Re: THE APPLICATION OF BlueCrest Alaska
Operating LLC to drill and complete the
Hansen H -16-L1 development oil well branch
within the same governmental quarter section
as a well that is, or may be capable of,
producing from the same pool.
IT APPEARING THAT:
Docket Number: CO -17-014
Conservation Order 737
Cosmopolitan Unit
Hansen Undefined Oil Pool
Hansen H -16-L1
Oil Development Well Branch
Kenai Borough, Alaska
February 8, 2018
By letter dated July 14, 2017, BlueCrest Alaska Operating LLC (BlueCrest) requested an
exception to the spacing requirements of 20 AAC 25.055 to drill the Hansen H -16-L1
development oil well branch within the same governmental quarter sections as
development oil wells Hansen H-14 and Hansen H-16 and development oil well branch
Hansen IALI, which are, or may be capable of, producing from the same pool.
2. Pursuant to 20 AAC 25.540, the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (AOGCC)
tentatively scheduled a public hearing for September 14, 2017. On July 18, 2017, the
AOGCC published notice of the opportunity for that hearing on the State of Alaska's
Online Public Notice website and on the AOGCC's website, electronically transmitted the
notice to all persons on the AOGCC's email distribution list, and mailed printed copies of
the notice to all persons on the AOGCC's mailing distribution list. On July 19, 2017, the
AOGCC published the notice in the ALASKA DISPATCH NEWS.
3. Pursuant to 20 AAC 25.055(d)(1), BlueCrest sent by certified mail notice of the application
to all owners, landowners, and operators of all properties within 1,000 feet of the proposed
Hansen H -16-L1 development well branch, i.e., the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management
and the State of Alaska. BlueCrest provided the AOGCC the notice, addresses to which
the notices were delivered, and Certified Mail receipts.
4. No comments or request for hearing were received regarding BlueCrest's application.
5. The tentatively scheduled public hearing was vacated on August 7, 2017.
6. B1ueCrest's application and supplemental correspondence provided sufficient information
upon which to make an informed decision.
FINDINGS:
1. BlueCrest is the operator and sole working interest owner of the Cosmopolitan Unit, which
is located within the Cook Inlet, Kenai Peninsula Borough, Alaska.
2. The proposed Hansen H -16-L1 will be a horizontal development oil well branch drilled
from an onshore surface location of 2329 feet from the south line and 1524 feet from the
east line of Section 2, Township 4 South, Range 15 West, Seward Meridian (S.M.) to an
offshore bottom -hole location of 1867 feet from the south line and 2946 feet from the east
line of Section 29, Township 3 South, Range 15 West, S.M.
CO 737

