LEGAL NOTICE-GREENWOOD-WASKOM AND METCALF FIELDS Docket Nos. 26-118 thru 26-123 STATE OF LOUISIANA, DEPARTMENT OF CONSERVATION AND ENERGY, 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, APRIL 21, 2026, upon the application of EXPAND OPERATING, LLC. At such hearing the Department of Conservation and Energy will consider evidence relative to the issuance of Orders pertaining to the following matters relating to the Haynesville Zone, Reservoirs A, in the Greenwood-Waskom and Metcalf Fields, Caddo Parish, Louisiana. 1. To permit the applicant to drill, designate and utilize two cross unit horizontal wells as alternate unit wells for HA RA SUC and HA RA SUP in the Metcalf Field and HA RA SU68 in the Greenwood-Waskom Field, at the locations and in the general manner shown on the plat submitted with the application, in exception to the spacing provisions of the 813-B and 270-MM Series of Office of Permitting and Compliance Orders, and in accordance with Statewide Order No. 29-S. 2. To permit the applicant to drill, designate and utilize two cross unit horizontal wells as alternate unit wells for HA RA SUR, HA RA SUS and HA RA SUT in the Metcalf Field, at the locations and in the general manner shown on the plat submitted with the application, in exception to the spacing provisions of the 813-B Series of Orders, and in accordance with Statewide Order No. 29-S. 3. To permit the applicant to drill, designate and utilize one cross unit horizontal well as alternate unit well for HA RA SUC, HA RA SUP, HA RA SUR, HA RA SUS and HA RA SUT in the Metcalf Field and HA RA SU68 in the Greenwood-Waskom Field, at the locations and in the general manner shown on the plat submitted with the application, in exception to the spacing provisions of the 813-B and 270-MM Series of Orders, and in accordance with Statewide Order No. 29-S. 4. To find that the proposed cross unit wells are necessary to efficiently and economically drain a portion of the Haynesville Zone, Reservoirs A, underlying HA RA SUC, HA RA SUP, HA RA SUR, HA RA SUS and HA RA SUT in the Metcalf Field and HA RA SU68 in the Greenwood-Waskom Field, which cannot be so drained by any existing well within such units, including portions of the participating units contained within 100' of either side of the common unit boundaries between said units. 5. To provide that with respect to horizontal wells drilled to the Haynesville Zone, Reservoirs A, within or to serve HA RA SUC, HA RA SUP, HA RA SUR, HA RA SUS and HA RA SUT in the Metcalf Field and HA RA SU68 in the Greenwood-Waskom Field, where the horizontal portion of the well is cased and cemented back above the top of the Haynesville Zone, Reservoirs A, the distance to any unit boundary and any offset well(s) should be calculated based on the distance to the nearest perforation in the well and not based on the penetration point or terminus. 6. To permit the unit operator of HA RA SUC, HA RA SUP, HA RA SUR, HA RA SUS and HA RA SUT, in the Metcalf Field and HA RA SU68 in the Greenwood-Waskom Field to produce the unit allowable for each of said units from the unit well, from any alternate unit well, or from any combination thereof, at its discretion. 7. To find that unit production from the proposed cross unit wells should be allocated to each of the units from which it produces 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 proposed cross unit wells are drilled and completed, except that the proportion of unit production associated with the perforated length of lateral located within 330' of the common unit boundaries between HA RA SUC, HA RA SUP, HA RA SUR and HA RA SUS, in Metcalf Field should be allocated equally between said units, and that unit production should continue to be shared on a surface acreage basis. 8. To provide that all operations on and production from the perforated length of lateral located within 330' of the common unit boundaries between HA RA SUC, HA RA SUP, HA RA SUR and HA RA SUS, in the Metcalf Field should considered operations on and production from each of the separate tracts within said units and under terms of each of the mineral leases or other mineral rights affecting said tracts, regardless of the locations of the perforations within 330' of the common unit boundaries between said units. 9. To continue in full force and effect, except to the extent contrary herewith, the pertinent provisions of Order No. 270-MM, effective June 19, 2007, Order No. 813-B, as amended and supplemented by the 813-B Series of Orders, Statewide Order No. 29-S, and all other applicable Statewide Orders. 10. To consider such other matters as may be pertinent. The Haynesville Zone, Reservoir A, in the Greenwood-Waskom Field, was originally defined in Order No. 270-MM, effective June 19, 2007, and redefined as to HA RA SU68 in Order No. 270-MM-41, effective March 9, 2010.
