LEGAL NOTICE
STATE OF LOUISIANA, DEPARTMENT OF CONSERVATION AND ENERGY, BATON ROUGE, LOUISIANA.
In accordance with the laws of the State of Louisiana, and with particular reference to the provisions of Title 30 of Louisiana Revised Statutes of 1950, a public hearing will be held in the Hearing Room, 1st Floor, LaSalle Building, 617 North 3rd Street, Baton Rouge, Louisiana, at 9:00 a.m. on TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 2026, upon the application of EXPAND OPERATING LLC.
At such hearing the Department of Conservation and Energy will consider evidence relative to the issuance of Orders pertaining to the following matters relating to the Haynesville Zone, Reservoir A, in the Carroll Creek Field, Red River Parish, Louisiana.
1. To permit the applicant to drill, designate and utilize four cross unit horizontal wells: two as alternate unit wells for HA RA SUI and HA RA SUT; one along the common unit line as alternate unit well for HA RA SUI, HA RA SUT, and HA RA SUJ and as the substitute or alternate unit well for HA RA SUM; and one as alternate unit well for HA RA SUJ and as the substitute or alternate unit well for HA RA SUM, all at the locations and in the general manner shown on the plat submitted with the application and made a part hereof, in exception to the spacing provisions of the 1186-C Office of Permitting and Compliance Series of Orders, provided there are no perforations in any wellbore closer than 330’ to any unit boundary and limited to 100’ from any unit boundary in the direction of the horizontal wellbore closest to the top of perforations or base of perforations (200’ between wells in adjacent units), except for the common unit boundaries between said units.
2. To find that the proposed wells are necessary to efficiently and economically drain a portion of the reservoir covered by each unit which cannot be so drained by any existing well within such units.
3. To permit the operator to produce the unit allowable for each unit from the unit well, substitute unit well and/or the alternate unit wells, in any combination, at its discretion.
4. To find that unit production from the proposed cross unit horizontal well along the common unit line shall be allocated as follows: (a) equally between HA RA SUI and HA RA SUJ, in the same proportion as the perforated length of lateral within 330’ of the common unit boundary between HA RA SUI and HA RA SUJ 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, and (b) equally between HA RA SUT and HA RA SUM, in the same proportion as the perforated length of the lateral within 330’ of the common unit boundary between HA RA SUT and HA RA SUM 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.
5. To provide that production from such cross unit horizontal wells shall be separated and metered individually and this information shall be reported in the manner prescribed by the Secretary of the Department of Conservation and Energy.
6. To find that, with respect to such cross unit horizontal wells drilled to the Haynesville Zone, Reservoir A, within or to serve HA RA SUI, HA RA SUJ, HA RA SUT, and HA RA SUM, where the horizontal 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 offset wells(s) should be calculated based on the distance to the nearest perforation in the well, and not based on the penetration point or terminus.
7. Except insofar as set forth above, to confirm and continue in effect the provisions of the 1186-C Series of Orders, the units created thereby and applicable Statewide Orders.
8. To consider such other matters as may be pertinent.
The Haynesville Zone, Reservoir A was defined in Order No. 1186-C, effective December 16, 2008.
A plat is available for inspection in the Department of Conservation and Energy in Baton Rouge and Shreveport, Louisiana.
