DAILY (1912-1987) Arkansas Oil and Gas Commission 301 Natural Resources Drive, Suite 102 Little Rock, Arkansas 72205 Re: ORDER REFERENCE NO. 838-2009-12 Application of SEECO, Inc. for Integration of All Unleased Mineral Interests and Non-consenting Working Interests in a unit described as Section 16, Township 7 North, Range 16 West, Conway County, Arkansas Commissioners: SEECO, Inc., 2350 N. Sam Houston Parkway E, Houston, TX 77032, hereby applies to the Arkansas Oil and Gas Commission for the integration of all unleased mineral interests and non-consenting working interests in its proposed drilling unit which is described above. 1. The proposed drilling unit is an established unit as defined in paragraph (f) of Arkansas Oil and Gas Commission General Rule B-43. Applicant proposes to drill a horizontal well from a non-exceptional surface location in the Southeast Quarter down to a non-exceptional bottom hole location in the Northwest Quarter of the abovedescribed unit. The proposed well will be drilled to a total vertical depth of 6,119 feet to test the Fayetteville Shale Formation. Applicant has obtained one or more oil and gas leases covering its proposed drill site. 2. Applicant owns oil and gas leases covering a substantial part of the proposed unit. Applicant should be named as operator of the well. The person or persons to be integrated are shown in Exhibit "A" attached hereto and made a part hereof. 3. Applicant has made diligent efforts to negotiate with the non-participating leasehold working interest owners, each of said parties owning an oil and gas leasehold interest in the proposed unit, but applicant has been unable to secure an assignment of the leasehold interest on an equitable basis or to secure participation by said parties in the drilling of the proposed well.
4. Applicant states that it has made repeated efforts to negotiate with the owners of the unleased mineral interests in order to agree on a plan of development of said drilling unit; that those owners have been offered an opportunity to participate in the proposed well; that they have been offered a fair and reasonable bonus consideration for the execution of an oil and gas lease covering their interests; that they have been furnished with a proposed oil and gas lease and a copy of the AAPL operating agreement form which applicant proposes to use in connection with the drilling of said well; but that all of the efforts of the applicant have produced no agreement by said parties. 5. Applicant states that it is in the best interest of conservation and the protection of correlative rights of all interested parties that the proposed unit be developed for oil and gas production without undue delay. 6. In order that applicant may proceed with the orderly development of said unit, applicant hereby requests that the Arkansas Oil and Gas Commission issue its order, in the alternative, that: (a) (b) The owners of non-consenting oil and gas leasehold working interests indicated above shall participate in the cost of drilling, testing and completion of the test well to be drilled by applicant on the captioned unit, subject to the terms of an Operating Agreement which substantially employs the terms of the AAPL Operating agreement, with a COPAS attached. All of the non-consenting oil and gas leasehold working interests within the proposed unit shall be force pooled and integrated into said unit, and a reasonable risk factor shall be established and assessed as a penalty against said integrated interest. 7. Applicant further states that due to the risks and costs inherent in the drilling of the proposed well, the Commission should fix a reasonable risk factor to be assessed as a penalty against the integrated interests within the unit. The risk factor should be applied to the proportionate cost and expense of drilling, completing and equipping the well, which would have been borne by the interest of said parties had they participated. Applicant requests that if the integrated parties do not elect within 15 days after issuance of the Commission's order as between alternatives (a) and (b), it shall be assumed that the integrated parties elected alternative (b) in lieu of the right to participate in the working interest in said unit. 8. Applicant requests that the Arkansas Oil and Gas Commission set this matter for public hearing, and after same, issue its order, in the alternative, that: (a) Each of the owners of the unleased mineral interests indicated above execute and deliver to applicant a one year oil and gas lease, on an AAPL lease form, for a bonus consideration of $500.00 per net mineral acre to be paid as fair and reasonable
compensation in lieu of the right to participate in the working interest in said unit, and that said oil and gas lease provide for a 1/6 royalty on oil and gas. (b) (c) Each of the owners of unleased mineral interests indicated above be force pooled and integrated into the captioned unit with assessment of a reasonable risk factor penalty against their interest. The owners of unleased mineral interests shall participate in the cost of drilling, testing and completion of the test well to be drilled by applicant on the captioned unit, subject to the terms of an operating agreement which substantially employs the terms of the AAPL Operating Agreement. Applicant further requests that said mineral owners be required to elect within fifteen (15) days after issuance of the Commission's order which method will be pursued in the development of the above described unit, and, in the event no election is made, that it shall be assumed that the owner of said unleased mineral interest has elected to accept a bonus of $500.00 per net mineral acre as compensation in lieu of the right to participate in the working interest in said unit, and with the royalty to be 1/6. 9. Applicant further states that due to the risks and costs inherent in the drilling of the proposed well, the Commission should fix a reasonable risk factor to be assessed as a penalty against the integrated interests within the unit. The risk factor should be applied to the proportionate cost and expenses of drilling, completing and equipping the well, which would have been borne by the interest of said parties had they participated. 10. Applicant further requests that this Commission's order specifically provide that any party electing either to participate or be force pooled subject to recoupment of a risk factor penalty be bound by the terms of the attached AAPL Operating Agreement for the life of commercial production within the unit so that all future unit operations might be proposed pursuant to the provisions of such agreement without the necessity of future action by this Commission. 11. Applicant also requests that said order be made applicable to any unknown spouse, heir, devisee, personal representative, successor or assign of said parties. 12. The names and addresses of parties interested in this proceeding are set forth in Exhibit "A" attached hereto and made a part hereof. 13. Please note the appearance of Thomas A.
