At such hearing the Commissioner of Conservation will consider evidence relative to the issuance of Orders pertaining to the following matters relating to the Haynesville Zone, Reservoir A, in the Benson Field, DeSoto Parish, Louisiana. 1. To permit the applicant to drill, designate and utilize four (4) cross unit horizontal alternate unit wells for HA RA SUSS and HA RA SUTT, at the locations shown on the plat submitted with the application, in exception to the spacing provisions of Office of Conservation Order No. 496-L, effective November 18, 2008; provided that these proposed cross unit horizontal unit wells will be perforated no closer than 330 from any unit boundary of a unit other than those for which they are designated to serve. 2. To explicitly find that the proposed cross unit horizontal alternate unit wells are reasonable and in the interest of conservation and are necessary to drain portions of the Haynesville Zone, Reservoir A, underlying such units, which cannot be efficiently and economically drained by any existing well in such units. 3. To provide that unit production from each cross unit horizontal alternate unit well shall 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; provided that unit production shall continue to be shared on a surface acre basis. 4. To provide that production from each cross unit horizontal alternate unit well shall be separated and metered individually and this information shall be reported in the manner prescribed by the Office of Conservation. 5. To provide that, with respect to cross unit horizontal wells drilled to the Haynesville Zone, Reservoir A, within or to serve HA RA SUSS and HA RA SUTT, where the horizontal lateral portion of the well is cased and cemented back above the top of the Haynesville Zone, Reservoir A, the distance to any unit boundary and any offset well(s) should be calculated based on the distance to the nearest perforation in the well, and not based on the penetration point or terminus and that the proposed cross unit lateral should be perforated no closer than 330 to any unit boundary of a unit other than the common unit boundary for those units for which it is designated to serve as an alternate unit well. 6. To provide that each of the unit allowables for HA RA SUSS and HA RA SUTT, respectively, may be produced from either the unit well, the alternate unit wells, the cross unit horizontal alternate unit wells, or any combination thereof, at the operators discretion. 7. Except to the extent contrary herewith, to provide that the provisions of Order No. 496-L, effective November 18, 2008, as amended and supplemented by the 496-L Series of Orders, and any applicable Statewide Orders, shall remain in full force and effect. 8.
