LEGAL NOTICE
STATE OF LOUISIANA, OFFICE OF CONSERVATION, BATON ROUGE, LOUISIANA.
In accordance with the laws of the State of Louisiana, and with particular reference to the provisions of Title 30 of Louisiana Revised Statutes of 1950, a public hearing will be held in the Hearing Room, 1st Floor, LaSalle Building, 617 North 3rd Street, Baton Rouge, Louisiana, at 9:00 a.m. on TUESDAY, OCTOBER 7, 2025, upon the application of AETHON ENERGY OPERATING, LLC.
At such hearing the Commissioner of Conservation will consider evidence relative to the issuance of Orders pertaining to the following matters relating to the Haynesville Zone, Reservoir A, in the Elm Grove Field, Caddo and Bossier Parishes, Louisiana.
1. To authorize applicant to drill, designate and utilize one cross unit horizontal well to serve as an alternate unit well for HA RA SUAA, HA RA SUHH, and HA RA SUII, at the location and in the general manner shown on the plat submitted with the application, or at any other legal location within such units, and to approve exceptions to the spacing provisions of Office of Conservation Order No. 361-L, effective July 29, 2008, as to the common boundaries of the units which will be served by the cross unit horizontal well, provided that there will be no perforations in a wellbore closer than 330' to any unit boundary other than the common unit boundaries between the units to be served by the well.
2. To find that the proposed horizontal well is necessary to efficiently and economically drain a portion of the Haynesville Zone, underlying the units on which it is proposed to be drilled which cannot be efficiently and economically drained by any existing well on such units, will prevent waste, avoid the drilling of unnecessary wells, protect correlative rights and promote the full and efficient development of the natural resources of this state.
3. To provide that if the horizontal portion of a well is cased and cemented back above the top of the Haynesville Zone, Reservoir A, the distance to any unit boundary and offset well(s) will be calculated based on the distance to the nearest perforation in the well and not on the penetration point or terminus of the well in the Haynesville Zone, Reservoir A.
4. Except insofar as set forth above, to confirm and continue in full force and effect the provisions of Order No. 361-L, effective July 29, 2008, as amended and supplemented by the 361-L Series of Orders, the units created thereby, and of all applicable Statewide Orders.
5. To provide that the unit allowables for the units to be served by the proposed well may be produced from the unit well, from any alternate unit well, or from any combination of such wells serving the unit, at the discretion of the operator.
6. To provide that production from the proposed cross unit horizontal well shall be allocated to each unit penetrated by the well in the same proportion as the perforated length of the lateral in each such unit bears to the total length of the perforated lateral as determined by an "as drilled' survey performed after the well has been drilled and completed, except that the proportion of unit production associated with the perforated length of lateral located within 330' of the common unit boundary between HA RA SUAA and HA RA SUHH shall be allocated equally between HA RA SUAA and HA RA SUHH.
7. To consider such other matters as may be pertinent.
The Haynesville Zone, Reservoir A was defined in Order No. 361-L, effective July 29, 2008.
A plat is available for inspection in the Office of Conservation in Baton Rouge and Shreveport, Louisiana.
