Applicant proposes to drill the following wells: (1) Bonzo Federal Com 1924CDX 001H well, to be horizontally drilled from an approximate surface hole location 1397’ FSL and 415’ FWL of Section 20, T-17S-R28E, to an approximate bottom hole location 2272’ FSL and 2607’ FEL of Section 24, T17S-R27E (“Bonzo 1H”); (2) Bonzo Federal Com 1924CDX 002H well, to be horizontally drilled from an approximate surface hole location 1372’ FSL and 415’ FWL of Section 20, T-17S-R28E, to an approximate bottom hole location 1846’ FSL and 2609’ FEL of Section 24, T17S-R27E (“Bonzo 2H”); (3) Bonzo Federal Com 1924CDX 003H well, to be horizontally drilled from an approximate surface hole location 1347’ FSL and 415’ FWL of Section 20, T-17S-R28E, to an approximate bottom hole location 1400’ FSL and 2610’ FEL of Section 24, T17S-R27E (“Bonzo 3H”); (4) Bonzo Federal Com 1924CDX 004H well, to be horizontally drilled from an approximate surface hole location 1322’ FSL and 415’ FWL of Section 20, T-17S-R28E, to an approximate bottom hole location 994’ FSL and 2612’ FEL of Section 24, T17S-R27E (“Bonzo 4H”); (5) Bonzo Federal Com 1924CDX 005H well, to be horizontally drilled from an approximate surface hole location 1297’ FSL and 415’ FWL of Section 20, T-17S-R28E, to an approximate bottom hole location 570’ FSL and 2614’ FEL of Section 24, T17S-R27E (“Bonzo 5H”), and; (6) Bonzo Federal Com 1924CDX 006H well, to be horizontally drilled from an approximate surface hole location 1272’ FSL and 415’ FWL of Section 20, T-17S-R28E, to an approximate bottom hole location 142’ FSL and 2615’ FEL of Section 24, T17S-R27E (“Bonzo 6H”). The first and last take points for the proposed wells will meet the setback requirements set forth in the statewide rules for horizontal oil wells. The completed laterals for the Bonzo 1H, Bonzo 2H, Bonzo 3H, Bonzo 4H, and Bonzo 5H comply with the standard setbacks. The completed lateral proposed for the Bonzo 6H does not satisfy the standard setback because the completed interval is closer than 330’ from the outer boundary of the HSU. Longfellow will be seeking separate approval of a non-standard location for the Bonzo 6H. 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 Operator of the wells, and a 200% charge for the risk involved in drilling and completing the wells. The wells and lands are located approximately 14 miles west of Loco Hills, New Mexico.
