PROPOSED ACTION Copper Valley Machine Works, Inc., proposes to drill the Alicia No.1 well, an exploratory well in the NEt;SWt; Section 23, T. 4 N., R. 4 W., CRM, on Federal lease Anchorage 063937 in the Copper River Basin physiographic province. The entire drilling oper- ation is to be conducted during the winter season (Exhibit III). The total depth of the well will be 1400 feet or no less than 300 feet below the surficial deposits into the Cretaceous, whichever comes first. The well will spud in surficial perma- frost and will be drilling through recent deposits of clay and gravel. Upon receipt of an approved Notice of Intention to Drill, the Operator plans to move in construction equipment over the existing Mud Lake Trail. The Operator plans to make the trail more sui t- able for use by normal road vehicles from the Glenn Highway by blading with a D-6 Catapillar or similar equipment. Up to two acres of land will be cleared of trees and undergrowth for the drill site. Two pits will be dug. The mud pit will be about 50 feet in length, 8 feet wide, and 8 feet deep. The flare pit will be about 20 feet in length, 8 feet wide, and 4 feet deep. Top soil will be removed and set aside for later use when the site is being restored. Water will be hauled to the site for the drilling operation. Rig personnel will be housed in Glennallen and will commute to the drill site by truck. "Porta,. Can" type chemical toilets will be provided at site for personnel use. Waste and excess drilling fluid will be contained in the mud pit. Waste com- bustibles will be burned in the flare pit. After drilling operations are completed, all remaining debris, including cut trees and undergrowth, will be placed into the mud pit and flare pit. The pits with the debris will be covered with dirt excavated during the construction phase of the operation. The dirt will be compacted into mounds over the pi ts to allow for settling and drainage. The remainder of the drill site will be bladed smooth in a manner that will insure that it will properly drain. The entire drill site will be covered with top soil and seeded with grass. . . LOCATION AND NATURAL SETTING The proposed well is located in the Copper River Basin about twelve miles west of Glennallen and about a half mile north of the Glenn Highway near the Shepard benchmark. The elevation of the benchmark is 2172 feet (Exhibit VII). An on site inspection of the proposed drill site was made on January 12, 1976 by the three representatives of this office and representatives from Bureau of Land Management, Alaska Department of Fish and Game, the operator and the operator's construction supervisor. Photographs of the proposed well site and area were taken on this inspection trip and are available for viewing at this office (Exhibit VI). The climate in the area is milder than in some parts of Interior Alaska. Mean January temperatures range from _16oF. to 4oF. Extreme low temperatures of -50oF. have been reported. The area gets about 12 inches of precipitation annually including 50 inches of snow (Ref: 2 and 3). The proposed wèll is in an isolated region of continuous perma- frost. The-expecteà-depth of the permafrost at the drillsite is expected to be about 30-70 feet (Ref: 2-4). In the area of the proposed drill site, low ro~~~~g þills are the predominate terrain feature. There are numerous small lakes, ponds, and springs in the area. The area is heavily forested with black spruce. At the drill site the maximum diameter of the trees is about eight inches at the base and stand no higher than 50 feet. Moose, caribou, wolves, wolverines, and bear (black and brown- grizzly ) inhabit the area. The drillsi te is wi thin an area grazed by moose and is at the edge of the caribou winter mi- gration range. The caribou herd in the, area is called the Nelchina herd. In 1970 the herd numbefdabout 60,000 making it the third largest in Alaska and 10% of the total in the state. Other mammals possibly wi thin the area include snowshoe hare, red fox, lynx, and red squirrel (Ref: 1). Sharptail grouse, ptarmigan, ravens, hawks, woodland owls, some shorebirds and songbirds live in the area. The lakes, ponds, and springs in the area are likely locations for nesting and sanctuary (Ref: 4). 2 . . A lake containing fish is located four miles from the drillsite. It is presumed that springs in the area of the drillsite do not feed the lake from the surface. The Tazlina River is located one and one half miles south of the drillsite. There are no reported historical sites in the immediate vicinity of the drills~te and nothing of any historical significance was seen above the snow cover, however, the possibility of cultural material existing at the site, particularly prehistoric material carmot be overlooked. Ahtna Natives now 1i ve in the Copper River Basin and earlier occupation by other members of the Athabascan culture has been indicated. GEOLOGY The geology of the area is set forth in a memorandum prepared by J. E. Callah~~ of the Office of the Area Geologist. The report states: The well location lies in the southcentral part of the Copper River lowland physigraphic province. The immediate area is covered by lacustrine deposits com- plexly intercalated with glacial drift (Nichols and Yehle, 1961). The area was apparently covered by a large lake or series of lakes below the elevation of 2450 feet during Pleistocene time. The lacustrine deposits are described as sand and pebbly silt. The southern part of the Copper River Lowland is underlain by as much as 10000' of Jurassic and Creta- deous sediments, predominantly of lower Jurassic age, composed of partly altered volcanic and volcaniclas- tic rocks. Most favorable objectives for oil and gas explora- tion in the area have included the Tuxedni, Chinitna and Nadnek formations, all Jurassic in age, and the Nel- china formation of lower Cretaceous age. The young- est Cretaceous unit, the Matanuska formation, is pre- dominantly claystone and siltstone, but contains sandstone and conglomerate beds as well, and has some hydrocarbon potential. The thickness of the Matanuska formation is variable, but could be from 5000 to 8000 feet at the well loca- tion. 3 . . The Matanuska formation could be overlain by a thin( 100'-300') Tertiary section. A hill about 6 miles to the west is capped by Tertiary conglomerate or conglomeratic sandstone, reportedly with thin coal beds. Three saline springs occur in the near vicinity of the well location. These have formed low (25' -40' ) mounds described as mud volcanoes. These mud volcanoes flow saline water and small amO\JIlts of gas. Analyses of the water are inconclusive as to the origin, though there is a possibility that it is at least partially cormate water derived from \JIlderlying sedimentary rocks. The gas is primarily methane and nitrogen, suggesting that it originated in Tertiary or older coal beds or buried Pleistocene marsh deposits. One of the three mud volcanoes is within a few h\JIldred feet of the well location. However, it has been inactive at least since the late 1950's (Nichols and Yehle, 1961). 4 . .

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT EVALUATION The following is a discussion of the impact of the proposed action on existing characteristics and conditions of the environment: Land Use In this catagory only "scenic view" and "historical sites" could be significantly effected by any phase of the operation. The effect on scenic views would be temporary and minimal. There are no known historical or archeological sites at the site, however, if an archeological site coincides with the well site it would probably be permanently damaged. It is unlikely that artifacts will be found on the surface, therefore, the most damage would occur while digging the pits. Flora & Fauna Due to the proximity of the drill site to the Glenn Highway and the town of Glennallen, it is doubtful the drilling operations will have much additional effect on the land animals and birds in the area. AIry displacement that occurs would only be tem- porary. The area at the drill site cleared of trees and under- growth will be reconditioned to allow for eventual recovery.to its natural state. .;,- . . .,\}...0/;\.-' Physical Characte~~ In the initial drilling phase of operation, underground water could be effected before casing could be set. During the remainder of the operation this water will be protected by cemented casing. Permafrost has also been considered in the casing design. Air pollution will be limited to exhaust gases of trucks and engines used in the operation. Some air pollution could also occur if gas from the well is flared. MITIGATING MEASURES Some mitigating requirements or alternatives to avoid or reduce environmental impact which are a part of the application or should be included as conditions to the permit are as follows: '5 . . 1. Drilling procedures and equipment, including blowout prevention equipment and testing procedures, to assure protection against accidental loss of control of the well, waste of oil and gas, and discharge of uncontained fluids on the surface. J 2. Casing and cementing plans designed to protect sub- surface formations, minerals, and water. 3. Solid waste handling, air quality controls, and sewage disposal provisions in accordance with the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation requirements. 4. Construction and rehabilitation of reserve and other fluid containment pits so as to minimize seepage of waste fluids into surface waters upon abandonment of pits. Stock- piling of top soil to be replaced after completion to aid in revegatation. 5. Plan for oil spill containment, control and cleanup in the unlikely event of an uncontrolled oil spill. 6. No drilling or associated surface disturbance will occur within 150 feet of springs near site to protect surface water and avoid disturbance of possible archeological sites. 7. Access is restricted to existing trail. Use of the trail will be restricted during the period of April 15 - November 15. During this period access will only be allowed under special permit from the authorizing officer of the Bureau of Land Management. DETERMINATION The adverse effects of this proposed drilling operation are considered relatively minor or temporar.y. Operational requirements under the lease terms and regulations, mitigating measures included in the applicant's plans, special stipulations added to the permit and monitoring of operations during critical phases will minimize adverse environmental impact. Comments and recommendations regarding the proposed operation were received from the Area Geologist, Bureau of Land Manage- ment, Alaska Department of Fish and Game, Alaska Department of Oil and Gas, and Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation. All of the above agencies have been offered the opportunity by the operator to visit, inspect, or monitor surface related operations (Exhibits V and I-B). 6 . . Many of the constructive comments and suggestions by the Federal and State agencies have either been incorporated in the operations plan or will be required in the approval of the application. If there are any further significant changes in the plans of operation, the applicant will be required to furnish additional alternate plans for study and consideration. Our review indicates the subject proposal falls in the catagory of a "usual" oil and gas proposal as outlined in the Chief1s memorandum of May 3, 1973, to Regional Managers and further indicates no reasonable alternative to the proposed action which would provide the equivalent in safety operations, logistics, and minimal environmental damage.

