The Pan American Petroleum Corporation submitted a request dated August 14, 1967 for an order extending the Middle Ground Shoal Field Rules established by Conservation Order ~44 to include other areas of the Middle Ground Shoal Field, hereinafter described. 2. The area requested for inclUsion is underlain by the same geologic feature which is productive of oil and gas within the area now subject to Conservation Order #44 and one well has been drilled to and completed in an oil pool which appears to be MGS Oil Pool G, as defined in Conservation Order #44. 3. The area requested for inclusion has similar structural, stratigraphic, and reservoir relationships and indicates that at least one accumulation of oil is common to the area defined in Conservation Order #44. 4. NOtice of hearing on the petition was published in the Ancho'rage Daily News on August 22, 1967, pursuant to Section 2012 of the Alaska Oil and Gas Conserva- tion Regulations, but no protest for hearing was received. AND IT FURTHER APPEARING that the hereinafter described area should be included in the general area to be covered by most of the rules set forth in Conservation Order #44.

Alaska Oil & Gas Conservation Committee 3001 Porcupine Drive Anchorage, Alaska 995041 Dear Mr. Marshall: Re: Application for approval to donvert MGS 17595 No. J "EFG" from production to water injection service, in accordance with the. '. provisions of Rule 6 of Conservation Order NO. 44 ~,and for an exception to the commingling provisions of Conser~ration Orders No. 44 and No. 53 for MGS 17595 Well N%~6 to permit commingling ofoil and gas produced from MGS Oil Pool "A" with oiI and gas produced from MGS Oil Pool "BCD". .. On behalf, of' the Chakachatna Group of companies, we request administrative ,..._z -.~-~ ~ ' ........ w:- ' i1,'; ; ' approval by the Alaska Conservation Committee of the captioned Application. Shell is the operator for the only other affected parties. A copy of Shell's letter indicating no objection is a part of this Application. The waterfl, ogding program for the "EFG" interval on Lease 17595 needs to be supplemented by additional water injection capacity which can be efficiently provided by 17595 Well No. 4 located in the sW/4 NW/4 of Section 31-T9N-R12W. Injection Well 17595 No. 12 "G" has a 4,000 barrel per day injection rate, and No. 14 "G" can accommodate 2,000 BWPD for a total of 6,000 BWPD. Since No. 12 is a lease line well, the effective "G" zone injection on Lease 17595 is only 4,000 BWPD. In terms of the anticipated gain from the waterflood, it is desirable that about 60 to 70% of available water be injected into the "G" zone. This would be an injection rate in the range of 12,000'barrels per day. The "EFG" section in Well No~ 4 is expected to provide a high injection capacity, at least 6,000 barrels per day. This would bring the total injection into the "G" zone to 12,000 barrels per day which, together with 6,000 into the "BCDEF", and 2,000 into the "A", would account for the full injection capacity of the system. ¢ March 7, 1973 Page 2 File: LLH-119-986. 511 Well No. 4 is currently on artificial lift by gas lifting. The "A" .z6ne, Which is now commingled with the "EFG", will be squeezed with'cement prior.to installing the injection tubing and commencing water injection operations. The well contains adequate casing which has been cemented but will be tested further before using it as an injection well. Ail injection operations ~will be carried on in accordance with the provisions of Conservation Order No. 44..Producing wells completed in the "EFG" on Lease 17595' have reservoir' withdrawals approaching'the reservoir volume of injected water. The desired reservoir pressure increase from water- flooding has not been realized. At presenttwo wells; 17595 No. 12 and No. 14, provide the only water injection into the' "G" zone. While the injection capacity of the two wells is substantial, additional' injection into the "G" zone on Lease 17595 is needed to insure a positive withdrawal balance and provide, maximum oil recovery · from the' "EFG" producing interval, Well No. 4, when converted to injection, will. provide .this needed additional injection. MGS ·17595· Well No. 6 located in the SW/4 NW/4 Section 31,T9N-R12W, is presently completed in MGS Oil Pools "B',, "C" and "D".

