Bryant, Michael J. Clark, Anne C.S. Finney Trust, Fosset Gulch Pipeline and James W. Wallis Trust Darin Savage Jill Dorancy S.D. Bryant, Michael J. Clark, Anne C.S. Finney Trust, Fosset Gulch Pipeline and James W. Wallis Trust ( Bryant or Payees ) filed an Application pursuant to Rule 503.b.(10) and , C.R.S., for an order awarding payment of proceeds, interest, costs, and attorneys' fees due to Payee for production attributable to Lamke # 1 Well, which is operated by Catamount Energy Partners, LLC in Archuleta County, Colorado. Catamount Energy Partners, LLC Scott Campbell & Aaron Norris Catamount filed a protest to the application stating that the Oil and Gas Conservation Act does not require consenting parties who agree to drill wells to shoulder the burdens of overriding royalty interests which encumber the working interest of nonconsenting parties oil and gas lessees. Catamount argues that it would be unjust, unreasonable, inequitable, and a violation of Catamount s correlative rights to require payment of a 45% non-cost bearing interest on two-thirds of the drilling and spacing unit, if the overriding royalty interests should ordinarily be paid during the cost-recovery period. Issue: The sole issue to be heard at the September Commission hearing is: should an overriding royalty interest be paid when the underlying working interest is nonconsenting in a pooled unit?