Geologic Input for Environmental Assessment, Alicia No.1 Well Copper River Basin . ., The well location lies in the southcentral part of the Copper River lowland physigraphic province. The immediate area is covered by lacustrine deposits complexly intercalated with glacial drift (Nichols and Yehle, 1961). The area was apparently covered by a large lake or series of lakes below the elevation of 2450 feet during Pleistocene time. The lacustrine deposits are described as sand and pebbly silt. The southern part of the Copper River lowland is underlain by as much as 10000' of Jurassic and Cretaceous sediments, predominantly of lower Jurassic age, composed of partly altered volcanic and volcaniclastic rocks. Most favorable objectives for oil and gas exploration in the area have included the Tuxedni, Chinitna and Naknek formations, all Jurassic in age, and the Nelchina formation of lower Cretaceous age. The youngest Cretaceous unit, the Matanuska formation, is predominantly claystone and siltstone, but contains sandstone and conglomerate beds as well, and has some hydrocarbon potential. The thickness of the Matanuska formation is variable, but could be from 5000 to 8000 feet at the well location. The Matanuska formation could be overlain by a thin (100'-3001) Tertiary section. A hill about 6 miles to the west is capped by Tertiary conglomerate or conglomeratic sandstone, reportedly with thin coal beds. Three"saline springs occur in the near vicinity of the well location. These have formed low (251-40') mounds described as mud volcanoes. These mud volcanoes flow saline water and small amounts of gas. Analyses of the water are inconclusive as to the origin, though there is a possibility that it is at least partially connate water derived from underlying sedimentary rocks. The gas is primarily methane and nitrogen, suggesting that it originated in Tertiary or older coal beds or buried Pleistocene marsh deposits. One of the three mud volcanoes is within a few hundred feet of the well location. However, it has been inactive at least since the late 1950ls (Nichols and Yehle, 1961). .- . . .u···' ~>..,; .-+.--,--- ...-.---.......---" ,--- u. S.

February 5, 1976 Memorandum To: Files From: Oil and Gas Supervisor, Alaska Area Subject: Field Inspection ~ Drilling Prospect, Lease A-063937 Section 23, T. 4 No. R. 4 W., Copper River Meridian Jim White, Proponent A predrilling site inspection of the sUbject location was made on January 12, 1976. Inspection consisted of the following: Jim White, Proponent Jerry Fisher, one of Mr. White's advisors Jon M. Dolak, BLM, Glermallen, Realty Officer Bruce Barrett, Alaska Department of Fish and Game, Anchorage Dale Roberts, USGS Ken Stafford, USGS W. C. Wunni eke, USGS The proposed subject site is located in the approximate center of Section 23, some 200 - 300 feet northeast of the Shepard's Spring V ABlv1 tower. The exact location had not been staked. We walked to the location over a trail cleared through the spruce timber for approximately ~ mile, then east over a cleared trail to the VABM tower. There was about 10 inches of snow cover. The trail we followed crosses the Glerm Highway at approximately mile 175 and is designated the "Mud Lake Trail" on the T. 4 N., R. 4 W., CRM, BLM Use Map. I understand there is a 300 ft. easement for the trail (150 each side of centerline). The coniferous trees range in size up to 6 to 8 inches at the base, and a maximum of about 50 feet high. The commercial value may be minimal. The proponent proposes to clear approximately 1 to 2 acres of area for the location, level the site for the drilling equipment and bulldoze out a reserve pit one blade wide and some 30 to 40 feet long. It was suggested that the pit be dug deep enough to contain all the fluid developed during the drilling operation, that the trees be saved for use as a bridging material in filling the pit upon completion of the operation, that a mound should be constructed over the pit to provide for settling and to avoid entrapment of rain and melt snow water. Also since this is a gas prospect, that provisions be made to prevent ignition of standing trees. . . White was also advised to place his location so as to avoid any of the springs reported to be in the area. We did not see the springs while viewing the area from the tower. Neither did we see evidence of any improvements, buildings, or other occupancy other than the Mud Lake Trail and a cleared path to the VABM tower. Both the BLM and ADF&G representatives expressed the opinion that if tree cutting and surface disturbance is held to a minimum, very little environmental damage would be done. White suggested that they could upgrade the road or trail and the location so that it could be used as a park or campground. Both BLM and ADF&G representatives vetoed this idea as they are of the opinion there are better areas for such installations in the near vicinity. ADF&G representative also vetoed White's suggestion that the fluid in the reserve pit could be hauled to some nearby gravel pit for disposal. In ADF&G's view, for this prospect at least, it will be more environmentally acceptable to dispose of the pit material in place and tocove.r: with native soil. Mr. White did not have his drilling or development plan completed, but advised he will have it delivered to this office by noon, January 14, 1976. He was again advised to take into consider- ation permafrost, ground water and shallow gas potential in his drilling and development plan. Also, he was advised he is required to fulfill the bond requirements. We gave him several copies of the Designation of Agent for his use. Mr. Jerry Fischer, was one of the people that had an interest in the drilling equipment 'that drilled the Billy Buck Well, and Mr. White have discussed the gas potential and what possible problems they could get into with the shallow gas.

Enclosure '- 1 j i ~-- . . AZFIDAVIT OF JAMES W. N¿ITE JAMES W. WñITE, being f~r3~ duly swo~, s~a~es as fol~ows: 1. ¡ am General ~~ager of Copper Valiey Machi~e Works, Inc. ("Copper Valley"), a corporation e~çar.ized under ~~e laws of ~~e State of Alaska. 2. In early November 1975, I visi~ed ~~e Bureau of Lar.d Management ("ELM") Of:ice in Anchorage on behal: of Copper Valley .toinquirce aboutl.easinq. anoil.andgas prC)sp~C;;t .~p. ~l!IçºPPI!I!." River Valley of Alaska. 3. I was told by ~~e Bt.."I that ~e U.S. Goverr.ment had leased no U.S. lands for development of oil and gas since 1966. They suggested ~~at Copper Valley might ac~~ire a leasehold in~erest ~at had been conveyed prior to 1966 from a priva~e lessee. 4. I checked the records and found ~~at Cecil Eenshaw was the recorded holder of a likely propsect near Gle~~allan. Tñe lease was issued in JanuarL 1966 for a ~e=m of ~en years. ? .. contacted Cecil ãenshaw and negotiated wi~ him to buy his i~~erest in the lease. S.

