The exception would permit the running of a static bottomhole pressure survey in lieu of a transient pressure survey on the well. · Notice of public hearing was published in the Anchorage Times on April 27, 1983. · FINDINGS: There were no protests to the application. · The Prudhoe Bay Unit well No. DS 4-5 is a key well in the pressure mQnitoring program for the field and, as such, requires la Semi-annual transient pressure survey. · · The Prudhoe Bay Unit well No. DS 4-5 has been shut-in since April, 1982 due to fl°wline corrosion. There have been many ~.pres sure surveys run on this key well and it is an-~id~'eal well to give an accurate average reservoir pressure for the area. CONCLUSIDN: I · The referenced well has been shut-in a sufficient length of time so that a static bottomhole pressure survey will provide the required pressure information to monitor reservoir performance. Conservation Order No. 189 Page 2 May 9, 1983 NOW THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED THAT: · Prudhoe Bay Unit well No. DS 4-5, a key well, may be surveyed by a bottomhole static pressure method for the survey required in the first half of 1983.

Notice is hereby given that ARCO ALASKA, INC. has requested the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission, to issue an order granting an exception to Rule 6(c) of Conservation Order No. 165 for the Prudhoe Bay Unit well DS 4-5, designated as a key well. The exception is requested because the well is shut-in due to flowline corrosion. Parties who may be aggrieved if the order is issued granting the reference exception 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 request for a hearing. The place of filing is the Alaska Oil and Gas Conserva- tion Commission, 3001 Porcupine Drive, Anchorage, Alaska 99501. If such a protest is timely filed, a hearing on the matter will be held at the above address at 9:00 AM on May 9, 1983 at which time protestants and others may be heard. If no such protest is timely filed, the Commission will consider the issuance of the order without a hearing.

Describe Proposed or Completed Operations (Clearly state all pertinent details and give pertinent dates, including estimated date of starting any proposed work, for Abandonment see 20 AAC 25.105-170). Conservation Order 165, rule 6-c requires a semi-annual transient pressure survey be conducted on each key well. ARCO Alaska, Inc. requests a waiver to run a static bottomhole pressure survey on key well 4-5 in lieu of the transient pressure survey required for the first half of 1983. Permission was granted to run static surveys in lieu of both 1982 semi-annual transient pressure surveys. The well remains inoperable due to flowline corrosion. Well 4-5 is the preferred well for this semi-annual survey because it has been the key well since start-up and numerous pressure surveys have been run. The well has been shut-in since April 1982; therefore, the recorded pressure should be an accurate average reservoir pressure for the area. 14.
