To confirm that with respect to the proposed horizontal lateral to be drilled to the Cotton Valley Zone, Reservoir B, where the horizontal lateral portion of the well is cased and cemented back above the top of the Cotton Valley Zone, Reservoir B, the distance to any unit boundary and any offset well should be calculated based on the distance to the nearest perforation in the well, and not based on the penetration point or terminus. 3. To establish that the proposed alternate unit well is necessary to efficiently and economically drain a portion of the Cotton Valley Zone, Reservoir B, underlying CV RB SUH and CV RB SUJ. 4. To find that unit production from the proposed cross unit lateral should be allocated to each unit in the same proportion as the perforated length of the lateral in each unit bears to the total length of the perforated lateral as determined by an as drilled survey performed after the cross unit well is drilled and completed. 5. Otherwise, to authorize the unit allowable for these units to be recovered from the unit wells, any alternate unit wells, or from any combination of such wells, at the discretion of the operator. 6.