L' . . . . feet circulation vas lost. ~at vell, it vas noted, required six continuous months of ~perations, not including si~e preparation. We also discussed the fact that all oil discovered in A~aska to date has been in the Jurassic strata, vhich is older and normally deeper that the Cretaceous. Al~~ough the depth of ~~e Jurassic strata at the Copper Valley propsect vas ~~own, ~~e consensus at ~e meeting vas that it vas at least 7,900 feet and possibly a good deal deeper. 7. Alter lengthy negotiations, Copper valley received its drilling permit on January 30, 1976, leaving Copper Valley vi~ only 32 hours in vhich to commence ~~e "diligen~ drilling" required to trigger the 2-year extensicn. In those =ew =ours Copper Valley had to clear 2 acres of timber, ~repare ~~e vell site, make a 1/2 mile road to ~~e vell si~e and transport the equipment needed to drill the well from Anchorage to the propsect. It was clear ~~at conventional drilling equipment could not be ~obili%ed in ~~e time remaining in order to have cuttings from the hole by 12 midnight. January 31, the expiration date of the lease. Transporting conventional drilling equipment requires more ~~an 40 tr~ck loads. ?reparation of a drilling site for conventional equipment involves digging mud pi~s and drilling for water. ~erefore, we temporarily depar~ed from our original conventional drilling concept and elec~ed to use an available drilling rig that uses air to blow ~~e cut~ings out of the ground. The road and drill site were prepared, ~~e air drilling unit was set on location and drilling commenced ~e afternoon of January 31, 19i6 and continued ~~rough until ve set 10" surface pipe. A uses representative vas at ~~e drill site; he wi~~essed that we had diligent drilling operations at ~~e end of the primary lease period. 8. 3ecause the air rig did no~ have ~e capaci~y to drill to the .Jurassic strata, conven~onal drilling e~ipmen~ vas re~~red to complete the prcspec~. ~ ~. -2- . . T~e air riq was removed from the prospect and we ~eç~n to prepare the site for a conventional riq. :he ~-a cate~i:lar tract~r ("~-8 cat" or "cat ") that we were using to rip ~~e !==:en ground for ~ud pits developed pr~blems wi~~ its power trai~. It took several days to dismantle ~e ca~ and find ~~e problem. No pa~s were avilable in Alaska; ~~ey wer~ shipped to Alaska from the lower 48 states. We could not obtain a substitute cat; none was available in the Glennallen area and spring breakup load restrictions at ~at time on the Glenn Highway prevented ~e ~ransportation of a cat from elsewhere. ~e repairs were exten- sive, but we finally got the D-8 cat working again in early April - too late for the cat to do meaningful work at the prospect before operations were required to be shut down. 10. In early summer we began making plans for activi~ies during the next available period of operations on the lease which would begin in Novmeber 1976. We were u.~able to renew out contract wiht Kena~ ~rilling ~ecause they had moved their entire drilli~ç operation to Canada. Therefore, Copper Valley cont=ac~ed in early summer to use Exploration Supply's tract mounted rig. This unit was to complete its existing contract and be available for Copper Valley's propsect by November 1976,wnen Copper Valley's second period of operations began. 11. The riq vas delayed; it did not complete the contract it was on until January 1977. Repairs and modifications were necessary to prepare the rig for work on Copper Valley's prospect. When ~~e repairs anå modifications were completed, the rig was immeåiately moved to t..~eårill site and drilling commenced :e.bruary 12. '!'his u..ú t dri~led continuously night and day until it reached t..~e Cretaceous strata 1bout ~~e 1st of April when operations had to cease. Thus, the second period of Copper Valley's operations ended .ithout a well completion deep enough to test the structure. es. -3- . . 12. O~ March 29, 1977, I met with Mr. Jones and Mr. Boone of USGS to discuss the results of the drillinq ~d plans for ~~e ~;ird available period for operations which would begin in November 1977. Durinq tha~ meetinq I explained ~~at wi~out an ex~ension of the lease, the last period of operations - roughly three months until the lease expired January 31, 1978 - would not permit sufficient ~ime to comple~e a well. I reminded them ~~at drillinq the Moose Creek Propsect took Amoco six months to com- plete to 7,900 and we were probably qoinq to have to go deeper than that. 'nlree mon'd1s was simply not enought ti%:1e ~cr a deep test to the Jurassic stra~a. I therefore requested to be compen- sated for ~e seasonal res~rictions imposed by B~I. Mr. Jones said that operators i~ the Rocky Mo~taiJ areas ¡ where he usually worked received extensions .hen ~eir lease time is curtained for en~ronmental reasons. Mr. Boone, acting head of the Anchorage office, said he would check on it. 13. On April 28, 1977, we received the letter from USGS confir.=ing that the diligent drilling requirem~~t had been satis- fied and that the ~o-year extension granted. At ~at time, I con~acted Rod Smith of USGS and aqain reques~ed additional time for drilling ac~~ties to make up for ~e 12 months suspended by the USGS. He replied that he would check on <. - ... 14. On Sept~er 2, 1977 we recieved a letter indicatinq tha~ ~~e lease wculd expire January 31, 1978 ~ess oil or gas were found in payinq quantities. I aqain contacted Rod Smith and reiterated our request for additional time for activities to compensate for the restriction. Again he said he weu:d check on it. Desp~te the letter of Sep~ember 2~d, I believed tha~'he was still sympathetic to Copper Valley's position. lS. In October and Nove~er I aqai~ contacted Rod Smi~ and the USGS office requestinq an extension. We were contemplatinq settinq tubing but decided ~~ere simply was not justi!ica~ion for fur-..her expendi -:-..1re on ~eex:istinq hole. ':he exls~i~g casing ... -4- . . size was too s~all to sustain an appreciably deeper hole. A new hole would have ~o be spudded with larger casing. If W9 were not gran~ed the ~ime compensation fer ~~e 12 mon~~s operations were suspended, ~~e three mon~~s now remaining until the lease. expired were useless to us. 16. In December Rod Smi~~ suqqested ~~at we put our request in writing. 17. In sum, Copper Valley was not permitted enouqh time to drill a producinq well. ~e first period operations were per- mi~ted --. Febr,Ja.rj' 1 tllrouqh April 13, 1976 -- provided only enough time for road and site preparation. Drillinq could net have begun because site preparation ordinarily takes about six weeks, demobilizinq and removing equipment takes two weeks, leavinq only a co~ple of ~eeks for drillinq. Settinq fo~y t:uck loads of equipment up on location for such a sho~ period is simply not economically feasible. Thus, the first period Copper Valley was permitted to operate on the lease did not practically permit drilling activities of conventional means. 18. The second period operations were allowed was October 15, 1976 ~~ouqh April 15, 1977. Copper Valley, ~ouqh no fault of its own, could not qet a riq on location until February. It was impossible to drill to tlle J~rassic strata in that time. Moreover, even if Copper Valley had had a rig o~ location during tlle entire period, it is quite likely t:at it would have been unable to reac:.~ payinq depth in the time allowed. ran Am's Moose CreekR1q #1 had been on ~e location six mon~s when they lost circulation at 6,170 feet. Ead Pan Am åecided to test tlle zone where cir~~lation was lost, it would have been necessary to move over and redr11l ~~e hole and possibly take anot:er six months. Literally hundreds of holes have been lost due ~o ~low outs or lost strinqs of pipe in the hole¡ problems like ~ese are not ".lnusual. JO Ch. -5- '.>f. .- .~ 19. =.he final three-mon~~ period - November 1977 ~~rouqh January 1378 - was simply not eno~qh time to put a wildcat down to the Jurassic strata in the Copper P~ver Va12ey. The last period was useless without a hole already down to dep~~. It was perhaps enouqh time to put down ~inq, test adequately any zone or ~o pluq and abandon, clean up and restore ~~e well site and trail. There was not enouqh time to dril~ a wildcat to dep~ and do any testinq. Moreover, one hole is simply not enouqh to test a square mile lease. Data developed from one hole o:ten indicate where a successful redrillinq should be made. ~o have attem?ted tc prove payinq quantities of oil in ~e time remaininq on ~~e lease in November 1977, Copper Valley would have had to spend nearly $1,000,000 in what it knew would bJ a futile effort to beat the January 31, 1978 deadline. / ~- "ames ~) W.

Circuit Court of Appeals held that the lessee was entitled to an extension of the lease term equal to the amount of time when access to the lease was prohibited. A one-year extension was granted, October 15, 1982 through April 15, 1984, a period equal to the amount of time when the lessee has access to the lease. In accordance with 43 CFR 3103,3-2, annual rental of $1 per acre is due each lease year. The amount due for the one-year extension is $640. The annual rental is due in this office no later than 15 days after receipt of this decision. If the lessee fails to pay the rental as required, the lease will be subject to automatic terminati,.on. See 43 CFR 3108.2-1. An appeal from this decision may be taken to the Board of Land Appeals, Office of Hearings and Appeals, in accordance with the attached regulations in Title 43 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 4, Subpart E. If an appeal is taken, the notice of appealmu$t be filed in the Alaska State Office of the Bureau of Land Management within 30 days of the receipt of this decision. Do not send the appeal directly to the Board. The appeal and case history file will be sent to the Board from this office. The regulations also require the appellant to serve a copy of the notice of appeal, statement of reasons, written arguments or briefs on the Regional Solicitor, Alaska Region, U.S. Department of the Interior, 701 C Street, Box 34, Anchorage, Alaska 99513.

This appeal is brought by Copper from the decision on its request fór a and gas lease Anchorage 063937. I Valley Machine Works, Inc., I l2-month extension of oil I . . The record submitted by the Geological Survey discloses that the lease was issued effective February 1, 1966. A 75-percent interest in the lease was assigned to Cecil W. Hinshaw, who filed a Designation of' Operator form with the Geo- . logical Survey on January 30, 1976, Identifying Copper Valley Machine Works, Inc., as his operator and agent with respect to tbe lease. A drilling permit wa~ issued by Geological Survey for tbe Alicia No. 1 well on the lease on January 30, 1976. Although noncompetitive oil and gas leases ordinarily ex- pire at the' end of their 10-Ýear primary term in the absence of production of oil or gas in paying quantities, a two year extension of tbe lease term may be obtained by means of actual drilling operations, commenced prior to the end of the primary lease term, which are being diligently prosecuted at the end of the primary term. 30 U.S.C. § 226(e) (1976). The Geological Survey advised tbe Alaska State Office, Bureau of Land Management (BLM), that the drillíngof a well on the lease commenced prior to the end of > its primary term and continued thereafter in a manner satisfying ~d"tt>11'" the diligent drilling requirements. Consequently, BLM issued a ____~sion extending the term of the lease through January 31, 1978, pursuant to the regulations at 43 CFR 3107.2-3. There is no . evidence in tbe· record of discovery or production on the leasebold. ~ .... ." '- Appellant's request for a further l2-month extension of tbe lease bas been treated by thé Geological Survey as a request for a l2-month suspension of operations and production for the lease under 43 CFR 3103.3-8.

