Attention: Mr. VonDerahe
Gentlemen:
Enclosed are the IILessee's Monthly Report of Operations"
for the months of January, February, and March, 1964,
and the "Well Completion Reportll for Mobil's Salmonberry
Lake Unit #1 as was requested by you on October 12, 1964.
It is our belief that these forms were either mailed to
you or that we were instructed that it was not necessary
to give you a monthly report since the well was not on
state acreage and did not involve state acreage in any
manner. At any rate, we are sorry for any inconvenience
caused you by this. If there is anything we can do for
you in the future, please do not hesitate to callan us.
Sincerely,
{t/(~.

FORM OF UNIT AGREEMENT,
PROPOSED SALMON BERRY LAKE
UNIT, STATE OF ALASKA
The Director
United Stat~s Geological Survey
Washington 25, D. C.
via
Regional Oil &t Gas Supervisor
Alaska Region
United States Geological Survey
Box 259
Anchorage, Alaska
Dear Sir:
Application is herewith made for designation of the Salmon Berry Lake Unit area
as an area logically subject to development under a U:riìt Agreement and for
determination of the depth of a test well and for approval of the proposed form of
Unit Agreement for the proposed Salmon Berry Lake Unit.
The proposed SalmonBerry Lake Unit is located approximately 28 miles west by
northwest of Glennallen, Alaska, as measured from the center of the proposed
unit area.
Filed concurrently herewith is a Geologic Report for the proposed SalmonBerry
Lake Unit area, which report is marked "Confidential". Said Geologic Report
is the basis for unit proponent's request for designation of the Salmon Berry Lake
area as a logical unit area.
The proposed Salmon Berry Lake Unit is shown on Exhibit "A" attached hereto,
and contains 50,043.00 acres, more or less. Ownership of lands within the
proposed unit is 100% Federal. There has been no determination of navigability
.
.
The Dire ctor
United States Geological Survey

as .to the inland water bodies; therefore they are herein presumed to be Federal
in' ownership. Acreage is only approximate, as exact acreage of unsurveyed
lands is unknown.
The above-referenced Exhibit "A" shows the lease ownership of all lands in the
proposed Salmon Berry Lake Unit area, with leases identified by Bureau of
Land Management serial numbers. These leases are as follows:
Anchorage 035073
035074
035075
035076
035591

A unit plan for the exploration and development of the Salmon Berry Lake Unit
area will be prepared and submitted for approval as soon as it is indicated that
the proposed unit area as outlined is acceptable for unitization. The Unit
Agreement to be submitted will be the 1961 reprint of the standard 'form of Unit
Agreement, with the changes proposed in Exhibit "B" hereto.
Unit proponent proposes that the test well to be drilled upon said Salmon Berry
Lake Unit area be drilled to a sufficient depth to test to the satisfaction of the
Supervisor all possible oil and gas reservoirs of Mesozoic age, unless at a lesser
depth unitized substances shall have been discovered which can be produced in
paying quantities, or the unit operator shall at any time establish to the satisfaction.
of the Supervisor that further drilling of said well would be unwarranted or
impracticable; provided, however, that the unit operator shall not be required to
drill said well below a 'depth of 8500 feet. Unit proponent also requests that the
form of Unit Agreement referred to hereinabove, as modified by Exhibit liB"
hereto, be approved for use in the proposed Salmon Berry Lake Unit area.
Respectfully submitted,

