Note that if no submissions are received on or before Monday, March 14, 2005, relating to the application, the EUB may continue to process this application without further notice.

Bearspaw Petroleum Ltd. 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 24 of Township 24, Range 28, West of the 4th Meridian, be operated as a unit for the production of gas from all zones to the base of the Belly River Group, through a well to be drilled in Legal Subdivision 10.

The applicant requested, among other things, 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 Act be applied to a tract's share of the costs of drilling the well to, and completing it in, the formation(s) named in the order, if the tract owner does not pay its share of 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.
