Third Avenue, Suite 550, Anchorage, AK 99501 ■ p 907 865-2600 SCANNED This letter is in response to your letter of October 3, 2013, received in our office on October 15, 2013, wherein the Commission directed that Forest Oil Corporation ("Forest") file a plan to bring the Lupine #1 well into compliance with AOGCC regulations. Forest respectfully submits that it believes the Lupine 41 well is, in its current status, in compliance with AOGCC regulations. Please note that a Designation of Operator application was filed by the U.S. Geologic Survey with the Commission on November 1, 2013, to change the operator of the Lupine #1 well from Forest to the U.S. Geologic Survey. Forest respectfully requests that the Commission accept the U.S. Geologic Survey's application in lieu of the filing directed by the Commission's letter of October 3. Please contact me if you have any further questions regarding this matter. Sincerely, C . 11 & Mor' g LLP David M.

Foerster Chair, Commissioner Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission - 333 West Seventh Ave. Anchorage AK 99501 Re: Lupine Unit #1 Well Federal Lease #FEDF034183 SCOW API # 50-223-20011 -00-00 PTD # 174-015 Dear Ms. Foerster: For the Commission's review and approval, enclosed please find an original and two true copies of a Designation of Operator form, and evidence of authority of the signatories thereto, completed by Forest Oil and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) pursuant to 20 AAC 25.020 for the Lupine #1 well, seeking to change the operator of record before the AOGCC from Forest Oil to the USGS. The USGS's goals in submitting the form are to formally acknowledge its responsibility for the well and to continue to use the well for geologic research and scientific purposes. As you are aware from previous correspondence with USGS, including my letter to you dated May 30, 2013, a recent records review by USGS concluded that Forest Oil and USGS likely entered into an agreement in 1975 whereby USGS assumed responsibility for the Lupine #1 well after Forest Oil had partially plugged it. However, while the parties appear to have obtained approval from the federal oil and gas management agency at the time, the Conservation Division of the USGS, for transferring operation of the well, we have not been able to locate any records indicating that the parties sought or obtained approval for the change of operator from the AOGCC's predecessor at that time. Thus, we are submitting the Designation of Operator form now to cure the record before the Commission. In your letters to myself and Kyle Parker (on behalf of Forest Oil) dated July 1 and October 3, 2013, you stated that the Commission would not approve a federal agency as an operator without a written waiver of sovereign immunity. I asked the Department of the Interior's Solicitor's Office to evaluate whether I could provide a waiver of sovereign immunity to the Commission and was advised that under federal law only Congress can waive sovereign immunity for the United States or an agency thereof. Thus, I am unable to provide such a waiver on behalf of the USGS. However, a waiver of sovereign immunity is unnecessary in this instance. Mike Gieryic of the Solicitor's Office (who testified before the Commission for BLM on January 10, 2013 regarding the NPR -A legacy wells), has concluded that, unlike the NPR -A legacy wells, federal law does not preclude the Commission from regulating USGS's operation of the Lupine #1 well. The distinction is that the NPR -A legacy wells were drilled by federal agencies (the Navy and USGS) under direction from Congress, pursuant to legislation that required the agencies to carry out a federal exploration program and which preempted the State of Alaska's laws and regulations concerning oil and gas development. No such preemption issues are presented by the Lupine #1 well, given that it was drilled by a private oil and gas company subject to a federal leasing program under the Mineral Leasing Act that recognizes states' roles in regulating private oil and gas activities on federal lands. Given the lack of preemption, a waiver of sovereign immunity would serve no purpose even if it could be provided by USGS. In sum, the USGS understands that in order to use the well for geologic research and scientific purposes we will need to maintain the well in good condition in accordance with AOGCC regulations. We also understand that when we conclude use of the well we will be required to complete the plugging and abandonment of the well in accordance with AOGCC regulations. Based on the foregoing, I respectfully request the Commission's approval of the enclosed Designation of Operator form. Sincerely, Lesli olland-Bartels Regional Director cc: Kyle W.