EXHIBIT "B"
TO APPLICA TION FOR DESIGNATION
OF SALMON BERRY LAKE UNIT AREA, STATE OF ALASKA
The proposed form of unit agreement will be the 1961 reprint of the
standard form of unit agreement, with only the following modifications:
1. Added onto the end of Section 9 (Drilling to Discovery) as a new
paragraph wil~ be the following:
"Notwithstanding anything else in this agreement to the contrary
except Section 25 (Unavoidable Delay), the drilling obligations
for the first three test wells or until discovery of unitized sub-
stances in paying quantities, whichever occurs earlier, shall
,
be specified in this paragraph. Unit Operator shall be require~
to commence three such test wells as follows: One within six
months after approval of the unit agreement, with the understanding
that any such well commenced after November 1, 1963 will be
accepted, one within two years after approval hereof, and one
within three years after approval hereof. Prior to discovery of
unitized substances in paying quantities, failure to commence
timely drilling will result in automatic termination of this unit
agreement as of the first day of the seventh, twenty-fifth, or
thirty-seventh month, respectively, following such approval. As
to said three wells, the Director may grant reasonable extensions
of time, but only in event the Director determines conditions beyond
the control of Unit Operator so warrant. In event the first or second
"
.
.
well discovers unitized substances in paying quantities, any
remaining well of the three shall no ¡onger be due as an
exploratory test well, but all unit development after said
discovery shall be under an approved plan of development.
Upon completion of the three-well obligation or upon discovery
of paying unit production, this paragraph shall have no further
significance. "
I
2. Added as the new penultimate paragraph of Section 14 (Royalty
Settlement) will be the following:
"1£ liquified petroleum gases obtained from lands or formations
not subject to this agreement be injected into the unitized land
for the purpose of increasing ultimate re covery, which shaU be
in conformance with a plan first approved by the Supervisor, part
or all of such liquified petroleum gases may be withdrawn royalty
free pursuant to such conditions and formulas as may be prescribed
or approved by the Supervisor."
3. Instead of Section 26 (Fair Employment) the following non-discrimination
section will be used:
NONDISCRIMINA TION. In connection with the performance of
work under this agreement, the Operator agrees to comply with
aU of the provisions of section 301(1) to (7) inclusive, of Executive
Order 10925 as amended (28 F .R.6485). which are hereby mcor-
porated by reference in this agreement.
Exhibit "B"
-2..
.
.
4. Added as a new section will be the approved "State Lands"
provisions (State of Alaska Form DL..93 June 1960).

The Copper River basin is fundamentally a marine Mesozoic province as
defined by outcropping formations on the western and eastern flanks. Most of
the basin proper including the proposed unit area is covered by Pleistocene and
Recent glacial and alluvial deposits.
Rocks considered as "basement" in this area are metamorphosed volcanics

and sediments which are unattractive for petroleum exploration. On the west
they comprise the 'ralkeetna formation of Early Jurassic age and' on the east
they are the Permo-Triassic Nikolai greenstone. Granite and undifferentiated
Paleozoic meta-sediments constitute the basement on the north.
The Jurassic section overlying the Talkeetna formation consists of shale
and sandstone of middle and late Jurassic age. The section is correlative,
and was probably originally contiguous, with that on the Alaska Peninsula
where it has been subdivided into the Naknek, Chinitna and Tuxedni formations.
Numerous oil seeps issue from these rocks in the latter area, but none are
.
known in the Copper River basin. However, the Socony Mobil Research Lab
has extracted petroleum from Jurassic shales from the Nelchina area.
The Ne1china formation of Early Cretaceous age consists of marine
calcarenite and sandstone having good reservoir characteristics. In outcrop
on the we~t these sediments are 800-1200 feet thick and may be much thicker
in the subsurface. These rocks are considered the most promising objectives
for petroleum accumulation in the area.
Marine shales of the Matanuska formation of Late Cretaceous age are
extensively exposed on the west flank of the basin where they reach a thickness
of 8000-10,000 feet. These beds were also found to contain extractable hydro-
carbons and are considered excellent source material for oil and gas. .
Tertiary nonmarine sediments are but sparsely exposed in this area and
are either thin or absent in the area of interest.

STRUCTURE
The structure shown on Exhibit A has been mapped exclusively by
seismic methods, and the contoured horizon is a seismic "phantom". The
proposed unit outline is based on the configuration of the -5200 foot contour.
A fault has been interpreted trending northerly across the structure based on
erratic dips; however"it does not aííect the total dip closure observed and there
is no reason to pre-suppose it would have an effect on oil or gas accumulation.
Several angular unconformities have been mapped on the surface within
the Mesozoic section. It is impossible therefore to predict accurately the
distribution and thickness of the formations in. the subsurface. However, a
.
refraction seismic line shot 10 miles to the east of the proposed unit identified
a high velocity layer thought to be basement at a depth of 7500 feet. Projection
along reflection seismic lines brings this layer in the area of the proposed unit
at a depth of approximately 8000 feet. Therefore, although it is the intent of
Socony Mobil to test the entire favorable Mesozoic section, a depth limit of
8500 feet is proposed to validate the unit.
PROPOSAL TO DRILL
Tentative location for the initial test well in the proposed unit is near the
center of the northwest quarter of the northwest quarter of Sec. 24, T. 6 N.,
R. 6 W., C.R.M. The well will be drilled to commercial production of oil
or gas or to a depth sufficient to explore all possible oil or gas reservoirs in
Mesozoic sediments down to the Lower Jurassic Talkeetna formation. or to
igneous or metamorphic rock, unless at any time the unit operator shall establish