". ,-,'-'1;. . JAMES W. WHI'l'E, being first duly sworn, states as follows: 1. I am General Manager of Copper Valley Machine Works, Inc. ("Copper Valley"), a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Alaska. 2. In early November 1975, I visited the Bureau of Land Management ("BLM") Office in Anchorage on behalf of Copper Valley to inquire about. leasing an oil and gas prospect in the Copper River Valley of Alaska. 3. I was told by the BLM that the U. S. Government had leased no U.S. lands Eor development of oil and gas since 1966. They 'suggested that Copper Valley might acquire a leasehold inte,est that had been conveyed prior to 1966 from a private lessae. 4. I checked the records and found that Cecil Henshaw was the recorded holder of a likely propsect near Glennallan. The lease was issued in January 1966 for a term of ten years. I J 'i~ I contacteå Cecil Henshaw and negotiated with him to buy his .interest in the lease. 5. After completing negotiations wi~~ Cecil Eenshaw and contracting with Kenai Drilling for drilling equipment, I contacted the U.S. Geological Surevy ("USGS") in early December 1975 and informed ~~em that Copper Valley intended to develop the eenshaw propsect. 6. During the course of one meeting with USGS we discussed the capital requirements to adequately test the prospec~ qiven the geoloqical struc~re of the area. It was noted that Moose Creek *1, a wildcat well drilled by Pan American Petroleum Corpora- tion ("Pan Am") near the propsect, was probably on the same structure. !he three nearly catastrophic blowouts that occurred at Moose Creek #1 were discussed: at 5,400 feet and again at 6,070 feet extreme over pressure zones were encountered; at 6,170 . . feet ~irculation was lost. That well, it was noted, required six ~ontinuous mon~~s of operations. not including site preparation. We also discussed ~~e fact that all oil discovered in Alaska to date has been in ~~e Jurassic strata, which is older and normally deeper ~~at the Cretaceous. Although the depth of the Jurassi~ strata at the Copper Valley propsect was unknown, the consensus at the meeting was that it was at least 7,900 feet and possibly a good deal deeper. 7. A£ter'len~hy negotiations, Copper Valley received its drilling permit on January 30, 1976, leaving Copper Valley with only 32 hours in which to commence the "diliqent drillingtl required to trigger the 2-year extension. In those few hours Copper Valley had to clear 2 acres of timber, prepare the well site, make a 1/2 mile road to the well site and transport the equipment needed to drill the well from Anchorage to the propsect. It was clear ~~at conventional drilling equipment could not be mobilized in the time remaining in order to have cuttings from the hole by 12 midni, qht January 31, the expiration date of the lease. Transporting conventional drilling equipment requires more than 40 truck loads. Preparation of a drilling site for conventional equipment involves digging mud pits and drilling for water. rnerefore, we temporarily departed from our original conventional d=illinq concept and elected to use an available drilling =ig that uses air to clow the cuttings out of the ground. The road and drill site were prepared, the air drilling unit was set on location and d=illir.g commenced the afternoon of January 31, 1976 and continued through until we set 10" surface pipe. A USGS representative was at the drill site; he witnessed that we had diligent drilling operations at the end of the primary lease period. S. Secause the air rig did not have the capacity to drill to the .Jurassic strata, conventional drilling equipment was required to complete the prospect. -2- . . The air rig was removed from the prospect and we began to prepare the site for a conventional rig. The D-8 caterpillar tractor ("D-8 cat" or "cat") t.~at we were using to rip the frozen groUnd for muå pits :eveloped problems with its power train. It too~ several days to dismantle the cat and find the problem. No parts were avilable in Alaska; they were shipped to Alaska from the lower 48 states. We could not obtain a substitute cat; none was available in the Glennallen area and spring breakup load restrictions at that time on the Glenn Highway prevented t.~e transportation of a cat from elsewhere. The repairs were exten- siv., but we finally qot the D-a cat 'tlorking again in early April - too late for the cat to do meaningful work at the prospect before operations were required to be shut down. 10. In early summer we began making plans for activities during the next available period of operations on the lease which would begin in Novmeber 1976. We were unable to renew out contract wiht Kenai Drilling because they had moved their entire drilling operation to Canada. Therefore, Copper Valley contracted in early summer to use Exploration Supply's tract mounted rig. This unit was to complete its existing contract and be available for Copper Valley's prop sect by November 1976, when Copper Valley's second period of operations began. 11. The riq was delayed; i~ did not complete the contract it was on until January 1977. Repairs and modifications were necessarj' to prepare the rig for work on Copper Valley's prospect. When the repairs and modifications were completed, the rig was immediately moved to the drill site and drilling commenced February 12. ~is u.~it dr1~led continuously night and day until it reached the Cretaceous strata about the 1st of April when operations had to cease. Thus, t.~e second period of Copper Valley's operations ended without a well completion deep enough to test the structure. -3- . . 12. On March 29, 1977, I met with Mr. Jones and Mr. Boone of USGS to discuss the results of the drilling and plans for ~~e ~~ird available period for operations which would begin in November 1977. During that meeting I explained ~~at without an extension of the lease, the last period of operations - roughly three months until ~~e lease expired January 31, 1978 - would not permit sufficient time to complete a well. I reminded them ~~at drilling the Moose Creek ?ropsect took Amoco six months to com- plete to 7,900 and we were probably going to have to go deeper than that. !hree months was simply not enought time for a deep test to the Jurassic strata. I therefore requested to be compen- sated for the seasonal restrictions imposed by aLM. Mr. Jones said that operators in the Rocky Mountain areas where he usually worked received extensions when their lease time is curtained for environmental reasons. Mr. Boone, acting head of the Anchorage office, said he would check on it. 13. On April 28, 1977, we received the letter from uses confirming that the diligent drilling requirement had been satis- fied and that the two-year extension granted. At ~~at time, ¡ contacted Rod Smi~ of uses and again requested additional time for drilling activities to make up for the 12 months suspended by the uses. He replied that he would check on it. 14. On September 2, 1977 we recieved a letter indicating that the lease would expire January 31, 1978 unless oil or gas were found in paying quantities. I again contacted Rod Smith and reiterated our request for additional time for activities to compensate for the restriction. Again he said he would check on it. Despite the letter of September 2nd, I believed that he was still sympathetic to Copper Valley's position. 15. In October and November I again contacted Rod Smith and the uses office requesting an extension. We were contemplating setting tubinq but decided there simply was not justification for further expendi~~re on ~~e existing hole. The existing casing -4- . . size was too small to sustain an appreciably deeper hole. A new hole would have to be spudded with larger casing. If we were not granFed the time compensation for ~~e 12 months ~perations were suspended, the three months now remaining until the lease expired were useless to us. 16. In December Rod Smith suggested that we ~ut our request in w~iting. 17. In sum, Copper Valley was not permitted enough time to drill a producing well. The first period operations were per· mitted .- February 1 through April IS, 1976 .- provided only enough time for road and site preparation. Drilling could net have'bequn because site preparation ordinarily takes about six week~, demobiLizing and removing equipment takes two weeks, leaving only a couple of weeks for drilling. Setting forty truck load~ of equipment up on location for such a short period is simply not economically feasible. Thus, the first period Copper Valley was permitted to operate on the lease did not practically permit drilling activities of conventional means. 18. The second period operations were allowed was October 15, 1976 through April 15, 1977. Copper Valley, through no fault of its own, could not get a rig on location until February. It was impossible to drill to the Jurassic strata in that time. Moreover, even if Copper Valley had had a rig on locat~on during the entire period, it is quite likely that it would have been unable to reach paying depth in the time allowed. Pan Am's Moose Creek Rig #1 had been on the location six months when they lost circulation at 6,170 feet. aad Pan Am decided to test the zone where circulation was lost, it would have been necessary to move over and redrill the hole and possibly take another six months. titerally hundreds of holes have been lost due to blow outs or lost strings of pipe in ~~e hole; problems like these are not unusual. -5- . . 19. The final three-mon~~ period - Nove~~er 1977 through January 1978 - was simply not eno~gh time to put a wildca~ down to the Jurassic strata in the Copper River valley. The last period was useless wi~~out a hole already down to dep~. It was perhaps enouqh time to put down tubing, test adequately any zone or to plug and abandon, clean up and restore the well si~e and trail. There was not enouqh time to drill a wildcat to depth and do any testinq. Moreover, one· hole is simply not enough to test a square mile lease. Data developed from one hole often indicate where a successful reàrillinq should be made. To have attempted to prove payinq quantities of oil in the time remaininq on the lease in November 1977, Copper Valley would have had to spend nearly $1,000,000 in what it knew would be a futile effort to beat the January 31, 1978 deadline. . ¿ ~res ::J w.

