Subject: RE: Sak River #1A spacing location exception
Morning Jim,
In response to your request, Brooks Range Petroleum Corp. is proposing to drill the Sak River #1A from ADL0390429 to a BHL
location on ADL0390432. A segment of the well passes through ADL 0047468.
Normally, a Spacing Exception to 20 AAC 25.055(a)(1) would be required. In this case, the Sak River #1A does not intend to
produce that section of the well bore within 500' of the property boundary of ADL 0390429, ADL 0390432, and ADL 0047468, if oil
bearing reservoirs were encountered within that well segment. BRPC has a Designation of Operator for all three leases. Should
BRPC wish to produce from strata within 500' of the leases identified, a Spacing Exception to 20 AAC 25.055(a)(1) will be
required.
If you require additional information please do not hesitate to contact me.
Regards,