No change of operator form has ever been filed with and approved by the AOGCC. The Lupine #1 well appears to be in violation of AOGCC's plugging and abandonment regulations, 20 AAC 25.105 - .172. Therefore, within 30 days of receipt of this correspondence, Forest is to file with the AOGCC a plan which will bring the Lupine #1 well into compliance with AOGCC regulations no later than September 30, 2014. To the extent the USGS desires to use the Lupine #1 well, Forest and the USGS are directed to file the change of operator form required by 20 AAC 25.020. The AOGCC will not approve a federal agency as an operator without a written waiver of sovereign immunity subjecting the USGS to the state's jurisdiction on regulatory matters pertaining to the well.

The USGS is in the process of arranging for site inspection of each of these three wells listed above during the week of 23 July 2013. These site inspections will include the following: 1. Visual inspection of the well and associated site for indications of leaks from the well; 2. Functionality of entrance to the well via existing valve; 3. Performance of contemporary permafrost temperature measurements within the well bore. The contemporary permafrost temperature measurements will be conducted using standard USGS procedures that have been previously performed on these wells and those within the National Petroleum Reserve — Alaska. Upon completion of these site visits, a summary report will be provided to the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission. ►a Deputy Donal Director, U.S. Geological Survey, Alaska Region THE STATE t 7 -- GOVERNOR SEAN PARNELL Leslie Holland -Bartels Regional Director U.S. Geological Survey 4210 University Drive Anchorage, AK 99508 Kyle W.

March 19, 2013 correspondence from Forest concedes no such form was ever filed when it asserts "the State of Alaska has been on notice of the status of responsibility for the Lupine #1 Well since, at the latest, July 7, 1976." On May 30, 2013, USGS also conceded no change of operator form was filed when it advised AOGCC that "[N]either a signed agreement nor a transfer of operator notice were discovered in our records review." A change in the operator of a well is only effectuated by filing a request to do so. Any such change is not effective unless and until approved by the AOGCC in writing. The AOGCC would not approve a change of operator to a federal agency without, at a minimum, a written waiver of sovereign immunity from that agency. As a result, Forest remains the operator of record and, in turn, the entity liable for regulatory compliance on the Lupine #1 well. The responses of Forest and USGS indicate nothing more than a private agreement between those entities as to which will bear responsibility for regulatory compliance on Lupine #1. Sincerely, P416-4� Cathy P. oerster Chair RECEIVED MAY 31 2013 AOGCC United States Department of the Interior U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY OFFICE OF THE ALASKA REGIONAL DIRECTOR 4210 University Drive Anchorage, Alaska 99508 htta://a laska.usimeov May 30, 2013 Cathy P. Foerster Chair, Commissioner Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission 333 West Seventh Ave. Anchorage, AK 99501-3572 Re: Lupine Unit #1 Well Federal Lease #FEDF034183 fAAAW API 4 50-223-20011-00-00 PTD # 174-015 Dear Commissioner Foerster: By letter dated May 1, 2013, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) indicated that we were nearing completion of the review of records in response to your January 9, 2013 letter discussing Forest Oil Corporation's (Forest) belief that USGS had taken responsibility for the Lupine #1 Well for the purposes of "geologic research and scientific purposes." The USGS indicated it had discovered individual correspondences, including an unsigned draft agreement between USGS and Forest dated April 28, 1975, that when reviewed collectively suggest that USGS may have agreed to such a transfer. At that time we requested a 30 -day period to discuss these findings with appropriate Forest representatives. Lupine Unit #1 Well (LU 1) Inquiry: Neither a signed agreement nor a transfer of operator notice were discovered in our records review. Nonetheless, USGS does believe that Forest functioned in good faith and that after Forest partially plugged the well USGS agreed to take responsibility for the well based on USGS's intent to use the well for geologic research and scientific purposes. The protocol for this well, and others like it within the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska (NPR -A) (USGS-Temperature-Monitoring Wells) was to obtain temperature logs frequently after well completion as temperature patterns at depth were changing most rapidly then and in out -years as wells approached thermal equilibrium with the surrounding permafrost. Upon reaching equilibrium, units then were retained and available as part of a long-term monitoring effort to understand permafrost dynamics. It was expected that units might be logged on a decadal or greater scale given our understanding of permafrost stability at the time, or adjusted based on targeted funding or science priorities. Discovery of other records: In our efforts to locate and review archived records, the USGS has found documents for two additional wells not identified by the Commission that were plugged in a manner similar to the Lupine #1 and current NPR -A USGS-Temperature-Monitoring Wells and logged similarly to establish geothermal equilibrium. These wells are the Exxon Canning River Unit Al well (CNR1: LAT: 69.605656, LONG: -146.340367) with signed agreement dated 1974, and the Mobil Echooka Unit 1 well (EBI: LAT: 69.399906, LONG -148.271897) with signed agreement dated 1972. CNR1 was logged in 1974, 1975, 1979, 1981; EBI in 1973, 1975, 1981. Current Status of LU I, CNRI and EBI: All three of these wells were drilled on what was federal land at the time, now State land, under the regulation of the USGS Conservation Division whose responsibilities were transferred to the BLM during reorganization of federal oil and gas leasing programs in 1982. Temperature logging agreements were signed by the USGS Geologic Division and oil companies to allow USGS to use the wells for scientific purposes in support of that oil and gas leasing effort but were not transferred to BLM and remain under the administration of the USGS. These wells have not been logged since equilibrium, unlike NPR -A USGS Temperature Monitoring Wells that were logged under special NPR -A funding into the mid -1990's. The USGS Cryospheric Studies project since 2002 and the USGS Alaska Region (2012) currently fund the deep borehole monitoring program to assess deep permafrost status that includes the NPR -A USGS Temperature Monitoring Wells. However, these three wells have not been included in the program to date. The USGS wishes to retain LU 1, CNRI, and EBI in a state allowing for geologic research and scientific purposes should the Commission agree that the integrity of the wells does not pose environmental concerns. The USGS would include these wells in the active USGS Cryospheric Studies Project. The location of these three wells will provide the USGS and State of Alaska with new information about the status of permafrost warming on State lands east of NPR -A to the border of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR), a zone of important energy and infrastructure consideration for the State. The current NPR -A USGS Temperature Monitoring Wells have shown significant surface warming of permafrost (example logs included). How lands less influenced by the Chukchi Sea and more influenced by the Beaufort Sea may vary in their permafrost changes is unclear. USGS does maintain surface and soil meteorological stations across Federal lands and into ANWR, but these data do not tell us how the deep permafrost of interest to oil and gas production infrastructure discussions is changing or may change into the future. Current and Proposed USGS Actions: The USGS has recently conducted aerial reconnaissance of these three wells and we include photography and copies of logging and other relevant records for your examination. As a result of our records review and this notification to you, we are also scheduling an on the ground examination of the wells to conduct integrity tests. We understand that we will need to submit notices to and potentially obtain appropriate authorizations from AOGCC before conducting the tests. After your review of these materials I would like to schedule a meeting to discuss these new findings and proposed actions with the Commission.

