Take Notice that the Alberta Energy and Utilities Board (EUB/Board) has received Application No.1387688. This notice is to advise of the filing of this application. Note that if no submissions are received on or before Friday, April 29, 2005, relating to the application, the EUB may continue to process this application without further notice.

Tusk 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 18 of Township 82, Range 3, West of the 6th Meridian, be operated as a unit for the production of gas from the Getting Formation, through the well with the unique identifier of 00/15-18-082-03W6.

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 a penalty of 100 per cent be applied to a tract's share of the costs of recompleting the well in the formation 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.
