The referenced rule requires that conductor casing be set and cemented at least 75 feet below the island surface for each well drilled. · Notice of the request was published in the Anchorage Times on May 16, 1986. 3. There were no protests to the requested waiver. FINDINGS: · · Structural casing has been driven to at least 75 feet below the island surface for all wells on the Main Production Island (MPI) and the Satellite Drilling Island (SDI). The primary use of the conductor casing is for instal- lation and use of a diverter system while drilling the hole for the Surface casing. · Following the drilling of one well on each island, the requirement for a diverter system on all future wells to be drilled from either the MPI and SDI was waived by letter dated April 25, 1986. · Development and service wells have been drilled from each island without indication of shallow surface gas. Conservation Order No. 216 Page 2 June 2, 1986 CONCLUSIONS: A Conductor casing is no longer necessary to drill wells from either the MPI or the SDI. NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED: Rule 4(b) of Conservation Order No. 202 is amended to read as follows: Rule 4(b) Conductor casing to provide for proper anchorage shall be set at least 75 feet below the island surface and sufficient cement shall be used to fill the annulus behind the pipe to the island surface. Cement fill shall be verified by observation of cement returns. The cement may be washed out or displaced to a depth not exceeding the depth of the structural casing shoe to facilitate casing removal upon well abandonment. Ail future development and service wells which are drilled from either the Main Production Island or the Satellite Drilling Island after June 2, 1986, need not have a conductor casing.

Sm.i~h ,'-Commissioner Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission Standard Alaska {i Production Company 900 East Benson Boulevar P.O. Box 196612 Anchorage, Alaska 99519.6612 (907) 564-5111 May 13, 1986 Mr. C. V. Chatterton, Chairman Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission 3001 Porcupine Drive Anchorage, Alaska 99501 Dear Mr. Chatterton: STANDARD ALASKA PRO[~ Standard Alaska Production Company hereby requests a blanket waiver to Endicott Field Rules, Conservation Order No. 202, September 20, 1984, Rule 4,b Casing and Cementing Requirements, for all wells drilled in the Endicott Field, Duck Island Unit. Current drilling plans specify that a 20" conductor casing is set and cemented at 390' followed by 13-3/8" sur- face casing which is cemented to surface from 2500'. Structural casing has been driven to 75' and 120' below the island surface for all wells on the Main and Satellite Islands respectively. Standard is requesting a waiver of the requirement to set conductor casing in lieu of utilizing the 13-3/8" surface pipe to provide for proper anchorage. The referenced regulation requires a conductor casing to be set at least 75' below the island surface and cemented to surface. The primary use of the conductor is to provide support for subsequent casing strings and to allow use of a diverter system while drilling the 17-1/2" hole for the 13-3/8" surface pipe. Standard does not feel that the 20" conductor is essential to safely drill and control the well. Three wells have been drilled to date on the two islands without indication of surface gas or severe lost circulation. The most recent well, M-19 on the Main Produc- tion Island, used neither a 30" nor 20" diverter system but utilized a simple ri ser-flowl i ne configuration while drilling the 26" and 17-1/2" holes. Standard would like to eliminate the 20" conductors by drilling below the 30" structure pipe with a 17-1/2" bit to 2500' then cement the casing back to surface. The 13-3/8" casing will then be held in tension until the cement has had ample time to set, providing sufficient strength to allow us to nipple up well head and BOPE. RSA/em cc' R. Reiley B. L.

Commission Anchorage Notice of Public Hearing STATE OF ALASKA Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission Re: The application of STANDARD ALASKA PRODUCTION COMPANY for an Amendment to Rule 4(b) of Conservation Order No. 202 pertaining to the Endicott Oil Pool. The Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission has been requested, by letter dated May 13, 1986, to issue an order amending Rule 4(b) of Conservation Order No. 202 to allow the drilling of development wells from the Main Production Island and the Satellite Drilling Island without setting conductor casing. Data from past wells and currently drilling wells indicates the absence of shallow gas under the Islands, thus obviating the need for conductor casing to anchor diverter equipment. Parties who may be aggrieved if the referenced order is issued granting the request are allowed 15 days from the date of this publication in which to file a written protest stating in detail the nature of their aggrievement and their request for a hearing. The place of filing is the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation 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 June 18, 1986 in conformance with 20 AAC 25.540. If a hearing is to be held, interested parties may confirm this by calling the Commission's office, (907) 279-1433, after June 2, 1986. If no such protest is timely filed, the Commission will consider the issuance of the order without a hearing. Published May 16, 1986 Harry W.