API # 50-223-20011-00-00 PTD # 174-015 Dear Ms. Foerster: By letter dated January 31, 2013, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) indicated that it was reviewing records in response to the suggestion by Forest Oil Corporation (Forest) that USGS had taken responsibility for the Lupine #I well for the purposes of "geologic research and scientific purposes." I also followed up by phone with you to clarify that wells within NPR -A originally under USGS management were transferred to the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in the early 1980's. USGS retained research interests only. However, any potential responsibility for agreements USGS might have developed in that same 1970's time frame for wells outside of current federal lands, such as Lupine, remained with the USGS and were not transferred over to the BLM during Reagan Administration reorganization. There has been some confusion over that topic in several correspondences. I indicated that USGS was doing due diligence to locate and recover any documents from the 1970's and beyond that would inform our discussions of accountability. I personally apologize for the length of time this process has required. Despite significant effort invested by numerous USGS staff here and in California, Denver, and Washington DC, USGS has been unable to locate an executed version of an agreement between the USGS and Forest for transfer of responsibility for the Lupine #1 well. Nor has USGS found records from Forest to AOOCC indicating a change of operator form was filed. However, USGS has recently discovered individual correspondences, including an unsigned draft agreement between USGS and Forest dated April 28, 1975, that when reviewed collectively suggest that USGS may have agreed to such a transfer. We would like an opportunity to discuss these findings with appropriate Forest representatives and request a 30 day period in which to do SO. Enclosed herewith, I am forwarding records I have located thus far for the Lupine #1 well, which date from the 1970-1980 time frame. Sincerely, Leslie olland-Bartels Regional Director Encl.

