STATE OF ALASKA ALASKA OIL AND GAS CONSERVATION COMMISSION 333 West 7th Avenue Anchorage, Alaska 99501 Re: THE APPLICATION OF Hilcorp Alaska, LLC for a spacing exception to allow Pearl 8 and Pearl 9 wells to be drilled, completed, tested and produced in the Pearl Undefined Gas Pool and the Ninilchik Beluga/Tyonek Gas Pool within 1,500 feet of a property line where the owners and landowners are not the same on both sides of the line and within 1,500 feet from the exterior boundary of the Affected Area of Conservation Order 701C. ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) Docket Number: CO-22-006 Conservation Order 701D Pearl 8 and 9 Exploration Wells Pearl Prospect near Ninilchik, AK Kenai Peninsula Borough, Alaska August 10, 2022 IT APPEARING THAT: 1. By letter dated June 27, 2022, Hilcorp Alaska, LLC (Hilcorp) requested the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (AOGCC) approve a spacing exception pursuant to 20 AAC 25.055(d) to statewide spacing regulation 20 AAC 25.055(a) and Rule 3 of CO 701C to allow Pearl 8 and Pearl 9exploration wellsto be drilled, completed, tested, and produced in the Pearl Undefined Gas Pool and Ninilchik Beluga/Tyonek Gas Pool within 1,500 feet of a property line where the owners and landowners are not the same on both sides of the line, within 1,500 feet from the exterior boundary of the Affected Area of Conservation Order 701C, Cook Inlet Basin, Kenai Peninsula Borough, Alaska, and within 3,000 feet to any well drilling to or capable of producing from the same pool. 2. Pursuant to 20 AAC 25.540, the AOGCC tentatively scheduled a public hearing for August 9, 2022. On July 7, 2022, the AOGCC published notice of the opportunity for that hearing on the State of Alaska’s Online Public Notice website and on the AOGCC’s website, electronically transmitted the notice to all persons on the AOGCC’s email distribution list and mailed printed copies of the notice to all persons on the AOGCC’s mailing distribution list. On July 10, 2022, the AOGCC published the notice in the Anchorage Daily News. 3. Hilcorp sent, by certified mail, notice of the application to all owners, landowners, and operators of all properties within 3,000 feet of the entire Pearl 8 and 9 well paths and provided the notice, addresses to which the notices were delivered, and certified mail receipts to AOGCC. 4. No request for a public hearing was received. The tentatively scheduled public hearing was vacated on August 01, 2022. 5. Hilcorp’s application for revision provided sufficient information upon which to make an informed decision on its request. PURPOSE AND NEED FOR THIS ORDER: Well spacing regulations protect the oil and gas rights of adjacent landowners and maximize resource recovery by establishing default limits on how close, under the land's surface, oil and gas wells can be to each other and to property lines where ownership changes hands. These limits are set forth in a regulation, 20 AAC 25.055. Operators must abide by the default well spacing limits (referred to as statewide spacing requirements) unless they apply for, and obtain, an exception to those limits. Although exceptions to the default well spacing requirements are not unusual, Conservation Order 701D August 10, 2022 Page 2 of 4 AOGCC carefully evaluates each application, and typically grants them only when actual geologic conditions demonstrate that the proposed subsurface location of a well is necessary to reach otherwise unreachable oil or gas and that both the rights of adjacent landowners and underground drinking water can be protected. As a general matter, AOGCC does not have extensive authority over surface impacts such as noise, emissions, or construction. FINDINGS: 1. Hilcorp is operator for the proposed onshore (offshore targeted)Pearl 8 and Pearl 9 exploration wells located within Kenai Peninsula Borough, on the east side of the Cook Inlet Basin near Ninilchik, Alaska: Pearl 8 Exploration Well: Surface Location: Non-Unit Tract 243 (100% Private Ownership) X: 203,138.82’ Y: 2,225,693.26’ (100% Hilcorp WI) Section 23, T01S, R14W, S.M., AK Well Path: Non-Unit Tracts 243 & 375 (100% Private); Unit Tracts 8 (State) & 165 (Private) (100% Hilcorp WI) Sections 14 & 23.

