Not~ce of the hearing on the request was published in the Anchorage Daily News on December 3, 1969, pursuant to Title II, Alaska Administrative Code, Section 2009, but no protest was received. AND IT FURTHER APPEARING THAT the Committee has previously approved the use of slip joint casing after public hearing by Conservation Order No. 78, and the findings of that order are applicable to the referenced well.

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED THAT the Atlantic Richfield Company be permitted to install slip joints in the permafrost casing without cementing through the expected zone of subsidence, to fill the annulus between the surface and permafrost casing strings only up to the expected zone of subsidence and to use specially designed wellhead equipment in the Drill Site No. I, 32-7-10-15 well for protection against possible subsidence.
