The Unit will be dedicated to the following wells (“Wells”): Quail Dobbs Federal Com 201H (U-Turn) well, which will produce from a surface hole location in the SW/4 NW/4 of Section 21 to a bottom hole location in the SE/4 NE/4 (Unit H) of Section 20; and Quail Dobbs Federal Com 202H (U-Turn) well, which will produce from a surface hole location in the SW/4 NW/4 of Section 21 to a bottom hole location in the SE/4 SE/4 (Unit P) of Section 20. The completed intervals of the Wells will be orthodox. Applicant requests approval of a non-standard horizontal spacing unit pursuant to Rule 19.15.16.15(B)(5) NMAC, which will create cost efficiencies, prevent waste, and protect correlative rights. Also to be considered will be the cost of drilling and completing the Wells and the allocation of the costs, the designation of Applicant as the operator of the Wells, and a 200% charge for the risk involved in drilling and completing the Wells.