3. The surface location for the proposed Hansen H -16-L1 lies on private property. The top -
of -productive -interval and bottom -hole locations will lie within State of Alaska leases ADL
18790 and ADL 384403, respectively.
4. Hansen H -16-L1 will target Tertiary -aged Starichkof (lower Tyonek) and/or Hemlock
reservoirs within the Hansen Undefined Oil Pool.
5. Hansen H -16-L1 will be located within the same governmental quarter section as
development oil wells Hansen IA, Hansen H-14, and Hansen H-16 and development oil
well branches Hansen IA -Ll, and Hansen H -14-L1. Hansen H -16-L1 will be located
within 1,000 feet of development oil well Hansen IA and development oil well branch
Hansen IA -L.
6. Hansen 1A, Hansen lA-Ll, Hansen H-14, Hansen 14-L1, and Hansen H-16 are, or may be
capable of, producing from the Hansen Undefined Oil Pool.
7. The well path and bottom -hole location for Hansen H -16-L1 were chosen based on
reservoir mapping and modeling results. Reservoir modeling demonstrates that 800 feet is
an optimum well spacing between parallel, extended -reach producers and injectors to
maximize oil recovery from the Cosmopolitan Field, and that wells and lateral well
branches drilled across the structure are the most effective means of draining the Hansen
Undefined Oil Pool. Hansen H -16-L1 will be drilled parallel to the maximum stress
direction in the Cosmopolitan Field to optimize wellbore stability.
8. Optimal well spacing, use of wells and lateral well branches, and drilling in a direction to
optimize wellbore stability will ensure greater ultimate recovery by maximizing the amount
of wellbore open to the reservoirs and extracting oil that cannot be efficiently produced by
existing wells or by wells and well branches drilled in accordance with the well spacing
provisions of 20 AAC 25.055(a)(3).
CONCLUSIONS:
1. An exception to the well spacing provisions of 20 AAC 25.055(a)(3) is necessary to allow
the drilling, completion, testing, and regular production of the Hansen H -16-L1
development oil well branch.
2. Granting an exception to the well spacing provisions of 20 AAC 25.055(a)(3) for the
Hansen H -16-L1 well branch will not result in waste or jeopardize correlative rights of
adjoining or nearby owners.
NOW THEREFORE IT IS ORDERED:
The AOGCC grants BlueCrest's July 14, 2017, application for an exception to the well spacing
provisions of 20 AAC 25.055(a)(3) to allow drilling, completion, testing, and regular production
of the Hansen H -16-L1 development oil well branch within the Hansen Undefined Oil Pool.
BlueCrest may proceed as long as it complies with all applicable laws, and all other legal
requirements.

grants for good cause shown, a person affected by it may file with the AOGCC an application for reconsideration of the matter determined by it.
If the notice was mailed, then the period of time shall be 23 days. An application for reconsideration most set out the respect in which the order
or decision is believed to be erroneous.
The AOGCC shall grant or refuse the application for reconsideration in whole or in part within 10 days after it is filed. Failure to act on it within
I0 -days is a denial of reconsideration. If the AOGCC denies reconsideration, upon denial, this order or decision and the denial of reconsideration
are FINAL and may be appealed to superior court. The appeal MUST be filed within 33 days atter the date on which the AOGCC mails, OR 30
days if the AOGCC otherwise distributes, the order or decision denying reconsideration, UNLESS the denial is by inaction, in which case the
appeal MUST be filed within 40 days after the date on which the application for reconsideration was filed.
If the AOGCC grants an application for reconsideration, this order or decision does not become final. Rather, the order or decision on

Subject: RE: Spacing Exception Applications for Hansen H-161-1 and H-161-1-ST1
Steve,
Sorry for the late response. As you can imagine, things around here have been a little hectic.
Reservoir modeling has shown that the optimum spacing to maximize oil recovery from the Cosmopolitan field is 800'
between producers and injectors. Modeling has further shown that dual laterals across the structure are the most
effective means of draining the reservoir which has vertical thickness of over 600' above the oil/water contact at the
crest of the structure. From a wellbore stability standpoint, the optimum direction to drill the wells is parallel to
maximum stress which, in the Cosmopolitan field, is an azimuth of 303'. The combination of optimal spacing and dual
laterals for maximum recovery, along with optimal direction for wellbore stability, creates a situation where we will have
more than a single wellbore within a''/< section. In lieu of pool rules that would allow this unique and field specific
spacing, BlueCrest Energy is requesting a spacing exception.
Please let me know if you have any further questions or further explanation is required.

Andrew Buchanan

Andrew,
I'm working on these spacing exceptions and one thing lacking in the applications is an explanation from BlueCrest as to
why BlueCrest selected the currently planned bottom -hole locations for these wellbores rather than drill them to
locations that conform to statewide spacing regulations. Could you please provide a brief explanation?

2. Requirements of 20 AAC 25.055 (b)
A well may not begin regular production of oil from a property that is smaller than the governmental quarter section upon
which the well is located or begin regular production of gas from a property that is smaller than the governmental section
upon which the well is located, unless the interests of the persons owning the drilling rights in and the right to share in the
production from the quarter section or section, respectively, have been pooled under AS 31.05.100.
