Fairmont Parkway <br />LaPorte, Texas 77572 <br /> <br />Attention: Mr. Knox Askins <br />City Attorney <br /> <br />Re: Lomax Gas Unit No.1, Well No. 1 <br />Clear Lake Prospect <br />Harris County, Texas <br /> <br />Gentlemen: <br /> <br />Reference is hereby made to Ordinance No. 1659-B which was passed <br />and approved by the LaPorte city Council on December 10, 1990 and, <br />in particular, Section 1 ~hereof. <br /> <br />As recently discussed, Arkla Exploration Company (ARK) has received <br />management approval to drill the referenced well an additional <br />4,000', or to a total depth of 15,500', which will sufficiently <br />test the Yegua formation. The decision to test the Yegua formation <br />was made after additional analysis of the Stratex H-10 seismic line <br />indicated a possible existence of hydrocarbons at a greater depth. <br /> <br />Due to the foregoing, ARK's application for the drilling of an oil <br />and/or gas well within the City of LaPorte needs to be amended to <br />allow ARK the option to drill the Lomax Gas unit No.1, Well No. 1 <br />to the aforesaid depth. The surface location, as discussed in <br />letter dated December 6, 1990, remains unchanged; however, the <br />approximate drilling time will increase'from 45 days to 75 days in <br />the event the well is drilled to a total depth of 15,500'. <br /> <br />Enclosed for approval please find copy of Amended Application, Oil <br />and Gas Well Drilling, which amends paragraph 7., "Proposed Depth," <br />to provide ARK the option to drill the referenced well to a depth <br />of 15,500'. <br /> <br />Finally, your records currently indicate the proposed bottom hole <br />location for the aforesaid well is 10' FNL and 250' FEL of Outlot <br />391, Enoch Brinson Survey, A-5, Harris County, Texas. Due to <br />additional seismic analysis, ARK hereby requests approval to revise <br />the bottom hole location, being described as follows: <br /> <br />10' FSL and 242' FEL of Outlot 388, Enoch <br />Brinson Survey, A-5, Harris County, Texas <br /> <br />wi th such bottom hole location being further described on the <br /> <br />5100 WESTHEIMER, SUITE 400 .
