Re: Lomax ~as Unit No.2, Well
No.1; Clear Lake Prospect
Harris County, Texas
Gentlemen:
Arkla Exploration Company (ARK) is proposing to drill the Lomax Gas
Unit No.2, Well No.1 at a surface location 2001 FNL and 3631 FWL
of Outlot 465, Enoch Brinson Survey, A-5, Harris County, Texas,
with the proposed bottom hole location being 4401 FNL and 1851 FEL
of Outlot 426, Enoch Brinson Survey, A-5, Harris County, Texas.
Due to the presence of a mobile home park in Outlot 426, ARK will
be drilling a directional hole ~ total distance of 1,692.81 to a
proposed depth of 15,5001, with the option to complete the well at
a shallower depth of. approximately 11,5001.
ARK chose Outlot 465 as the surface location for several reasons.
First, an aerial photo indicated there were only three (3)
residences located within 7501 of the proposed surface location
which was important in order to minimize any impact that drilling
operations might have on nearby residents and for purposes of
complying with Section 16-4(2) of Ordinance No. 1659. Second, by
choosing Outlot 465 as the surface location, ARK could gain access
to the location by using Spencer Highway and North "H" Street. The
alternative would have been North "L" Street, a more traveled
thoroughfare used mainly for residential and school traffic.
In compliance with Ordinance 1659 dated January 8, 1990, enclosed
find the following documents which are being submitted with ARK1s
application for a permit to drill the Lomax Gas Unit No.2, Well
No. 1 within the City of LaPorte, Texas:
1) Application dated May 6, 1991, for oil and Gas Well Drilling
which has been executed by Arkla Exploration Company.
2) Check in the amount of $1,000.00 as a permit fee for drilling
the Lomax Gas Unit No.2, Well No.1.
3) Plat of Area Around Arkla Exploration Company 1 s Proposed
Surface Location of the Lomax Gas Unit No.2, Well No.1, in
5100 WESTHEIMER, SUITE 400 . HOUSTON. TEXAS 77056-5507 . (713) 623-5000

Outlot Number 436, Enoch Brinson Survey, A-5, Harris County,
Texas.
with regard to Item 3 above, ARK is in the process of obtaining
three (3) executed Agreements from all affected owners located
within 7501 of the surface location, as required under section 16-
4 (2) and will provide you with copies of same wi thin the next
several days. ARK has attempted in good faith to choose a surface
location which will have a minimum impact on the citizens of
LaPorte. It is hoped that ARK1s request for a new well permit will
be approved by the City Council of the City of LaPorte, Texas.
Thank you for your consideration of this request.
Sincerely,
~~.~