More specifically, the Solicitor has asked for documentation to support the Secretary's statement, "...that a producing well could have been drilled within the time permitted under the lease..." "That Copper Valley was accorded sufficient time considering the depth and formation targets in which to complete the well, as capable of production." Darrell indicated that we should come up with any information to back-up the time to drill a well. The exact wording is in the revision. Offhand, I would suggest reviewing the records of the deep wells drilled in the area and the time to drill the first thousand feet, or other comparative drilling times. Also, any other information or documentation of drilling times for comparable depths, though we don't have many shallow wells in Alaska. I think we should also explain the conditions (winter, etc.), and be as reasonable as possible. I advised Darrell that our Onshore District Supervisor would contact Darrell Johnson at (FTS) 928-7535, Reston, VA, if he did not understand the question. :0-rú~ Rodney A.

Smith Oil and Gas Supervisor U.S. Geological Survey Box 259 Anchorage, Alaska 99510 Dear Mr. Smith: This letter is in reference to the proposed well drilling on Oil and Gas Lease A-063937 by Jim White. It is our request that the following items concerning surface protection of the drilling site and access trails be incorporated as stipulations in the drilling permit your office is considering issuing to Mr. White. 1. Access will be restricted to the existing trails as shown on the attached map. 2. Where blading is necessary for the construction of the drilling pad or holding pits, the top one foot of soil will be stockpiled separately from the subsoil material. This soil will be spread back over the disturbed area during rehabilitation with the topsoil being spread on the surface. 3. Rehabilitation of storage pits shall consist of placing in the pit black spruce logs that were cut down for the drill site clearing. Next, the subsoil will be spread over the logs, and finally the topsoil will be spread over the pit. This process should result in a mound of 3 to 4 feet over the pit area. 4. Rehabilitation of the drill pad shall consist of blading the subsoil and then spreading the topsoil over the disturbed areas. 5. Approval for use of the access trails during the period April 15 to November 15 shall beat the discretion of . . the Authorized Officer, Bureau of land Management. Any trail damage caused by this operation shall be repaired by the permittee to the satisfaction of the Authorized Officer, BLM. 6. No drilling or associated surface disturbance will occur within 150 feet of Shepard Spring. 7. All trash shall be hauled away and deposited in an autho- rized dump.

Customer's SPCC plan normallv provides for all procp-!iIlTPQ nl1t"9itip t"Q9 nrillaite The customer normally furnishes a completly constructed Drillsite as shown in Figure 2 based on our Rig, layout shown in FigllTP 1 Hp"",y I'n",~t"Y"uction equipment and tank trucks are normally available in the operational area. c. Disposition or oil or oily effluent from secondary containment is: These fluids are handled by : (1) Hauling to approved disposal areas (l) I~cinerated by approved means (3) Disposed in deep subsurface strata as approved by the appropriate governing agenc. Absorbent materials (lost C1r u a 10n mu mater a s are normally at the rig site for special clean up use. D. Primary containment fuaterial, design and control devices) ; All fluid containers are of heavy steel construction. None of the containers are pressure vessels. All mud t~nks are open top. All Fuel Tanks are equipped with overflow lines and are filled from the top. Fuel is transferred from tanks thru steel lines with provisions made for vibration, contraction and expansion. All bottom conne<;..tions on the fuel tanks have valves at the tank. E. Casing and ~~P 1. Before drilling below any casing string or during workover v operations, a blowout prevention assembly and well control system is installed that is capable of controlling any well head pres- sure that is expected to be encountered while that assembly is on the well.

Smith Re: Con.firming Phone Conversation of December 9, 1977 Concerning Lease Extension Dear Mr. Smith: Copper Valley Machine was given a two (2) year extension because it was conducting continuous drilling operations at the end of the original lease period. However, it was directed by the U.S. Government to suspend its activities on this lease during the periods, April 15 to October 15, in the years 1976 and 1977. These suspensions totaled 12 months. Therefore, Copper Valley Machine Works, Inc. ask that its lease be extended in a manner to allow 12 additional months for activities to compensate for the 12 months suspended by the u.S. Government.

On March 30, 1978, the Acting Director transmitted to t.he Secretary of the Interior, for his consideration, a request filed by James ¥J. White for à 12-month lease e~tension of lease Anchorage 063937. This request was intended by ¡Vir. White to be an application for suspeniÜon of the operating and producing requirements of the lease. On May 22, 1978, Secretary of the Int~rior Andrus denied the request tor a suspension of lea.se Anchorage 063937. Accordingly, the lease 1$ con- sidered to have expired by operation of law as of ru.idlúght, January 31, 1978, absent the existence of a well on that' date whicb had been deter- iidned by the Supervisor as capable of producing in pay1nlf. quantities. The reasons for the denial are that (1) the lessee accepted the itnposeíi restriction that drilling could be conducted only durin~ the winter season without complaint until 11 days preceding the lease expiration date and (2) the 2~year lease extension earned by drilling across the end of the primary term on January 31, 1976, afforded 5ufficient additional time, despite the restriction, in which to have completed a well that was physically capable of production in paying quantities.

Acting Director, Geological Survey Subject: Request for suspension of operating and producing requirements of Federal lease Anchorage 063937, Alaska Copper Valley Machine Works, Inc., designated operator of lease Anchorage 063937, has requested a 12-month suspension of operations and production for the lease pursuant to 43 CFR 3103.3-8. A copy of this request is enclosed for your convenient reference. Noncompetitive lease Anchorage 063937 was issued to Edward M. Devine on February 1, 1966, and embraces all of sec. 23, T. 4 N. , R. 4 W., Copper River Meridian. A 75-percent interest in the lease was assigned to Cecil W. Hinshaw effective June 1, 1966. As the lease approached the end of its 10-year primary term, Mr. James W. White of Copper Valley Machine Works, Inc., made inquiries of the Supervisor relative to extend- ing the 10-year lease term by drilling across the expiration date. Sub- sequently, Mr. White filed the necessary papers for the Supervisor's consideration, i.e., a bond with Cecil W. Hinshaw as principal, a designa- tion of operator, an application for permit to drill, and a surface use plan. In the interim period following the original inquiry and the . . 2 filing of such papers, a pre-drill site inspection was conducted by the Geological Survey, Bureau of Land Management (BLM), and the operator on January 12, 1976. In its followup report, BLM outlined seven specific stipulations for the protection of the surface and recommended that the Supervisor incorporate such stipulations as a condition of his approval of the application for a permit to drill. The Supervisor followed BLM's recommendations in his approval action of January 30, 1976. Included among the stipulated conditions of approval was the requirement that the drilling operations could be conducted only during the winter season, i.e., from approximately November 15 to about April 15. This was necessary because the lease itself was issued without any stipulations for protection of the tundra/perma-frost environment. It is this denial of the right to conduct operations during the subsequent summer seasons (approximately April 15 to November 15, 1976, and April 15 to November 15, 1977) which resulted in the request for a l2-month suspension. The well was commenced on January 31, 1976 (the expiration date of the primary term), and reached a depth of 100 feet before having to shut- down for the 1976 summer season. Following the summer shutdown from May to November 1976, operations were recommenced on February 5,1977, and after reaching a depth of 1,070 feet on March 20, 1977, electric logs were run in the well. After evaluating the electric logs and examining the samples, the Supervisor concluded that the operator had satisfied the "diligent drilling" requirements of 43 CFR 3107.2-3, and recommended to BLM that the lease be extended to January 31, 1978. . . 3 After the 1977 summer shutdown, the Supervisor advised the operator and the lessee that the lease would expire January 31, 1978, absent a well physically and mechanically capable of production in paying quantities by that date. On January 20, 1978, the operator wrote the Supervisor and requested that the lease be extended for 12 months to compensate for the 2 periods of summer shutdown in 1976 and 1977. The Supervisor has considered this letter to be an application to the Secretary for an extension of lease Anchorage 063937 pursuant to 43 CFR 3103.3-8. We believe that the request for a suspension should be denied. Admittedly, the operator was unable to conduct operations on a full- time basis since January of 1976 by the imposition of the require- ment that operations would be permitted only during the winter months. However, no objection was made in that regard until 11 days prior to the expiration of the lease. Secondly, and of greater importance, is the fact that the operator was, in our opinion, accorded suffi- cient time in which to have drilled and completed for production several wells on the lease. If you concur with the foregoing, it is recommended that by your approval hereof you authorize the Area Oil and Gas Supervisor, Anchorage, . . 4 Alaska, to deny the requested 12-month suspension for lease Anchorage 063937 .

He presented himself to be just starting on the case and was working from little or no factual information. He asked to confirm the proper identification of the lease as being A-063937. He asked for the date that Mr. White requested the subject"extensior:'on the lease. (January 20, 1978) He asked for the date that Mr. White's request was denied. I told him that "On May 22, 1978, Secretary of the Interior, Andrus, dél'Iied the requést for a suspension of lease A-063937." (He questioned the use of the word "suspension" as to being correct). He asked if Mr. White was informed of this decision. I answered in the affirmative, referring to our letter to Copper Valley Machine Works, Inc., ,Attn: Mr. James W. White, dated July 17, 1978. He asked if Mr. White was given a copy of the actual decision of Secretary Andrus. I told him no. He then asked if I thought it would be available to him under the Freedom of Information Act - I replied that I assumed it would be. He asked when the lease was actually terminated. I said the lease is considered to have expired by operation of law, as of midnight, January 31, 1978. . .

