The completed interval of the proposed Frizzle Fry Federal Com 504H well is expected to remain within 330 feet of the adjoining quarter-quarter sections (or equivalent tracts) to allow inclusion of these proximity tracts within the proposed horizontal spacing unit under 19.15.16.15.B(1)(b) NMAC. This proposed horizonal well spacing unit will overlap the following existing spacing units in the Bone Spring formation (Red Tank, Bone Spring [51683] pool code):
