Take Notice that the Alberta Energy and Utilities Board (EUB) will hold a public hearing to consider a review of licence number 0307423, at the Civic Centre, 120 Brent Blvd, Strathmore, Alberta, commencing on Wednesday, July 20, 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.

Paul and Mary Gron (the Interveners) made a request under Section 40 of the Energy Resources Conservation Act for the Board to review licence number 0307423. The Board has granted the Interveners' request for review and has directed that a hearing be scheduled to determine whether the Board should confirm, vary or rescind its decision to grant well licence 0307423.

On April 20, 2004, the Board approved Application No. 1342634 and issued well licence 0307423 to Encana Corporation (Encana). The licence would permit Encana to drill a well with 0.00 mol/kmol H₂S, from a surface location in Legal Subdivision (LSD) 11 of Section 26, Township 23, Range 25, West of the 4th Meridian. The purpose of the well would be to obtain gas production from the Belly River Group and coalbed methane from the Belly River and Edmonton Group formations. The proposed well would be located approximately 4 kilometres (km) northeast of the Town of Strathmore.