Specifically, Forest has not plugged the surface of the well, installed a well abandonment marker, and obtained a location clearance for Lupine Unit #1. AOGCC requested that within 60 days Forest provide "either proof that the well was properly plugged and abandoned or a plan and schedule for doing so." Failure to properly plug and abandon Lupine Unit 41 is a violation of AOGCC regulations. 20 AAC 25.112(d), 20 AAC 25.120, and 20 AAC 25.170. AOGCC correspondence with Forest and Federal government agencies —Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) — has confirmed the physical well status for Lupine Unit #1. There is no dispute that the well was partially plugged in 1975 with cement at approximately 1700 feet below ground level and final surface plugging and abandonment has not been completed.' Forest asserts the well was not properly abandoned in accordance with an agreement with the USGS so the well could be used for the purpose of geologic research and scientific testing. 1 Letter from Patton -Boggs LLP dated March 25, 2009 Notice of Violation — Lupine Unit #I April 23, 2013 Page 2 of 3 Forest's March 19, 2013 response to AOGCC declined to provide plans for completing the plugging and abandonment, and instead reiterated information Forest deems "conclusive proof' that the Federal government (BLM and USGC) are responsible to plug and abandon the Lupine Unit #1. Forest is the operator of record for the Lupine Unit 41 well. No change of operator form has ever been filed with the AOGCC. Both BLM and USGS deny responsibility to plug and abandon the well. Further, Forest has failed to provide any data collected from Lupine Unit #1 that demonstrates the well is in active use for geologic research and scientific study and is mechanically sound. The BLM has no record of data ever being collected from the well or any information concerning the active use for geologic or scientific purposes. The failure to demonstrate utility is criterion for requiring abandonment of Lupine Unit # 1. Within 14 days of receipt of this letter, Forest shall provide to AOGCC an Application for Sundry Approvals, Form 10-403, with detailed plans for completing the plugging and abandonment operations for Lupine Unit #1 in accordance with 20 AAC 25.112(d), 25.120, and 25.170. A calendar of specific milestones must be provided with the Sundry application. The AOGCC reserves the right to pursue further enforcement action should Forest not comply with the provisions of this notice of violation as provided by 20 AAC 25.535.

We write in response to your letter of January 10, 2013, regarding the status of the Lupine Unit #1 Well. We have written to the AOGCC previously about the Lupine Unit #1 Well, by letters dated November 9, 2012, and March 25, 2009, which we incorporate here by reference. Your letter asserts that Forest is the designated operator of the Lupine Unit #1 Well, that Forest bore the responsibility of filing a form notifying the Commission of any change in operator, and that no such form was filed. Your letter concludes by stating that, "[i]f USGS does not accept responsibility Forest Oil Corporation will need to provide documentation to the AOGCC proving that the AOGCC was notified in writing as to the transfer of the well." With all due respect, and as we explained in our letter of March 25, 2009, the State of Alaska has been on notice of the status of responsibility for the Lupine Unit #1 Well since, at the latest, July 7, 1976. That is the date of a well site inspection report by the State of Alaska, Division of Oil and Gas (copy attached for your convenience). At that point in time, the AOGCC did not exist, and the functions now performed by the AOGCC were performed by the former Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Committee, which was then part of the Division of Oil and Gas ("Division"). This inspection report was authored by Mr. Lonnie Smith, Petroleum Engineer, and addressed to Mr. Hoyle Hamilton, Acting Director of the Division. Mr. Smith reported to Mr. Hoyle (who acknowledged receipt of the report by initialing the report by his name) that the well "is a geothermal observation well" and that "the agency of the federal government that is doing this research work [i.e., the U.S. Geological Survey ("USGS")] accepts the responsibility of the final plugging of the well if and when it is necessary." The use of this well by the USGS as a scientific observation well is confirmed by several other documents in the well file, which we also summarized in our March 25, 2009, letter. Moreover, there is no record in the well file of Crowell & Moring LLP ■ www.crowelt.com ■ Washington, DC ■ New York ■ Los Angeles ■ Orange County - London ■ Brussels Ms. Cathy Foerster March 19, 2013 Page 2 the Division objecting to or otherwise disputing or refusing to accept USGS' responsibility for the final plugging of the well. Mr. Smith's report is conclusive proof of actual notice to and knowledge by the AOGCC's predecessor agency of the change in operatorship and responsibility for the final plugging and abandonment of this well. The AOGCC cannot now deny the actual notice it received some 35 - plus years ago. Further, AOGCC's past and present knowledge is not extinguished simply because USGS may now find it convenient to deny its responsibility for the well. If you have any further questions regarding this matter, please contact me at your convenience. Sincerely. Crowell & Moring LLP r Kyle W.

