There were no protests to the application. FINDINGS: · The Kuparuk River Formation in the Kuparuk River Field appears amenable to waterflooding and waterflooding should provide for greater ultimate recovery in the field. Conservation Order No. 182 Page 2 · Data obtained from the performance of wells in the different spacing patterns is necessary to plan for a field-wide waterflood program. · The correlative rights of all leaseholders are adequately protected. CONCLUS I ON: The requested exception will not damage the reservoir, will provide useful information for future operations and will provide for the determination of the optimal pattern for water- flooding on a pool-wide basis. NOW THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED THAT: ARCO Alaska, Inc. operator of the Kuparuk River Unit, is exempted from the requirements of Rule 3, Conservation Order No. 173 and may drill an unrestricted number of wells in the area of the Kuparuk River Field defined as Sections 5, 6, 7, 8, 15, 16, 21 and 22, TllN, R10E, U.M.

This pilot waterflood was approved by the Commission in your letter of February 8, 1982. The area includes Sections 5, 6, 7, 8, 15, 16, 21 and 22 of TllN-R10E, Umiat Meridian. We request unrestricted spacing for this area. The entire affected area and all surrounding acreage are within the participating area of the Kuparuk River Unit. Two drill sites are included in the initial water- flood to be started in December, 1982. One of these, Drill Site 1E, is highly faulted and our plans call for drilling on 40 acre spacing on Sections 16, and 80 acre spacing on Sections 15, 21, and 22. The waterflood will begin December, 1982. The denser well spacing will provide data faster for planning of the fullfield waterflood, and will also provide comparisons of sweep efficiency for the various well spacings used.
