The meeting was called to order by Mr. Martin Jasper., Mining Engineer, Alaska Department of Minesj, the duly authorized designee of the Director of the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission., Mr. Phil R. Holdsworth. Mr. Jasper stated that, (1) the hearing was held pursuant to the Application filed by the Union Oil Company of Cali- fornia -(The) Ohio Oil Company on April 6., 1959 for an exception to Rule 110,, Sections 110.1 and Sections 110.4., and (2) that formal Publication Notices of the Hearing had been duly made pursuant to law. It is to be here noted that formal convening of hearing was delayed until 10:30 A. M. to give an additional 30 minutes for opponents to the Application to arrive,, but none appeared. The only persons at- tending were Mr. Wm. Thompson and Mr. Harold M. Lian of the Union Oil Company of California; Mr. Richard Porter of the Sinclair Oil Company, as an observer; and Mr, Wm. E. Dyer of the Alaska Department of Lands, as an observer* Mr. Dyer was appointed recorder of the hearing. Mr. Jasper called for comments from the floor, Mr. Lian,, Alaska Division Geologist,, Union Oil Company of California, asked to be recognized and was recognized by Mr. Jasper. Mr, Lian made the following remarks: (1) The Union Oil Company of California -The Ohio Oil Company had thor- oughly explored the geologic petroleum possibilities of the Kenai Pen- insula and, as a result, the companies had determined that the area . in the vicinity of the SW 1/4 of Section 6, Range 11 West, Township 4 North., Seward Meridian, was favorable for a joint exploratory "wild- cat"' well. Accordingly, the companies made a careful examination of the surface of the area in order to find a suitable location for the drill rig. Alasl+a .Oil & Ga,s Conservation Commission Hearing at Annchor u:,ge, Alaska, April 21, 1959 (Continued) (2) Tne e_:xami.aa.4iL_ . the 6urface of the area revealed that the acre- age was raus�e,y cj ", ;S,f h was -unsuitable for supporting weight of 3ti l.. r� 4 ��;�_1e _,_�Iand� of z�;pparentiy solid ground scattered throughout 4he �,::.,� :�1..:..: ver, further z;�aination revealed that, for the most part, the sod appearing ground was merely solidified mus- keg "flo .,Lting" o--i the other muslsey. The Companies found that there was solid ground in the southwest corner of SW 1/4 of Section 6,Township 4 North, Range 11 West, Seward Meridian, which was capable of supporting exploratory operations of a drill rig. All other surrounding areas were completely unsuited because no firm sub -stratum could be found. (3) The examination of the area included tests made to a depth of 50 feet by bulldozing and other means. The examination showed that exca- vating and the filling of any other area in the vicinity of the SW if 4 of Section 6, Township 4 North, Range 11 West, Seward Meridian, would result in prohibitive costs for a wildcat venture. Therefore, Mr. Liars requested that the Alaska, Oil and Gas Conservation Commission. grant Union. Oil Company of California -The Ohio Oil Company permission to locate the proposed wildcat at a spot situated about 785 feet East and 285 feet North of the SW Corner of Section. 6, Township 4 North., Range 11 West., Seward Meridian, pursuant to -the Application filed by those companies under authority set forth in Rule 110 of the Commission's rules and Regulations. Mr. Jasper thereafter called for ~a�ay further comments, suggestions, or cib jections to the Application of Union Oil Company of California -The Ohio Oil Company. After allowing 15 minutes for receipt of such com- ments or objections, Mr. Jasper noted that no objections of any sort were received nor were any further requests for recognition made by any of the persons in attendance. A Motion for Adjourmaent was made by Mr. Richard Porter of Sinclair Oil and :Refining Company. The .Motion was duly seconded "by Mr. Wm. Thompson of the Union Oil ConTany of California and was passed unanimously-. The meeting adjourned at 11.00 A. M.
