This proposed standard horizontal well spacing unit will overlap the following existing or proposed horizontal well spacing units in the Bone Spring formation:
• A proposed 482-acre spacing unit comprised of this same acreage in the Second Bone Spring interval to be dedicated to the Twinkle 2601 Federal Com 121H well proposed by MRC; and
