The newspaper said Hebert's 4-year-old company, which, according to state oil and gas tax records, had not operated an oil well in the state before obtaining the farm-out contract, began drilling the first of four successful wells on the Mobil affiliate lease in Eddy County last summer.

Hebert acknowledged that his firm wasn't well known before drilling the wells. "That little lease got us started." he said. The first well, completed in September, is capable of producing 590 barrels a day, but state Oil Conservation Division regulations set the daily maximum at 107 barrels to preserve the reservoir's efficiency, division geo lr vATEnvontD- 10595 MONTANA I CINEMA PARK Optm 7 Day $2.00 Mem.

Bud Hebert, who later sponsored a bill that could have meant billions of dollars in sales from a pipeline owned largely by Mobil and Shell Oil. The paper said in Sunday's editions that Senate Bill 207, sponsored in the 1985 Legislature by Hebert, R-Chaves-Eddy, would have eliminated state severance and emergency school taxes on oil recovered by injecting underground reserves with carbon dioxide to force the oil out. The measure, designed to encourage what is known as tertiary recovery of oil that cannot be pumped through conventional means, also would have created an expanded market for the carbon dioxide flowing through the Mobil-Shell affiliates' pipeline. The proposal died during a filibuster at the close of the session after having passed both houses of the Legislature in some form.

Hebert said his legislative activities had no connection with the agreement with the Mobil affiliate. "There were no special favors extended or asked," he told the newspaper. A public affairs adviser for Mobil in Houston. Darlene Taylor, said Mobil didn't know the tax break was being considered when Mobil Producing Texas New Mexico Inc. chose Hebert's firm to drill on the lease in July.

"We knew nothing of the legislation when we made the farm-out to Bud Hebert," she told the newspaper by telephone. Testimony during the legislative session said the bill would have provided substantial business for Cortez Pipeline which takes carbon dioxide from the McElmo Dome in southwestern Colorado and pipes it through New Mexico into West Texas. Cortez Pipeline is a general partnership owned 43 percent by Mobil Cortez Pipeline, 44 percent by Shell Western and 13 percent by Continental Resources. Mobil Cortez Pipeline is a subsidiary of Mobil Producing Texas New Mexico, the affiliate that awarded the oil lease operat-; ing contract to Challenger Energy, of which Hebert is president, the newspaper AMADEUS 1.

"It's a phenomenal well," Brooks said. The wells are in the Brushy Draw-Delaware pool, a prolific new site described by some oilmen as the hottest in the state. State production reports show the first two wells by Challenger are producing at a monthly allowable rate of 3,210 barrels, while the third produced 1,500 barrels of crude oil in about two weeks, the paper said. Records are not available yet for the fourth well. The newspaper said state Oil and Gas Accounting Division records show that between September and January, on the first well and part of the second, Challenger Energy earned a net income of $195,676 after taxes and royalties.

Figures were not available) beyond January, the newspaper said. i Challenger's estimated share of the initial drilling investment for the first well was about $150,000, based on cost figures provided by Hebert, the Journal said. i The Cortez pipeline is closest to the southeastern New Mexico oil fields where carbon! dioxide recovery has been proposed on commercial scale. I Legislative testimony indicated the tax break would have led to as much as $6 billion in carbon dioxide sales to oil producers. PERFECT (Rl 1.

The Journal also reported that federal oil lease records show Hebert assigned 25 percent interest in the drilling contact to Barber Oil headed by Rep. Robert Light, D-Eddy, who carried the tax break measure in the New Mexico House after it passed the Senate. Light said his company's interest in the wells was not connected with his decision to carry the legislation in the House. Neither Hebert nor Light mentioned during the 1985 session that their companies had an interest in the Mobil lease.

"There wasn't any reason to disclose it," Hebert said Thursday. "It wasn't relevant."
