The expected productive interval in the Granite Pt. 18742 #16 wellbore is closer than 1500 feet to a section line. Notice of 'hearing on this request was published in the Anchorage Daily News on June 1, 1989 pursuant to 20 AAC 25.540. No protests to the application were received. FINDINGS: · The Granite Point 18742 f]16 well is directionally drilled from a surface location at 2009'FSL and 1948'FWL of Section 31, TllN, RllW, Seward Meridian to a bottom hole location at 631'FNL and 1390'FEL of Section 1, T10N, R12W, Seward Meridian. · The Granite Point 18742 #16 wellbore intersects the Middle Kenai "B" sands at a location that is less than 1500 feet from a section line. · The wellbore at the Middle Kenai "B" sands horizon is more than one mile from lands with a change in ownership of oil and gas rights. Conservation Ordi..~ No. 244 June 20, 1989 Page 2 · · Pool rules have not been established governing spacing for the projected gas bearing horizon. A spacing exception to 20 AAC 25.055(a)(2) is required. CONCLUSION: Granting a spacing exception to allow entry of the Granite Point 18742 #16 well as proposed will not result in waste nor jeopar- dize correlative rights. NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED: Amoco Production Company's application for an exception to 20 AAC 25.055 for the purpose of entering and testing the Middle Kenai "B" Sands in Granite Point 18742 #16 well is approved as proposed.

Pursuant to the Commission's rules, we are enclosing, as part of this applica- tion, the required plat and a Verification and Affidavit of Mailing. Amoco Production.Company spudded the subject well November 30, 1967 and completed it on March 31, 1968. This well produced from the Middle Kenai "C" Sands until June 1972 when it was converted to water injection. The well has been shut-in since January 1987 when injection ceased. Amoco now desires to .recomplete this wellbore to the Beluga Sand. The interval of the Beluga Sand that we desire to test is found at a measured depth of approximately 4584 feet. Due to the deviated nature of this wellbore, the wellpath at this depth is closer than 1500 feet to the boundary of Section 31-TllN-RllW, S.M. Inasmuch as we would anticipate that this formation, if productive, would be productive of gas, an exception to the setback requirements of 20AAC25.055 is required. Specifically, the setback requirements of 20AAC25.055 provide that in the absence of special pool rules, exploratory gas wells shall not be closer than 1500 feet from the property boundary, where the property is considered a governmental section. As shown on the enclosed plat, the zone of interest would be found approximately 600' FWL and 1000' FSL of Section 31. A directional survey of this well was provided as an attachment to the Well Completion Report dated April 16, 1968. In support of this application, Amoco would state: 1) There are no gas well completions currently located in Section 31-TllN-RllW, S.M.; REC~.IVE~ MAY 26 AlaSka 0il &Gas C,0ns. Co.mi,nissiol~ Anchorage Alaska .Oil and Ga~"[ ,onservation Commission May 25, 1989 Page 2 2) 3) 4) Utilization of the State 18742 Well No. 16 is the most cost effective method to test the Beluga Sand for commercial gas production; The anticipated completion interval is not closer than 1,500 feet to any property boundary that would have working interest or royalty interest different than that found in Section 31; The granting of this application would prevent waste and protect correlative rights. Amoco Production Company respectfully requests that the Commission provide published notice of this matter and that if no protest and request for hearing is made within the specified time, and the Commission is in agreement with this request, a favorable order without hearing be issued.
