I AMAWN AV <br />~��o�rrayv <br />May 13, 1991 <br />City of LaPorte <br />604 W. Fairmont Parkway <br />LaPorte, Texas 77572 <br />Attention: Mr. Joel Albrecht <br />Director of <br />Community Service <br />Re: Lomax Gas Unit No. 2, Well <br />No. 1; Clear Lake Prospect <br />Harris County, Texas <br />Gentlemen: <br />Arkla Exploration Company (ARK) is proposing to drill the Lomax Gas <br />Unit No. 2, Well No. 1 at a surface location 200' FNL and 363' FWL <br />of outlot 465, Enoch Brinson Survey, A-5, Harris County, Texas, <br />with the proposed bottom hole location being 440' FNL and 185' FEL <br />of outlot 426, Enoch Brinson Survey, A-5, Harris County, Texas. <br />Due to the presence of a mobile home park in outlot 426, ARK will <br />be drilling a directional hole a total distance of 1,692.8' to a <br />proposed depth of 15,500', with the option to complete the well at <br />a shallower depth of approximately 11,5001. <br />ARK chose outlot 465 as the surface location for several reasons. <br />First, an aerial photo indicated there were only three (3) <br />residences located within 750' of the proposed surface location <br />which was important in order to minimize any impact that drilling <br />operations might have on nearby residents and for purposes of <br />complying with Section 16-4(2) of ordinance No. 1659. Second, by <br />choosing outlot 465 as the surface location, ARK could gain access <br />to the location by using Spencer Highway and North "H" Street. The <br />alternative would have been North "L" Street, a more traveled <br />thoroughfare used mainly for residential and school traffic. <br />In compliance with ordinance 1659 dated January 8, 1990, enclosed <br />find the following documents which are being submitted with ARK's <br />application for a permit to drill the Lomax Gas Unit No. 2, Well <br />No. 1 within the City of LaPorte, Texas: <br />1) Application dated May 6, 1991, for oil and Gas Well Drilling <br />which has been executed by Arkla Exploration Company. <br />2) Check in the amount of $1,000.00 as a permit fee for drilling <br />the Lomax Gas Unit No. 2, Well No. 1. <br />3) Plat of Area Around Arkla Exploration Company's Proposed <br />Surface Location of the Lomax Gas Unit No. 2, Well No. 1, in <br />5100 WESTHEIMER, SUITE 400 • HOUSTON, TEXAS 77056-5507 • (713) 623-5000 <br />