Since your letter of July 17, 1978 recites that the Secretary of the Interior denied the request for suspension of the lease, it seems to me that Part 290 - Appeals Procedures - of Title 30, Chapter II of the Regulations Pertaining to Min- eral Leasing, Operations and Pipelines on· the Outer Continental Shelf is inapplicable. Therefore we wish to have the appeal heard by the Interior Board of Land Appeals, and we request that you consider this letter our Notice of Appeal required by 43 C.F.R. §4.4ll. Please confirm the date this Notice of Appeal was filed in your office so that we may file our statement of reasons with the Office of the Secretary, Board of Land Appeals with- in thirty (30) days of that date.

He sAys, as ð. general rule, theydan'.t allow any traffic in there until the ground is frozen to a depth of 6" and it wasn't until Detlember of last year that this.· happened. I asked John if he had seen or heard from Jim White recently. He said no, he hasn't seen seen Jim around Glenallen lately, and thinks hè may have sold or leased his machine shop. ~~~ Dale Roberts cc: Alicia No. 1 "Alicia No. 1 Chron (Dístrict1-ú C; Sf> "" ~?

I asked if there has been any further determination as to when Mr. White might be allowed to re-enter subject lease. According to Mr. Fish, the ground is still very wet and sloppy and all operations have been suspended in that area. AB much as he would like to do so, because of our position, Mr. White cannot be allowed to re-enter until ground conditions are suitable to resume all operations. Unless there is a sustained period of very warm weather, Mr. Fish does not believe the area can be open~d for vehicular travel until freeze up, in whi~h case it will be into October before Mr. White is permitted to resume operations.

He also advised that he has made arrangements to put together a 5000' rig which he had previously mentioned to Boone (see his memorandum of March 31, 1976). I told him he will have to file a change in plans and obtain our approval before he changes his casing plan or drills to a deeper depth. He mentioned he may want to run the next string of pipe a little deeper than 300 ft. I advised him we'd have to have a justification and that we'll consider it, because the purpose of setting the casing at 300' was to have the well in condition t.o control any surface gas he might enCOli.."'1ter. He understood this. - ---~ I .also advised him we have not been recelvlng the weekly reports. He countered by saying that he really hadn't been doing ar~thing on the location. I advised him he shotùd turn in a weekly report regardless as it is a matter of record and he should pick some certain day during the week whether it be Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday or whatever and each week submit the record on that day. He said he will do so. '01:ig.. S¡;d..) W. c. .WU Nl'H CK.11: W. C.

I. told him that was immaterial as far as we were concerned. We just wanted to see it turning to the right, pronto. . He further reported that he had 400' to 500' of 7" casing on hand but thought. he might change his mind and run 8" casing. He plarmed to set this string, either 7" or 8", at about 300' or slightly deeper if he wasn't drilling in a "firm, consolidated, hard rock formation." I reminded him again that he must receive prior approval for any significant change from the approved permit. Again, he was reminded, in a not too gentle manner, that he has not been sending in his weekly' reports on 9-331 forms. He closed by saying he intended to spend the entire month of July fishing for king salmon at his place in Kenai -- I told him if he didn't get in gear on the Alicia #1 he wouldn't even be 1000'deep by July. ~~-¿ Ken Boone cc: Alicia Well #1 Alicia Well #1 District 4-'- Chron KJBoon:beb:J/3l/76 -.-": ~._~ (~'->"'''''l~~:;~~-~D ~ \ ,>, '\ .' ::, v'_' .'\.;.ð .. ~. ,""""J-.. . -( r~;;¿ l::·d-·'-_W ,~ \. <;1.; <>_.". ..~._..,..".. ~, "_;;ß.pJlf;1'~-- ~.....- - x99 ---~. - ..

White called me at my residence again this evening. There is nothing definite, .but Mr. White says he is dickering with someóne(?) over the purchase pricè of ad:rïlling rig. .The hold up on subject well; according to Mr. White, is· his D-8cat,which is presently being worked on and which he must have in order to rip the frozen earth for pit and cellar. The drilling rig he is thinking about purchasing is of a type that can be jacked up and will need no cellar in order to install the BOP. A steel tank can be used as a mud pit. Cuttings from the well would be separatedby a shaker screen and dumped on the ground. He wanted to get our thoughts on this and' I told him we didn I t care what· he drilled the well with, but was concerned over the time element. He said the time required to get his cat repaired and the purchase of the rig would be about the same, two to three weeks. I told him that I didn't see anything wrong with his p.lans, and, in fact, if it would speed up the completion of this well we were all for it.

Wumrlcke SUBJECT: Alicia #1, Lease A-063937 Jim White called on March 10, 1976 and talked to Bob Goff and me concerning diligent drilling operations on the subject well. I read him relevant parts of two decisions of the Department of Interior Office of Hearings and Appeals, which speak to what diligent drilling operation means and what must be done to qualify for a lease extension. The decisions read from are "IBLA '75-362, Daisy E. Hook, et al decided July 16, 1975" and IIIBLA 75-339, D. L. Cook decided June 4, 1975.11 I have declined to write him a letter explaining diligent drilling operations in order to forestall furthe-r nit-picking about a possible myriad of conditions, cases" and solorth but did say that I would send the first page of IBM 75-339 with Dale Roberts for White which includes thettatement in part 11__ as demonstrated by circumstances; e.g;, by showing that operations were thereafter expeditiously carried forward to such an extent that the iffort constituted an acceptable test of a geologic stratum where it could reasonably be anticipated that commercial quantities of oil and/or gas might be discovered." White intends to cement the ten inch casing tomorrow, March 11, 1976 in the afternoon. I told him that Dale Roberts and probably one of the BLM men would be at his location to witness the operation. Upon questioning, he said the location survey is 95% complete. Also, I reminded him of the requirement to timely file weekly reports. He wanted to know if I was about to send the U. S. Marshall to shut him down. I told him no, that he would be given a reasonable (I did not define reasonable) time to meet the requirements for extension. I also told him that if he wants to change his plans and withdraw his applicati.on he may¡td5> so. He responded by saying that he plans to complete the operation. -~-- . . I told him that when he reaches the objectives stated in the applioation for permit to drill o~enco1.1Ilters commercial quanti ties of oil and gas before reaching that depth, and meets all the requiremç.ts attached to the approved APD we will then notify BLM that the diligent drilling requirements have been met. (Orig. Sgr.!.). W. G. WUNNJcQ w. C. Wunr>..i cke co: Alicia #1 Alicia #1 District---~ Chron WCWunniake:bem:3/Il/76 k . . March 10, 1976 MEMORANDUM TO: Files FROM: W. C. Wunnicke SUBJECT: Alicia Well #1, Lease A-063937 Mr. White called me at me residence at 8:30 p.m., March 8, 1976, to inform me they were going to cement the 10" surface casing Thursday afternoon. I advised him we would have a representative there to witness to operation. He inquired what we mean by diligent drilling? He seemed to indicate that he felt he had been performing diligent drilling operations and that his lease should be extended for two years. . I told him I did not consider the operation he has performed to date as being enough to justify extension of the lease term. I advised him that the plan as he submitted, and was approved by this office would'be considered diligent drilling operations. A possibility exists that he might enC01.mter commercial quantities of oil or gas before he reaches his total dépth, but primarily I considered diligent drilling operations to be drilling and cementing the surface casing, which is to be set at approximately 100 feet, the next string of pipe set and cemented at approximately 300 feet, and to continue to his objective. At one point in the conversation he asked who our lawyer was. I told him we didn't have a lawyer as such, we have Interior Department Solicitors and we have the Justice Department to draw on. At another point in the conversation he said he would come in Wednes- day, and talk to us. I told him he was welcome to come in at a:ny time ánd if he wanted to bring his lawyer along he is free to do so. Later in the conversation he decided against coming in Wednesday as it would cost him several hundred dollars. He also delved into the problems he is having digging pits, that there are certain alternatives he could use, but what he is attempting to do is to rip the ground with a D-8 cat. He has been working on the cat and thinks he finally got it in operating conditions and should be digging pits tomorrow. It was a rather lengthly conversation, the main point seemed to be that he is of the opinion the lease should be extended because he has been performing diligent operations and I was equally insistent, that in my view, he has not demons~rated, at this point,t~at he is performing. diligent drilling operations. In my view the' casing has to be run and properly cemented and he' should continue drilling to his objective. ~~-~,-~- . . Two or three times in the conversation I told him that should he encounter commercial quantities of oil or gas before he reaches his objective that he would not necessarily have to drill to the 1400 feet as outlined in his drilling application. The prime objective is to reach the approved depth, or to discover commercial quantities of oil and gas before he gets there. One thing I fai~ed to do, was to ask him to confirm what his plans are in,writing. I did however, tell him several times during the conversation, that we expect him to follow through on his plan. At another point in the conversation, he asked me to write him a letter telling him what diligent operations was, or is. I told him that I didn't think that was necessary, that we had approved his plan, and we expected him to perform that which he outlined in his plan. . Sue Christopherson, BUM, advise~ me on March 9, 1976, that Mr. White called insisting on a lease extension. She told White that USGS has to make the "diligent drilling" de~èrmination and notify BLM before BUM can extend the lease term. w. C.