The proposed Pearl 8 and 9 wells will be governed by both statewide spacing rules and the Ninilchik field pool rules specified in CO 701C. Therefore, statewide spacing regulation 20 AAC 25.055(a) and Rule 3 of CO 701C are controlling. 3. In addition, 20 AAC 25.055(a)(4) provides: If gas has been discovered, the drilling unit for the pool is a government quarter section; not more than one well may be drilled to and completed in that pool on any government quarter section; a well may not be drilled or completed closer than 3,000 feet of any well drilling to or cap able of producing from the same pool. 4. The well path of Pearl 8 is located on three private oil and gas leases and State of Alaska lease (ADL0384372). The drilling location is on Hilcorp-owned surface and privately-owned Conservation Order 701D August 10, 2022 Page 3 of 4 subsurface. The surface hole is located outside of the Affected Area of CO 701C. The bottom hole location for Pearl 8 is on ADL0384372 within the affected Area of CO 701C and the Ninilchik Unit. 5. The well path of Pearl 9 is located entirely on private oil and gas leases. The drilling location is on Hilcorp-owned surface and privately-owned subsurface. The surface hole is located outside of the Affected Area of CO 701C. The bottom hole location for Pearl 9 lies on private oil and gas minerals within the Affected Area of CO 701C and the Ninilchik Unit. 6. Following the completion ofPearl 8and9wellsand prior to bringing the wellsonline, Hilcorp plans to submit to the Department of Natural Resources (DNR), Division of Oil and Gas, an application to adjust the Ninilchik Unit and its corresponding Participating Area (PA) to include any lands reasonably estimated to be productive (or form a separate Unit and PA). Hilcorp further proposes that production be allocated in accordance with DNR’s Unit and PA decision, that production only commence when a state-approved PA is in place, and that a copy of the State decision and PA allocation schedule will be provided to AOGCC, prior to commencement of production. 7. Hilcorp proposes to allocate royalties to all leased owners/landowners based on their tract allocation percentages, mineral ownership, and lease royalty shown on the approved PA allocation schedule.Hilcorp will establish and maintain, without costs to the non-participating owners/landowners, a single, interest-bearing escrow account for the non-participation owners/landowners, and will provide documentation to AOGCC that the Escrow Account has been established (see more details in Hilcorp’s Application for Spacing Exception). 8. The estimated top of Pearl Undefined Pool in Pearl 8 and 9 is 1,500’ MD. The actual TPH could easily vary from the drilling prognosis, anywhere between 1,500’ to 9,602’or 9,538’ MD (BHL), respectively. 9. Pearl 8 and 9 target unproven reserves in the Beluga and Tyonek formations within the Pearl Undefined Gas Pool (outside the unit) and within the Ninilchik Beluga/Tyonek Pool. These drilling objectives cannot be reached by conforming to applicable statewide spacing regulations because of the narrow, discontinuous, and lenticular nature of the reservoir sands and their most prospective locations on the subsurface structure. 10. If operated as required, drilling, testing, completion, and regular production of the Pearl 8 and 9 wells will not cause waste or result in an increased risk of fluid movement into freshwater. CONCLUSIONS: 1. An exception to the well spacing provisions of 20 AAC 25.055 is necessary to allow drilling, completion, testing and regular production of the Pearl Undefined Gas Pool and Ninilchik Beluga/Tyonek Gas Pool in the Pearl 8 and 9 exploration gas wells, in order to maximize ultimate resource recovery. 2. Granting an exception to the well spacing provisions of 20 AAC 25.055 for Pearl 8 and 9 will not result in waste or jeopardize correlative rights of adjoining or nearby owners, is based on sound engineering and geoscience principles, and will not result in an increased risk of fluid movement into freshwater. 3. No production may occur absent AOGCC approval of allocation of production. In addition, Hilcorp will establish and maintain, without costs to the non-participating owners/landowners, a single, interest-bearing escrow account for the non-participation owners/landowners and will provide documentation to AOGCC that the Escrow Account has been established. Conservation Order 701D August 10, 2022 Page 4 of 4 NOW THEREFORE IT IS ORDERED: The AOGCC grants Hilcorp’s June 27, 2022, application for an exception to the well spacing provisions of 20 AAC 25.055 and CO 701C Rule 3 to allow drilling of the Pearl 8and9exploration gas wellswithin thePearl Undefined Gas Pooland the Ninilchik Beluga/Tyonek Gas Pool. Hilcorp may proceed and must comply with all applicable laws and all other legal requirements. DONE at Anchorage, Alaska and dated August 10, 2022. Jeremy M. Price Daniel T. Seamount, Jr. Jessie L.