It was very well cleaned up. The only thing showing at all was a slight discoloration in several areas of the surface puddles :of water..and ice, due to surface gaud that had pushed through the gravel from the pit area when it was filled. This was of no consequence even on the southeast corner where some had even run off of the pad area and onto the tundra. It appeared to be ligosulfinate mud in very slight amounts. As can be seen .in Photo No..59 the gravel is cobble - stony so that pad is very well back -bladed ansmooth for the size of gravel that was available. The reason for the valve and bull plug on top of.the P&A marker is that this is a geothermal observation well with.the hole.l eft open to -approximately 1700' so that USGS personnel from Menlo Park, California can make temperature observations of the permafrost zone in this area. It is my understanding that the agency of the federal gavernment that is doing this research work accepts � the responsibility of the final -plugging of the well if and when it is neces- sary. I found no problem with the acceptance of this location as it is because it is very well cleaned up and cared for, however I am sure that because of its classification as a temperature.observation well that perhaps it will fall into a special category as far as approval. goes by USGS. We have had no further correspondence on this well since the inspection. This was the 10th of 14 well locations visited on a joint inspection with USGS and BLM of federal leases which are due to become state leases_ We all agreed that this location was„i.naa very good and acceptable condition. We departed this location at 8:35 AM, hedding for the Amoco Aufeis. . Attachment LCS zbJm 01/31/2013 17:24 9077867040 AK REX OFC United States Department of the Interior U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY.'

According to the AOGCC's records, Forest Oil is the designated operator for the Lupine Unit #1 well. Forest Oil bore the responsibility of filing a form to notify the AOGCC of any change in the operator. No such form was filed. On January 9, 2013, the AOGCC sent a letter (attached) to the U.S. Geological Survey inquiring as to whether USGS will accept responsibility for the Lupine Unit #1 well. If USGS does not accept responsibility Forest Oil Corporation will need to provide documentation to the AOGCC proving the AOGCC was notified in writing as to the transfer of the well.

In correspondence dated November 9, 2012, Forest advised that ownership of and responsibility for the LU #1 had been transferred to the USGS / BLM in April 1975. According to Forest, USGS uses LU #1 for geologic research and scientific testing. Within the next 30 days, please provide copies of all data collected from this well, as well as all information demonstrating that the well is in active use for geologic research and scientific testing and is mechanically sound or advise that Forest's characterization of ownership is in error.

Please find enclosed our letter of March 25, 2009, responding to your initial communication with Forest on this topic dated January 29, 2009. In the enclosure, we shared with you the information we developed then regarding the status of the Lupine Unit 1 well, and specifically regarding the current operator of the well, the U.S. Geological Survey ("USGS"). Since our exchange of correspondence in early 2009, we have found no information indicating that Forest assumed operatorship of the well after the transfer of the well to the USGC in April 1975.

