John Bell has knowingly filed many fraudulent H-15 test reports to the TRRC. That's a very good way to piss them off.
From the Master Default Order...
18. On July 31, 2008, Respondent filed Commission Form H15 (Test On An Inactive Well More Than 25 Years Old) with the Commission showing that: (1) Well No. 1 of the Christian, L. (06930) Lease was tested on June 17, 2008 and had a fluid level of 1380'; (2) Well No. 2 was tested on June 17, 2008 and had a fluid level of 1380'; (3) Well No. 4 was tested on June 17, 2008 and had a fluid level of 1410'; (4) Well No. 5 was tested on June 17, 2008 and had a fluid level of 1410'; (5) Well No. 7 was tested on June 17, 2008 and had a fluid level of 1410'; and (6) Well No. 9 was tested on June 17, 2008 and had a fluid level of 1410'.
19. Each Commission Form H-15 (Test On An Inactive Well More Than 25 Years Old) referenced above was certified by Respondent to have been prepared by it or under its supervision and direction, and that the data and facts stated therein to contain true, correct and complete information to the best of Respondent’s knowledge as evidenced by the signature of its Trustee, John F. Bell.
20. On August 11, 2008, the Commission conducted its own fluid level tests of Well Nos. 1, 2, 4, 5, 7 and 9 of the Christian, L. (06930) Lease and found the following fluid levels: (1) 0' for Well No. 1; (2) 290' for Well No. 2; (3) 600' for Well No. 4;(4) 0' for Well No. 5; (5) 0' for Well No. 7; and (6) 200' for Well No. 9.
21. By filing Forms H-15 (Test On An Inactive Well More Than 25 Years Old) with the Commission which reflected inaccurate fluid levels for Well Nos. 1, 2, 4, 5, 7 and 9 of the Christian, L. (06930) Lease, Respondent knowingly submitted forms containing information which was false or untrue in a material fact in violation of Tex. Nat. Res. Code Ann. §91.143(a)(1).
22. The Respondent has not demonstrated good faith since it failed to timely plug or otherwise place the subject leases and subject wells in compliance after being notified of the violations by the District Office and failed to appear at the hearing to explain its inaction.
John Bell Treaty's "Operations Manager" get's another Master Default Order...
MASTER DEFAULT ORDERS (9 items; numbers 79 - 87)
79. O&G 6E-0277265: Enforcement action against Bell, John F., Sole Proprietor, Glade Operating Co.

Looks as though John Bell, Treaty's "operations manager", has refused to sign off on his deposition in his theft case with Heritage Oil... That would be a move made by a guilty person.
As of 9-8-2014 Non- of the issues with these Operators have been resolved... In fact there are many, many more TRRC regulatory issues that have been added by the TRRC...