D Jeremy Price, Chair Commissioner JUL 18 AZ Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission 333 W. 7thAvenue, Ste 100 ACGG(-, Anchorage, AK 99501 Dear Commissioner Price: I have received a certified copy of Hilcorp's letter to the commission dated June 27, 2022, regarding an application for spacing exception Pearl 8 and 9 Delineation Wells, Pearl Prospect near Ninilchik, Alaska. No respomse from those to whom copies of the letter were sent is requested. However, as a close neighbor to Hilcorp's Pearl Pad 2A, I am responding nonetheless. Please DENY the spacing exception Hilcorp is requesting. 1. States determine well spacing for a reason, but I feel safe to say those of us receiving a copy of Hilcorp's letter have no idea what those reasons are. In fact, most of the letter is beyond the understanding of those of us living around Hilcorp's operations. My past attempts by email, phone, and letter to gain more information from AOGCC and the state have been responded to by the frustrating and confusing advice to call myriad agencies. There is no one individual with the state that can help us understand oil and gas operations statewide and, more importantly, in our own backyards. 2. As someone who has covered oil and gas operations in Alaska as a journalist (now retired) and an author ("Too Close to Home? Living with 'drill baby' on Alaska's Kenai Peninsula"), I am aware of numerous times Hilcorp has been fined for failing to comply with the rules governing oil and gas exploration and production in Alaska and other areas of the country. That makes me very nervous about any exception granted to them. 3. As someone who lives between two Hilcorp well pads (the nearest being Pearl Pad 2A), I already have had the beauty and solitude of the 3+ acres my daughters and 1 own that has been in my family for 4 generations shattered by the jet -like roar of flaring, the noise of drill rigs and round-the-clock related activity, increased traffic, and dust. These, as you know, aren't 9-5, five -days -a week operations. When there's activity going on, it's round the clock. The not -to -be -ignored noise sets my nerves on edge, makes my dog bark, keeps me awake at night, and raises my concerns about the safety of those of us in the area. One neighbor has even moved out of her home until things calm down, whenever that might be. 4. I am aware that in other areas of the Kenai Peninsula, homeowners have suffered the loss of property values as a result of oil and gas exploration and production. It might not be reflected in property taxes we pay, but it has reportedly made a sad difference when homeowners, out of frustration, feel forced to moved away. That causes concern about the value of my home should Hilcorp's efforts become so disruptive that my daughters and I be forced to give up this much cherished piece of family land. Without a doubt, you will respond by saying my concerns don't fall within your area of concern. However, taken together they create a scenario that explains my request that Hilcorp be granted NO exemptions. P.O. Box Ninilchik, Cc: Gov. Mike Dunleavy Lt. Gov. Kevin Meyer Sen. Gary Stevens Sen.