We write in response to your letter to Forest of January 29, 2009. Your Ietter enclosed a copy of the Commission's revised regulations regarding suspended wells. Thank you for this information. Your letter also requested that Forest verify the information presented on the attached spreadsheet on suspended and long-term shut --in wells operated by Forest or a predecessor company, identifying the Lupine No. 1 well. Your letter requested a response from Forest by April 1, 2009. This will update you on Forest's review of the status of the Lupine No. 1 well. In summary, the information concerning the Lupine No. 1 well appears accurate, except insofar as the current operator of the well. The Lupine No. I well was drilled on Federal Lease No. FEDF034183, spudded June 19, 1974. In April 1975, Forest decided and intended to plug and abandon the Lupine No. 1 well. At that time, Forest was approached by the U.S. Geological Survey C'U.S.G.S."), which proposed to use the Lupine No. 1 well for purposes of geologic research and scientific testing. Forest entered into an agreement with the U.S.G.S. whereby the U.S.G.S. assumed complete custody, control and liability for the Lupine No. 1 well, including the duty of surface plugging and abandonment of the well. In April 1975, Forest had plugged the well to approximately 1,700 below the surface, and the U.S.G.S. wanted to leave the upper portion of the well open to conduct its research. Consistent with its agreement with the U.S.G.S., Forest did not complete the final surface plugging of the well, and Forest turned over custody and responsibility for the well to the U.S.G.S. on or about April 1975. Forest has had no further involvement with the well since that time. Washington DC 1 Northern Virginia I New Jersaq I Now York l Dallas I Denver I Anchorage i Doha, Oatar PAHON ME Ai10iIIIs II IIh Commissioner Foerster March 25, 2009 Page 2 The U.S.G.S.'s agreement with Forest is evidenced by a letter to Forest by Rodney Smith of the U.S.G.S. dated April 28, 1975, proposing the agreement with Forest for the Lupine No. 1 well. Mr. Smith's April 1975 letter includes a draft of the proposed agreement. Unfortunately, Forest has not vet located the final, executed copy of the agreement, but its efforts to do so are continuing. Nevertheless, other records Forest has been able to locate confirm the agreement with the U.S.G.S. regarding the Lupine No. 1 well. A well Abandonment Report dated April 29, 1975, reports on the final disposition of the well surface, at the direction of the U.S.G.S.: "Displaced mud with water from 1,700' to surface. Displaced water from 1,200' to surface with diesel as requested by the U.S.G.S." The Abandonment Report was received by the Commission on May 2, 1975. The Well Completion Log reflects that on or about April 25 through May 1, 1975, the BOPE equipment and wellhead were removed and that a standard U.S.G.S. abandonment marker was installed. The Well Completion Log was received by the Commission on May 8, 1975. There is also a well inspection report dated July 7, 1976, by Lonnie C. Smith of the State of Alaska, Division of Oil and Gas. Mr. Smith visited the well site on September 10, 1975, on a joint inspection with representatives of the U.S.G.S. and the U.S. Bureau of Land Management CTLM'�. The inspection of the Lupine No. 1 well site was part of a tour of some 14 well locations on federal leases slated to become state leases. Mr. Smith's report confirms that the Lupine No. 1 was left open to approximately 1,700 feet as a geothermal observation well used by the U.S.G.S. Mr. Smith also confirms the agreement of the U.S.G.S. to assume responsibility for final plugging and abandonment of the Lupine No. 1 well: It is my understanding that the agency of the federal government that is doing this research work [i.e., U.S.G.S.] accepts the responsibility of the final plugging of the well if and when it is necessary. Overall, Mr. Smith reported that the well site was "very well cleaned up and cared for" and in a "very good and acceptable condition." Thus, the report attached to your letter of January 29, 2009, on the status of the Lupine No. 1 as an observation well since April 1975 is accurate to Forest's knowledge and belief. Forest notes, however, that Forest is not the operator of the well and has not been the operator of the well since April 1975. The U.S.G.S. assumed the operation and responsibility for the well at that time, before the lease was later transferred to the State of Alaska.