February 5, 1976 Memorandum To: Fil$s From: Dal.e Roberts Subject.: Extension of Lease No. A-063937 Jim Wh1 te Prospect On Saturday, Jmuary 31, 1976, I traveled to ,GlêIl11allen to be a witness to the fact that Mr. Wh1 te would 'be conducting sincere drilling operations on said lease through the deadline date of midnight, January 31st. I arrived at subject lease at 4:00 p.m.. M&W Drilling Company, the contractor, bad a rig standing by waiting for a eat to clean more needed spaCè at the location. The rig 1s a new porta-drill, Model TC-IO. It is morfJ than capable of drilling the 1,400 ft. submitted in Mr. White's Plan of Operation. .Aftèr the eat had cleared approximately i to 3/4 of an acre, the rig moved to the driU site and set up. Spud in was at 7:10 p.m. witb a 12t" bit. Using air to drill, they drilled to 60 ft. by lQ¥OO p.m. At this time the rig was shut down and the GreW went to the Tosona Lodge for dinner, returning at 11:30 p.m. OVer the deadline date, Operator was eleaning out the hole, and by 12:30 p.m., had pulled out of hole, laid down the drillpipe and rig was shut down for the night. Sunday, February 1st, Mr. White said they would finish drilling the 12t" hole to 100 ft. and run the 10" casing today, but it would probably be Tuesday, or Wednesday before he got Hal.iburton out of Kenai to do the cementing. He would have Ha.1.iburton stand by until they drilled 200 ft. of 8 3/4" hole and have them cement the 7" also. In the meantime, there is plenty 01" work to be done on the location, such as digging a ooller, a pit, and build a 2 ft. berm ar01md the location and lots of road work. I reminded Mr. White to be sure to call us in plenty of time before oementing, in case we want to send up a witness. I also reminded him of his need to have the location surveyed. N01-f[) -~._,- k~-~ 1- - . . I took a series of pictures around the location, collected some drill cutting samples and was on 7.IJY' way back to Anehorage at 1:00 p.m. arriving home at 5:30 p.m. / I!

February 5, 1976 Memorandum To: Files From: Oil and Gas Supervisor, Alaska Area Subject: Field Inspection - Drilling Prospect, Lease A-063937 Section 23, T. 4 No. R. 4W., Copper River Meridian Jim White, Proponent A predrilling site inspection of the subject location was made on January 12, 1976. Inspection consisted of the following: Jim White, Proponent Jerry Fisher, one of Mr. White's advisors Jon M. Dolak, BLM, Glennallen, Realty Officer Bruce Barrett, Alaska Department of Fish and Game, Anchorage Dale Roberts, USGS Ken Stafford, USGS W. C. Wunni cke, USGS The proposed subject site is locat~d in the approximate center of Section 23, some 200 - 300 feet 'northeast of the Shepard's Spring V.ABJ.-Æ tower. The exact location had not been staked. We walked to the location over a trail cleared through the spruce timbe-r for approximately i mile, then east over a cleared trail to the VABM tower. There was about 10 inches of snow cover. The trail we followed crosses the Glenn Highway at approximately mile 175 and is designated the "Mud Lake Trail" on the T. 4 N., R. 4 W., CRM, BIM Use Map. I understand there is a 300 ft. easement for the trail (150 each side of centerline). The coniferous trees range in size up to 6 to 8 inChes at the base, and a maximum of about 50 feet high. The commercial value may be minimal. The proponent proposes to clear approximately 1 to 2 acres of area for the location, level the site for the drilling equipment and bulldqze out a reserve pit one blade wide and some 30 to 40 feet long. It was suggested that the pit be dug deep enough to contain all the fluid developed during the drilling operation, . that the trees be saved for use as a bridging material in filling the pit upon completion of the operation, that a motmd should be constructed over the pit to provide for settling and to avoid entrapment of rain and melt snow water. Also since this is a gas prospect, that provisions be made to prevent ignition of standing trees. .._. ..~_ ,_ _._.,_ _,_ .~.."___ _...'.__. .__,._.,._.r__,........._·_____._._··_.'~,___~,.,_. .___ "~'._ -."_·.···c.··.,....-· ,,~_'_'____" -';~..\"Ç " -- ---- ,...- .."....-.. .. . . White was also advised to place his location so as to avoid any of the springs reported to be in the area. We did not see the springs while viewing the area from the tower. Neither did we see evidence of any improvements, buildings, or other occupancy other than the Mud Lake Trail and a cleared path to the VABM tower. Both the BLM and ADF&G representatives expressed the opinion that if tree cutting and surface disturbance is held to a minimum, very little environmental damage would be done. White suggested that they could upgrade the road or trail and the location so that it could be used as a park or campground. Both BLM and ADF&G representatives vetoed this idea as they are of the opinion there are better areas for such installations in the near vicinity. ADF&G representative also vetoed White's suggestion that the fluid in the reserve pit could be hauled to some nearby gravel pit for disposal. In ADF&G's view, for this prospect at least, it will be more environmentally acceptable to dispose of the pit material in place and to cover with native soil. Mr. White did not have his drilling or development plan completed, but advised he will have it delivered to this office by noon, January 14, 1976. He was again advised to take into consider- ation permafrost, ground water and shallow gas potential in his drilling and development plan. Also, he was advised he is required to fulfill the bond requirements. We gave him several copies of the Designation of Agent for his use. Mr. Jerry Fischer, was one of the people that had an interest in the drilling equipment that drilled the Billy Buck Well, and Mr. White have discussed the gas potential and what possible problems they could get into with the shallow gas. Gas was encountered in that water well at approximately 160 feet. The .. well is some several miles east of t~: prospe~t. . / . ~b~~ W. C.