Box 39127 Ninilchik, Alaska RE: Pearl 8 and 9 Spacing Exceptions Application: G. Jackinsky Comments Received 070822 Mr. Jackinsky, My name is Steve Davies and I am a geologist with the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (AOGCC). The AOGCC would like to thank you for your thoughtful comments regarding Hilcorp’s application for spacing exception orders for the proposed Pearl 8 and 9 wells. Our agency tries very hard to make our processes and information available to the public as clearly and easily as possible. To begin, your comments are part of the public record for this spacing exception amendment application and a copy will be forwarded to Hilcorp’s land department to make them aware of your concerns. Hopefully that will be helpful for you. The public hearing regarding Hilcorp’s spacing exception application for the Pearl 8 and 9 wells is tentatively scheduled for 10 AM on August 9, 2022. The AOGCC would like to extend an invitation to you to formally request that this hearing be held as scheduled. This hearing will provide you the opportunity to listen to Hilcorp’s testimony, to express your concerns, and to ask questions about Hilcorp’s proposed operations. If you would like to request this hearing be held, please notify Samantha Carlisle, AOGCC’s Special Assistant, at 907-793-1223 or samantha.carlisle@alaska.gov by close of business on Thursday, July 26, 2022. Pearl 8 and 9 will classified as exploratory wells and by law nearly all information about the wells will be confidential until 25 months after the well is completed, suspended, or plugged and abandoned. So AOGCC is restricted in what we can say about those wells, but I will try to be a clear as possible while respecting confidentiality. By way of introduction, here is a brief description of AOGCC’s spacing exception process: x In the State of Alaska, spacing of oil and gas wells is controlled to protect the oil and gas rights of adjacent landowners and to prevent drilling of an excessive number of wells. x According to Hilcorp’s application, Pearl 8 and 9 will be gas wells. Statewide spacing requirements specify that gas wells are limited to: o one per governmental section (one square mile), o no closer than 1,500 feet from a property line where ownership of the below-surface gas rights changes, and o no closer than 3,000 feet to another well capable of producing from the same gas pool. x Exceptions to these requirements are sometimes needed to drill wells that cannot adhere to these rules because of special geologic conditions. x In this specific case, Pearl 8 and 9 will be drilled from a pad that already exists. In the Cook Inlet Basin, reservoir sands were commonly deposited in migrating, ancient river channels, so they are generally limited in size and are often not connected with one another. According to Hilcorp’s application, Pearl 8 and 9 target sands at locations that do not conform to statewide requirements. x AOGCC carefully evaluates every application to drill at locations such as these, granting exceptions only for wells that are necessary to discover or develop oil and gas accumulations in a safe manner that protects freshwater and the oil and gas rights of adjacent landowners. Your comments list concerns regarding Hilcorp's operations including noise and air quality. By state statute, the AOGCC regulates only below-ground drilling and production activities. AOGCC's jurisdiction does not extend to noise, emissions, and other surface disturbances. Those are regulated by agencies other than the AOGCC. However, our goal is to be as helpful to you as possible, so we spent time checking the Internet and other agencies. x Regarding noise: We checked with the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC), and they do not regulate noise. For Anchorage, Noise Ordinance AMC 15.70 regulates industrial noise sources to 80 decibels at all times.The Kenai Peninsula Borough or the local municipality likely have similar ordinances, but we have been unable to find them on the Internet. I suggest contacting the Borough and municipal offices or conducting a further search of their websites. x Regarding air quality: o AOGCC's regulations do not govern air quality. I suggest that you try contacting the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation, Division of Air Quality to view the Air Quality Control regulations and to find additional information and agency contacts. Thank you again for your comments. Please call me at 907-793-1224 or email steve.davies@alaska.gov if you have any further questions or need additional information.

Hilcorp burned the gas of bn their last well for over 10 days at a decibel far beyond what is accepted by the EPA and practically drove everyone with in a half mile half-crazy with the noise of a jet engine every day and night. Not only are humans affected by this unnecessary noise, but we have baby moose, baby cranes, baby rabbits, and lots of other animals we used to enjoy around our homes but every one of them left for quieter places after the first couple of days of that earsplitting noise. Further, it is the summer season when we have lots of company and tourists around and its pretty hard to carry on a conversation with all the noise in the background, much less have them stay very long. I'd like to see these new drilling be postponed and the local people on the adjacent lands be contacted for their input. Thank you for your consideration, Gary W Jackinsky 2 Notice of Public Hearing STATE OF ALASKA ALASKA OIL AND GAS CONSERVATION COMMISSION RE: Docket Number: CO-22-006 Hilcorp Alaska, LLC’s Spacing Exception Application for Pearl 8 & Pearl 9 Wells Hilcorp Alaska, LLC (Hilcorp) by letter received June 27, 2022, filed an application with the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (AOGCC) for an exception to the spacing requirements of 20 AAC 25.055 to drill, complete, test, and produce the Pearl 8 and Pearl 9 wells in an Undefined Gas Pool and the Ninilchik Beluga-Tyonek Gas Pool within 1,500 feet of a property line where the owners and landowners are not the same on both sides of the line, pursuant to 20 AAC 25.055(d).
