Our adopted conventions for assigning APl numbers, permit numbers and well names did not specifically address expired or cancelled permits. This omission has caused some inconsistencies in the treatment of these kinds of applications for permit to ddll. Operators have asked us to adopt formal procedures for this class of permit application in order to prevent future database disparities. If a permit expires or is cancelled by an operator, the permit number of the subject permit will remain unchanged. The APl number and in some instances the well name reflect the number of preexisting recidlls and or muitilaterals in a well. In order to prevent confusing a cancelled or expired permit with an active well or multilateral these case sensitive well identifiers will be changed for expired and cancelled applications for permits to ddil. The APl number for this cancelled or expired permit is modified so the eleven and twelfth digits is 95. The well name for a cancelled or expired permit is modified with an appended xx. These procedures are an addendum to the APl numbering methods described in AOGCC staff memorandum "Multi-lateral (wellbore segment) Ddiling Permit Procedures, revised December 29, 1995. AOGCC database has been changed to reflect these changes to this permit.

April 28, 1982 IT APPEARI . · ~ . NG TItAT: I<atal la Tertiary Recovery Corp., by correspondence dated March 2, 1982, requested the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission to grant an exception to the statcwidc spacing regulations contained in 20 AAC 25.055 and to adopt special field rules for the Katalla Field. Notice of a public hearing was published in the Anchorage Times on March 9, 1982. A public hearing was held on April 7, 1982 at the Municipality of Anchorage Assembly Room, 3500 East Tudor Road, Anchor'age, Alaska. Testimony was presented by the applicant an'd there were no oral or written statements received. Thc hearing was held open until April 21, 1982. FINDINGS: · · · . Natural oil seeps discovered in the Katalla Area in 1896 attracted the attention of oil explorationists. Oil was firs:t discovered by drilling in the Katalla area in 1902 and oil was produced from the Katalla Field from about 1904 to 1933. Exploratory and development wells were drilled in the area without spacing regulations and thc exact location of 18+ successful wells is not certain. The location of the successful oil wells appears to be confined to a surface area of about 90 acres. Coz~servation Order No. 179 · . · · · The 90 Claim 1909 a Claim acres appear to be within the bouz~ctaries of "Oil No. 1", a 151.17 acre parcel that was patented in nd recorded in 1913. Mineral Survey 599 and Oil No. 1 appear to be synonymous. The oi OCCUF found feet b 1 accumulation in the Katalla Field appears to in fracture porosity and the successful wells oil in the i~terval occurring from 360+ to 1800+ clow the surface. There and th for th is little subsurface information on this field c available information does not appear adequate e establishment of a permanent well spacing rule. Katalla Tertiary Recovery Corp. requests permission exploit the I<atalla Field by drilling ten new wells the area of the originally developed field without spacing restrictions. to i n Some of the existing wells in the field are still leaking oil and gas in small quantities but this may still be due to natural seepage. 10. For safety and to prevent further seepage to the surface, the production casing should be cemented to the surface. 11. The nature of the accumulation indicates that low pressure blowout~ prevention equipment should prove · adequate. 12. The adoption of pool-,rules for the t<atalla Field eliminates the need to grant an exception to the state- wide spacing regulation· NOW TIIEREFORE IT IS ORI)ERED TIIAT the rules hereinafter set forth apply to the folloWing described area: Oil Claim No. 1 as recorded in Book 3 of Deeds, page 439, Cordova Recording Precinct and located principally in the NW ~ Section 31, T19S, R6E, CRM. l{ule 1. Name of the Field Tl~c field will co~tti~tuc to be k~town as thc l<atalla Fi eld. Rule 2. Definition of Pool The Katalla Oil Pool is defined as the accumulation oil that is eommoz~ to a~d occurs between the depths of 360 feet and 1800 feet under Oil Claim No. 1. of -2- Conservation O,'de- No. 179 l{ule 3. Wel 1 Spacing There is no spacing requirement for wells drilled on Oil Claim No. 1 except that the pool cannot be opened to a wellbore that is closer than 500 feet to the exterior boundary of Oil Claim No. 1. A total of ten wells may be drilled without spacing restrictions. With the'*itata obtained from the wells, thc Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission will either admin- istratively continue the unlimited spacing rule, upon request, or call for a public hca,'ing to determine the correct spacing for the further development .of the pool. Rule 4. Blowout Prevention Equipment Before drilling below the diverter system must be instal lc flow of any hydrocarbons or othe through a minimum 4" diverter li shall include either an annular or' two ram type (1000 psi WP) pr conductor casing, a flow d, capable of diverting the r fluid's from the wellbore ne. This diverter system type (1000 psi WP) preventer eventers. Rule 5. Casing and Cementing Requirements (a) For proper anchorage and to prevent an uncontrol led flow, a conductor casing shall be set at least 80 feet below thc surface and sufficient cement shall be used to fill the annulus behind thc pipe to the surface. (b) To provide sui.table and safe operating conditions, to confine liquids to the"wellbore, to prevent migration of fluids, to assure control 'of pressures encountered and to protect strata bearing fresh water, a production casing shall be set through or just above the productive interval and shall be cemented to the surface. Rule 6. Logging Requirements The operator shall log the portion of the hole below the conductor casing by a complete gamma ray-neutron log. Rule 7. Administrative Discretion Because of the paucity of subsurface information as of ti~e date of this o,'(ler, the Commissio~ by A(lmi~istr:~tive ().(lcr. ..~y ~.:~e~d a,~y ,'ule co~taine(l in this o,'der should waste appear imminent or correlative rights be in jeopardy. -3- 'Conservation Order No. 179 DONE at Anchorage, Alaska and dated April 28, 1982 C.
