There were no protests to the application. FINDINGS: · Open hole completions are commonly used in many oil producing areas. Conservation Order No. 166 · The higher decline rates exhibited by some of the wells in the Drill Site 2 area are inconsistent with the decline rates of other wells completed in the Prudhoe Oil Pool. · It is possible that the Sadlerochit Formation is not as competent in this area of the Prudhoe Bay Field and there may be movement of the silts and fines within the formation which could impair well productivity. CONCLUSION: The requested exception will not damage the reservoir, will not be wasteful and will add to the knowledge of completion techniques for the Prudhoe Oil Pool. Conservation Order No. 164 should be cancelled. NOW, THEREFORE, it is ordered that: Conservation Order No. 164 is hereby cancelled. The Atlantic Richfield Company is exempted from the require- ments of Rule 3(f) of Conservation Order No. 145 and may complete the Prudhoe Bay Unit Well No. DS 2-14 with an open hole type of completion.

In March of this year we applied for and received an exception to Rule 3(f) of Conservation Order No. 145 for the purpose of gravel packing DS 2-14.

The Put River formation, 120' of the Sadlerochit formation within the gas cap, and the bottOm 150' of the Sadlerochit will be cored. 9-5/8" 47# L-80 & S00-95 casing will be set @ 9607'MD, 8828'ss. The casing will be cemented with + 500 sks cement (+ 1500'column). The 8½" hole belOw the 9-5/8" casing shoe to TD will be left open. Logs will be run across selected intervals. A 13-5/8' 5000 psi RSRRA BOP stack will be used. It will be pressure tested each week'& operationally tested each trip. A string of 5½" 17# L-80 tubing, packer & necessary provisions for subsurface safety equipment will be run. The packer will be set above the Sadlerochit. A non- freezing liquid will be left in all uncemented annuli within the permafrost interval. A 5000 psi WP wireline lubricator, tested to working pressure, will be utilized with all wireline work. The downhole safety valve will be installed & tested upon conclusion of job. The purpose of this "barefoot" type completion is to evaluate new completion techniques in the Sadlerochit formation that will provide less formation damage and higher produc- tion rates, especially related to formation damage decline rates. 16.SIGNEDI hereby certify,,~/~that t h;j~ .Ing.~.~ls true and correct T,TLEDistrigi~ Drillinq Enqineer DATE I~This space for State office use) COMMISSlONEa ~ IT CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL, IF ANY: DATE See Instructions On Reverse Side NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING STATE OF ALASKA Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission Conservation File No. 166 Re: The application of Atlantic Richfield Company, dated May 16, 1980, for an order granting an exception to Rule 3(f) of Conservation Order No. 145 for the Prudhoe Bay Unit No. DS 2-14 well. Notice is hereby given that the Atlantic Richfield Company has requested the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission to issue an order granting an exception to the cementing require- ments of the referenced Conservation Order for the Prudhoe Bay Unit No. DS 2-14 well, which is to be completed in the Prudhoe Oil Pool of the Prudhoe Bay Field.

The~ operator further states that since there is a high decline rate for wells drilled from Drill Site 2, this type of completion should be evaluated as a means of reduc- ing the decline rate. Parties who may be aggrieved if the reference order, is issued are allowed 10 days from the date of this publication in which to file a protest in writing, stating in detail the nature of their aggrievement and their r.equest for a hearing.
