No protests to the application were filed with the Commission. FINDINGS: · Rule 7 of C0173 requires periodic gas-oil-ratio (GOR) testing and reporting of test results for producing wells of the Kuparuk River Oil Pool in the Kuparuk River Field. · Periodic GOR testing is not the only source of GOR data for producing wells. · At least one production test per well per month is required for all producing wells in the Kuparuk River Oil Pool for purposes of production allocation. · Individual well production statistics are filed with the Commission monthly. These figures include oil, gas and water volumes from which a gas-oil-ratio may be calculated. Conservation Order No. ~oz October 23, 1990 Page 2 CONCLUSIONS: · · The periodic GOR testing and reporting requirements of C0173 do not provide the Commission with any better GOR information for monitoring reservoir performance beyond that GOR inform- ation supplied in the monthly production reports. Elimination of the requirement for periodic gas-oil-ratio tests of producing wells in the Kuparuk River Oil Pool of the Kuparuk River Field will not promote waste nor jeopardize correlative rights. NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED THAT: Rule 7 of Conservation Order No. 173 is hereby repealed.

C. Smith Commissioner Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission 3001 Porcupine Drive Anchorage, AK 99501 RE: Application for Exception to Rule 7, Conservation Order No. 173 Dear Mr. Smith: Please consider this letter a request by ARCO Alaska, Inc. as Operator of the Kuparuk River Unit, for the modification of Conservation Order 173. Applicant requests that the reporting requirement of Rule 7 of Conservation Order No. 173 requiring a periodic gas-oil ratio test and reporting of test results, be eliminated for all wells in the Kuparuk River Pool of the Kuparuk River Field. We believe that the monthly allocated production data which is separately reported to the AOGCC, better reflect the well's overall performance and provides accurate data as the wells' current producing Gas-Oil Ratios. The elimination of Gas-Oil Ratio Reporting requirements will not, in our opinion, adversely affect ultimate recovery, create waste or detract from Kuparuk River Unit production reporting.
