Reft State Tract 53-11 Application for Permit
Dear Mr. Heidecker:
Sabco Operating Company hereby submits an Application for Permit to drill a well located in
State Tract 53, Corpus Christi Bay, along with a plat and associated programs. A $1000.00
application fee is enclosed. We will forward the balance ($500) via FedEx tomorrow.
The following items are also in your file:
· Certificate of Insurance (original on file with city)
· List of parties owning a working interest
We request the exception for the following reasons:
1) Drilling a straight hole versus a directional hole will save drilling costs and increase the
probability of successfully drilling the well.
2) The new location will not impact normal bay activities.
3) The new location will not have any discemable visual impact.
4) The ST 49#5 well that we drilled recently is a dry hole and will be plugged..
5) We rescind from our plan to drill ST 49#7, which was permitted by the city.
Thank you in advance for consideration of our application.
Very truly yours,
