of the 4th Meridian, be operated as a unit for the production of gas and coalbed methane from all zones to the base of the Belly River Group, through the well with the unique identifier of 00/03-08-043-24W4 and from one additional well that may be drilled in the section.

The applicant requested that costs and revenues under the pooling order be allocated on a tract area basis, and that it be named the operator of the well to be produced. In addition, the applicant requested that the maximum penalty allowed under the OGCA be applied to a tract owner’s share of the costs of drilling the well to, and completing it in, the formations named in the order if the tract owner does not pay the costs within 30 days of the later of the pooling order being issued, the tract owner being notified in writing of its share of actual costs, or the well commencing production.