Since the 7" prodUcing casing in this well imposes physical limitations on downhole producing equipment, Applicant proposes a. single 3½." tubing completion With a packer located above and a packer located below the MGS Pool "A". The Packers will Provide positive control for the. commingled .production of MGS Oil Pools "A" and "BCD" in this well. In case of extended shut down of production, the two prodUCing iniervals will be segregated. MGS Pools "A" and "BCD" will not be - produCed in MGS 17595 Well No. 4, a twin well at the same location with Well No. 6. . Commingling the "A" and "BCD" producing intervals in WellN°. 6.will provide more efficient utilization of gas lift gas and' gas lift equipment available On MGS Platform "B", whiCh Will result in more efficient oil recovery, thereby preventing waste. . .

It is respectfully requested that similar provisions be applied to production testing required at Well No. 6. Upon initial completion, a 24 hour production test will be obtained on the "BCD" and a 24 hour production March 7, 1973 Page 3 File: LLH-119-986.511 test will be obtained on the "A" and "BCD" zones commingled and the tests will be filed with the Committee. Thereafter semi-annual production tests utilizing spinner surveys will be taken and filed with the Committee. The Chakachatna and SAS companies are the owners of all leases and wells within the area covered by Conservation Orders No. 4__4. and No. ~which would be affected by the Committee's order herein and are also the owners of all leases and wells within one-half mile from the outer boundary of said area. The parties above named are therefore the only affected parties other than the State of Alaska, as Lessor, and are the only parties entitled to certified notice of the filing of this Application in accordance with Section 2154 of the Oil & Gas Con- servation Regulations. A copy of this Application has been sent by certified mail to each of said affected parties concurrent with the filing of this Application. We'respectfully request that this Applic'ation be considered by the Committee as provided in Section 2009 of the Oil. & Gas Conservation Regulations, that proper notice be given and that an order be entered, without hearing unless supported by proper protest and request, granting Applicant's request contained in this Application.

Because of the anomaly indicated by Exhibit "B" it is probable that both ADL 18746 Well No~ 1 and Well Noo 2 have encountered production in a pool which is separated from MGS Oil. Pool G, but these wells are producing from the same formation with similar reservoir characteristics and all of the available evidence (including the evidence considered by the Committee at the hearing pursuant to which Conservation Order No° 4~ was issued, which Applicant requests be made a part of the record in this matter) indicates that the formations under the area described in Paragraph I, even though they may contain separate pools, should be developed under the same Rules as apply to the pools located in these same formations and which are being developed under Conservation Order Noo 4~o Vo It is possible that some of the pools now subject to Conservation Order Noo 44 will be found to extend into the South Middle Ground Shoal Unit Ar~a0 I~ is also possible that pools encountered in wells drilled on the South Middle Ground Shoal Unit Area may extend into the area now subject to Conservation Order Noo 4b0 It is almost certain that one or both of these two possibilities will ultimately be found .to be ~the fact, but until further drilling has taken place it is impossible to. determine the southern limits of the oil pools now subject to Conservation Order No° 4~ or the northern limits of the oil pools which have been or may be encountered in wells drilled upon the South Middle Ground Shoal Unit Area0 It is therefore desirable that all of the South Middle Ground Shoal Unit Area be developed under the same Field Rules as the area which is now being develbped under Conservation Order No° ~4o VIo The extension to that part of the South Middle Ground Shoal Unit Area~ not already subject to Conservation Order Noo ~, of the Field Rules established by said Order will tend to assure the orderly development of all pools in the Middle Ground Shoal Field and cannot in any way reduce the ultimate recovery of oil or gas from any of said pools° Development and operation of the entire area under the same Field Rules will prevent waste~ protect correlative rights and avoid the drilling of unnecessary wel!s~0 RECEIVED DIVISION OF MINES & MINERAL~ ANCHORAGE.