PROPOSED ACTION Copper Valley Machine Works, Inc., proposes to drill the Alicia No.1 well, an exploratory well in the NEkSWk Section 23, T. 4 N., R. 4 W., CRM, on Federal lease Anchorage 063937 in the Copper River Basin physiographic province. The entire drilling oper- . ation is to be conducted during the winter season (Exhibit III). The total depth of the well will be 1400 feet or no less than 300 feet below the surficial deposits into the Cretaceous, whichever comes first. The well will spud in surficial perma- frost and will be drilling through recent deposits of clay and gravel. Upon receipt of an approved Notice of Intention to Drill, the Operator plans to move in construction equipment over the existing Mud Lake Trail. The Operator plans to make the trail more sui t- able for use by normal road vehicles from the Glenn Highway by blading with a D-6 Catapillar or similar equipment. Up to two acres of land will be cleared of trees and undergrowth for the drill site. Two pits will be dug. The mud pit will be about 50 feet in length, 8 feet wide, and 8 feet deep. The flare pit will be about 20 feet in length, 8 feet wide, and 4 feet deep. Top soil will be removed and set aside for later use when the site is being restored. Water will be hauled to the site fQr the drilling operation. Rig personnel will be housed in Glennallen and will commute to the drill site by truck. "Porta Can" type chemical toilets will be provided at site for personnel use. Waste and excess drilling fluid will be contained in the mud pit. Waste com- bustibles will be burned in the flare pit. After drilling operations are completed, all remaining debris, including cut trees and undergrowth, will be placed into the mud pit and flare pit. The pits with the debris will be covered with dirt excavated during the construction phase of the operation. The dirt will be compacted into mounds over the pits to allow for settling and drainage. The remainder of the drill site will be bladed smooth in a marmer that will insure that it will properly drain. The entire drill site will be covered with top soil and seeded with grass. __ H 1 . . LOCATION AND NATURAL SETTING The proposed well is located in the Copper River Basin about twelve miles west of Glennallen and about a half mile north of the Glenn Highway near the Shepard benchmark. The elevation of the benchmark is 2172 feet (Exhibit VII). An on site inspection of the proposed drill site was made on January 12, 1976 by the three representatives of this office and representatives from Bureau of Land Management, Alaska Department of Fish and Game, the operator and the operator's construction supervisor. Photographs of the proposed well si te and area were taken on this inspection trip and are available for viewing at this office (Exhibit VI). The climate in the area is milder than in some parts of Interior Alaska. Mean January temperatures range from -16 of. to 4 of. Extreme low temperatures of -50oF. have been reported. The area gets about 12 inches of precipitation annually including 50 inches of snow (Ref: 2 and 3). The proposed well is in an isolated region of continuous perma- frost. The-expecte4-depth of the permafrost at the drillsite is expected to be about 30-70 feet (Ref: 2-4). In the area of the proposed drill site, low rolling hills are the predominate terrain feature. There are numerous sma.ll lakes, ponds, and springs in the area. The area is heavily forested with black spruce. At the drill site the maximum diameter of the trees is about eight inches at the base and stand no higher than 50 feet. MOose, caribou, wolves, wolverines, and bear (black and brown- grizzly) inhabit the area.. The drillsi te is within..an area grazed by moose and is at the edge of the caribou winter mi- gration range. The caribou herd in the. area is called the Nelchina herd. In 1970 the· herd number-about 60,000 making it the third largest in Alaska and 10% of the total in the state. Othermarmnals possibly within the area include snowshoe hare, red fox, lynx, and red squirrel (Ref: 1). Sharptail grouse, ptarmigan, ravens, hawks, woodland owls, some shorebirds and songbirds live in the area. The lakes, ponds, and springs in the area are likely locations for nesting and sanctuary (Ref: 4). 2 . . A lake containing fish is located four miles from the drillsite. It is presumed that springs in the area of the drillsite do not feed the lake from the surfacè. The Tazlina River is located one and one half miles south of the drillsite. There are no reported historical sites in the immediate vicinity of the drillsite and nothing of any historical significance was seen above the snow cover, however, the possibility of cultural material existing at the site, particularly prehistoric material carmot be overlooked. Ahtna Natives now live in the Copper River Basin and earlier occupation by other members of the Athabascan culture has been indicated. GEOLOGY The geology of the area is set forth in a memorandum prepared by J. E. Callahan of the Office of the Area Geologist. The report states: The well location lies in the southcentral part of the Copper River lowland physigraphi c province. The immediate area is covered by lacustrine deposits Com- plexly intercalated with glacial drift (Nichols and Yehle, 1961). The area was apparently covered by a large lake or series of lakes below the elevation of 2450 feet during Pleistocene time. The lacustrine deposits are described as sand and pebbly silt. The southern part of the Copper River Lowland is underlain by as much as 10000' of Jurassic and Creta- deous sediments, predominantly of lower Jurassic age, composed of part]~ altered volcanic and volcaniclas- tic rocks. Most favorable objectives for oil and gas explora- tion in the area have included the Tuxedni, Chinitna and Nadnek formations, all Jurassic in age, and the Nel- china formation of lower Cretaceous age. The young- est Cretaceous unit, the Matanuska formation, is pre- dominantly claystone and siltstone, but contains sandstone and conglomerate beds as well, and has some hydrocarbon potential. The thickness of the Matanuska formation is variable, but could be from 5000 to 8000 feet at the well loca- tion. 3 . . The Matanuska formation could be overlain by a thin(100'-300') Tertiary section. A hill about 6 miles to the west is capped by Tertiary conglomerate or conglomeratic sandstone, reportedly with thin coal beds. Three saline springs occur in the near vicinity of the well location. These have formed low (25' -40 t ) mounds described as mud volcanoes. These mud volcanoes flow saline water and small amounts of gas. Analyses of the water are inconclusive as to the origin, though there is a possibility that it is at least partially cormate water derived from underlying sedimentary rocks. The gas is primarily methane and nitrogen, suggesting that it originated in Tertiary or older coal beds or buried Pleistocene marsh deposits. One of the three mud volcanoes is within a few hundred feet of the well location. However, it has been inactive at least since the late 1950's (Nichols and Yehle, 1961). 4' -L. , , , I : , , ~ I j , .

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT EVALUATION The following is a discussion of the impact of the proposed action on existing characteristics and conditions of the envirorunent: Land Use In this catagory only "scenic view" and "historical sites" could be significantly effected by any phase of the operation. The effect on scenic views would be temporary and minimal. There are no known historical or archeological sites at the site, however, if an archeological site coincides with the well si te it would probably be permanently damaged. It is unlikely that artifacts will be found on the surface, therefore, the most damage would occur while digging the pits. Flora & Fauna Due to the proximity of the drill site to the Glenn Highway and the town of Glennallen, it is doubtful the drilling operations will have much additional effect on the land animals and birds in the area. Any displacement that occurs would only be tem~ porary. The area at the drill site cleared of trees and under- growth will be reconditioned to allow for eventual recovery to its natural state. Physical Characterics In the initial drilling phase of operation, underground water could be effected before casing could be set. During the remainder of the operation this water will be protected by cemented casing. Permafrost has also been considered in the casing design. Air pollution will be limited to exhaust gases of trucks and engines used in the operation. Some air pollution could also occur if gas from the well is flared. MITIGATING MEASURES Some mitigating requirements or alternatives to avoid or reduce envirorunental impact which are a part of the application or should be included as conditions to the permit are as follows: .______.._.m__._.._...__ 5 . . 1. Drilling procedures and equipment, including blowout prevention equipment and testing procedures, to assure protection against accidental loss of control of the well, waste of oil and gas, and discharge of uncontained fluids on the surface. , 2. Casing and cementing plans designed to protect sub- surface formations, minerals, and water. 3. Solid waste handling, air quality controls, and sewage disposal provisions in accordance with the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation requirements. 4. Construction and rehabilitation of reserve and other fluid containment pits so as to minimize seepage of waste fluids into surface waters upon abandonment of pits. Stock- piling of top soil to be replaced after completion to aid in revegatation. 5. Plan for oil spill containment, control and cleanup in the unlikely event of an uncontrolled oil spill. 6. No drilling or associated surface disturbance will occur within 150 feet of springs near site to protect surface water and avoid disturbance of possible archeological sites. 7. Access is restricted to existing trail. Use of the trail will be restricted during the period of April 15 - November 15. During this period access will only be allowed under special permit from the authorizing officer of the Bureau of Land Management. DETERMINATION The adverse effects of this proposed drilling operation are considered relatively minor or temporary. Operational requirements under the lease terms and regulations, mitigating measures included in the applicant's plans, special stipulations added to the permit and monitoring of operations during critical phases will minimize adverse environmental impact. Comments and recommendations regarding the proposed operation were received from the Area Geologist, Bureau of Land Manage- ment, Alaska Department of Fish and Game, Alaska Department of Oil and Gas, and Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation. All of the above agencies have been offered the opportunity by the operator to visit, inspect, or monitor surface related operations (Exhibits V and I-B). --- ------.. -~---- ._,- 6. . . Many of the constructive comments and suggestions by the Federal and State agencies have either been incorporated in the operations plan or will be required in the approval of the application. If there are any further significant changes in the plans of operation, the applicant will be required to furnish additional alternate plans for study and consideration. Our review indicates the subject proposal falls in the catagory of a "usual" oil and gas proposal as outlined in the Chief's memorandum of May 3, 1973, to Regional Managers and further indicates no reasonable alternative to the proposed action which would provide the equivalent in safety operations, logistics, and minimal environmental damage.

Geologic Input for Environmental Assessment, Alicia No. 1 Well Copper River Basin ": ,.... .-.~ .'~' :. '. The well location lies in the southcentra1 part of the Copper River lowland physigraphic province. The immediate area is covered by lacustrine deposits complexly intercalated with glacial drift (Nichols and Yehle, 1961). The area was apparently covered by a large lake or series of lakes below the elevation of 2450 feet during Pleistocene time. The lacustrine deposits are described as sand and pebbly silt. The southern part of the Copper River Lowland is underlain by as much as 10000' of Jurassic and Cretaceous sediments, predominantly of lower Jurassic age, .composed of partly altered volcanic and volcaniclastic rocks. Most favorable objectives for oil and gas exploration in the area have included the Tuxedni, Chinitna and Naknek formations, all Jurassic in age, and the Nelchina formation of lower Cretaceous age. The youngest Cretaceous unit, the Matanuska formation, is predominantly claystone and siltstone, but contains sandstone and conglomerate beds as well, and has some hydrocarbon 'Potential. The thickness of the Matanuska formation is variable, but could be from 5000 to 8000 ~feet at the well location. The Matanuska formation could be overlain by a thin (100'-300') Tertiary section. A hill about 6 miles to the west is capped by Tertiary conglomerate or conglomeratic sandstone, reportedly with thin coal beds. Three~saline springs occur in the near vicinity of the well location. These have formed low (25'-40') mounds described as mud volcanoes. These mud volcanoes flow saline water and small amounts of gas. Analyses of the water are inconclusive as to the origin, though there is a possibility that it is at least partially connate water derived from underlying sedimentary rocks. The gas is primarily methane and nitrogen, suggesting that it originated in ~Tertiary or older coal beds or buried Pleistocene marsh deposits. One of the three mud volcanoes is within a few hundred feet of the well location. However, it has been inactive at least since the late 1950's (Nichols and Yehle, 1961). .- , <..... ..-.... -. .PPER VALLEY MACHINE VORKSf!I.ifC. P.O.