Suspended wells (a) If allowed under 20 AAC 25.105. the commission will, upon application by the operator under (b) of this section, approve the suspension of a well if (1) the well (A) encounters hydrocarbons of sufficient quality and quantity to indicate that the well is capable of producing in paying quantities, as reasonably demonstrated by well tests or interpretive formation evaluation data; for purposes of this paragraph, "paying quantities" means quantities sufficient to yield a return in excess of operating costs; (B) is a candidate for redrilling; (C) has potential value as a service well; or (D) is located on a pad or platform with active producing or service wells; and (2) the operator justifies to the commission's satisfaction why the well should not be abandoned, and, if the well is not completed, why the well should not be completed; sufficient reasons include the (A) unavailability of surface production or transportation facilities; (B) imprudence of security maintenance of a completed well in a shut-in status; (C) need for pool delineation and evaluation to determine the prudence of pool development. (b) An Application for Sundry Approvals (Form 10-403) must be submitted to and approved by the commission before plugging operations are begun in a well for which suspension is proposed, except that oral approval may be obtained from the commission if it is followed within three days by the submission of an Application for Sundry Approvals for final approval by the commission. Approval will be conditioned as necessary to protect freshwater and hydrocarbon resources. An Application for Sundry Approvals must include (1) the reason for suspending the well and information showing that the applicable criteria for suspension under (a) of this section have been met; and (2) a statement of proposed work, including (A) information on abnormally geo-pressured strata; (B) the manner of placement, kind, size, and location, by measured depth, of existing and proposed plugs; (C) plans for cementing, shooting, testing, and removing casing; (D) if the Application for Sundry Approvals is submitted after beginning work, the name of the representative of the commission who provided oral approval, and the date of the approval; and (E) other information pertinent to suspension of the well. (c) At the operator's request accompanying the submission, information submitted to show that the applicable criteria for well suspension under (a) of this section have been met will be kept confidential (1) for the period specified under AS 31.05.035 (c), if the information is described in 20 AAC 25.071(b) ; or (2) for the time that the information has value as a trade secret, if the information is not described in 20 AAC 25.071(b) but is determined by the commission to constitute a trade secret under AS 45.50.940 . (d) A well approved for suspension must be plugged in accordance with the requirements of 20 AAC 25.112, except that the requirements of 20 AAC 25.112(d) do not apply if (1) a wellhead is installed or the well is capped with a mechanical device to seal the opening; and (2) a bridge plug capped with 50 feet of cement or a continuous cement plug extending 200 feet within the interior casing string is placed at or above 300 feet below the surface; the commission will waive the requirement of this paragraph for a development well drilled from a pad or platform, if the commission determines that the level of activity on the pad or platform assures adequate surveillance of that development well. (e) Until a suspended well has been abandoned or re-entered, the operator shall maintain the integrity of the location, provide the commission with a well status report every five years, and clear the location in accordance with 20 AAC 25.170(a) (2) or (b) or with 20 AAC 25.172(c) (2) or (d), as applicable.

Reference: Issuance of Permanent Closure Approval for Inactive Reserve Pits locateda/[S/o, Sunrise Unit #1 on the Kenai Peninsula and Lupine Unit #1 on the North Slope Dear Mr. Amundsen: ~ {N~ ~l;~'-"~ %-- The Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (ADEC) has completed review and public notice for permanent closure approval of the reserve pits at Sunrise Unit # 1 and Lupine Unit # 1. The closure applications provided the required information describing the history of the reserve pit(s), the present condition of the reserve pits(s), results of any required water sampling and an assessment of the potential risks posed by the drilling waste to human health and the environment. At these locations, the reserve pits are backfilled and there is no exposed drilling waste. ADEC coordinated field inspections of the sites with the appropriate land managers. Public notice requesting comments on the closure requests was published September 20 and 2 I, 2001 in the Anchorage Daily News and posted on the state web site September 21,2001. No public comments objecting to closure approval were received in response to this public notice. ADEC has determined that the reserve pit at this site meets the Closure requirements of 18 AAC 60.440. Closure Approval Under authority of 18 AAC 60.440 (j), ADEC grants permanent closure approval to Forest Oil Corporation for the inactive reserve pits at the following sites: Well Name APl Number MTRS Landowner Sunrise Lake Unit # 1 50-133-20210-00 Sec. 15, TaN Raw, SM USFWS Lupine Unit # 1 50-223-20011-00 Sec. 3, T4S, R 14E,UM DNR Forest Oil Corporation Mr. John Amundsen October 23, 2001 Page 2 of 2 Terms and Conditions This permanent closure approval is subject to the following terms and conditions: 1) In accordance with 18 AAC 60.440(1), the Department will require additional investigation, assessment, monitoring or remediation if new information regarding conditions at the reserve pit facilities indicates that further actions are necessary to protect human health or the environment. 2) The approval granted by this letter is for the inactive drilling waste reserve pit(s) only. Closure for the pad as a whole (if required) must be coordinated between the owner/operator and the appropriate land owner/manager. Any person who disagrees with any portion of this decision may request an adjudicatory hearing in accordance with 18 AAC 15.200-310. The request should be mailed to the Commissioner of the Department of Environmental Conservation, 555 Cordova Ave. Anchorage, AK 9950 I. If a hearing is not requested within thirty (30) days of the date of this letter, the right of appeal is waived. If an adjudicatory hearing is requested and granted, this decision remains in full effect during the adjudicatory process.
