The referenced Rule 3 requires production casing or liner to be landed through the completion zone and cement to cover and extend to at least 500 feet above the hydrocarbon-bearing formations which are potentially productive. · ARCO Alaska, Inc. proposes to run a slotted liner through the lower most section of the Sadlerochit Formation with no cement behind the slotted liner. The regular seven inch liner above the slotted section will be cemented to at least 500 feet above the hydrocarbon-bearing zone. ~ Notice of the application was published in the Anchorage Times on September 2, 1984. 4. There were no protests to the application. FINDINGS: 1. · Completions using a slotted liner are common in many oil-producing areas. There already have been open hole completions and gravel-packed completions in the Sadlerochit Formation in the Prudhoe Bay Field. CONCLUSION: The requested exception will not create waste and will add to the knowledge of completion techniques for the Prudhoe Oil Pool. Conservation Ord,' No. 204 Page 2 September 14, 1984 NOW THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED THAT: ARCO Alaska, Inc. is exempted from the requirements of Rule 3 of Conservation Order No. 145 and may complete the Prudhoe Bay Unit No. DS 15-8 well with an uncemented slotted liner in the lower-most section of the Sadlerochit Formation.

Notice is hereby given that ARCO Alaska, Inc. has requested the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission to issue an order to grant the use of a slotted liner in the completion of the Prudhoe Bay Unit No. DS 15-8 well. Rule 3(f) of Conservation Order No. 145 requires all hydrocarbon-bearing zones be covered by cement which is not practical when a slotted liner is used. In support of this request, ARCO Alaska, Inc. states that the use of a slotted liner will provide additional information on completion techniques in the Sadlerochit Formation and should result in increased production in low potential wells. Parties who may be aggrieved if the order is issued granting the referenced request 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 99501-3192. If such a protest is timely filed, a hearing on the matter will be held at the above address at 9:00 AM on September 14, 1984 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. Lonnie ~.~ Smit~ Commissioner Alaska Oil & Gas Conservation Co~nission
