the Hansen H -12-L05 development oil well ) Cosmopolitan Unit
branch within the same governmental ) Hansen Undefined Oil Pool
quarter section as wells and well branches ) Hansen H -12-L05
that are, or may be capable of, producing ) Oil Development Well Branch
from the same pool. ) Kenai Peninsula Borough, Alaska
April 27, 2018
IT APPEARING THAT:
By a letter received March 7, 2018, BlueCrest Alaska Operating LLC (BlueCrest) requested
an exception to the statewide spacing requirements of 20 AAC 25.055 to drill and complete
the Hansen H -12-L05 development oil well branch within the same governmental quarter
section as wells that are, or may be capable of, producing from the same pool. Hansen H -12-
L05 will also lie within 1,000 feet of wells and well branches that are, or may be capable of,
producing from the same pool.
Pursuant to 20 AAC 25.540, the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (AOGCCJ
tentatively scheduled a public hearing for April 26, 2018. On March 12, 2018, 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 March 13, 2018, the AOGCC published
the notice in the ANCHORAGE DAILY NEWS.
3. 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 -12-L05 development
well branch, i.e., the State of Alaska, and provided 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 following the 30 -day public comment
period.
6. BlueCrest's application 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, located
within the Cook Inlet, Kenai Peninsula Borough, Alaska.
2. Hansen H -12-L05 will be a horizontal, development oil well branch drilled directionally to
the northwest from an onshore surface location at 2,329 feet from the south line (FSL) and
1,524 feet from the east line (FEL) of Section 2, Township 4 South, Range 15 West, Seward
Meridian (S.M.). The top of the Hansen Undefined producing interval location will lie
offshore about 1,136 feet FSL and 170 feet FEL of Section 29, Township 3 South (T3S),
Conservation Order 744
April 27, 2018
Page 2 of 3
Range 15 West (R15W), S.M. The bottom -hole location will lie offshore about 1,840 feet
FSL and 1,279 feet FEL of Section 29, T3S, R15 W, S.M.
The surface location for the Hansen H -12-L05 lies on private property. The top -of -productive
interval and bottom -hole locations will lie within State of Alaska lease ADL 384403.
4. Hansen H-12-1,05 will target reservoirs within the Hansen Undefined Oil Pool.
5. Hansen H-12-1,05 will be located within the same governmental sections as, and within 1,000
feet of, development oil wells Hansen H-12, Hansen H-14 and Hansen H-16 and well branches
Hansen H -12-L04, Hansen H -12-L06, and Hansen H -14L1 that are, or may be capable of,
producing from the same oil pool.
6. The well path and bottom -hole location for Hansen H -12-L05 were chosen—based on
reservoir mapping and modeling results—to 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 and well branches.
CONCLUSIONS:
I . 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-12-1,05 development oil
well branch at a location that will maximize resource recovery.
2. Granting an exception to the well spacing provisions of 20 AAC 25.055(a)(3) for the Hansen
H-12-1,05 well branch will not result in waste or jeopardize correlative rights of adjoining or
nearby owners.
NOW THEREFORE IT IS ORDERED:
The AOGCC grants B1ueCrest's March 7, 2018, 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 -12-L05 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

Subject: RE: Spacing Exception Applications for Hansen H-12 and Laterals
Good afternoon Steve,
I am sorry I did not include the justification again with the package. The reasoning for the exemption is the very similar
to previous well. Reservoir modeling indicates that the optimum spacing for the laterals is 800'. Because of that
spacing, the laterals are in conflict with each other as well as neighboring wells. Also, due to the 303° azimuth we are
drilling for hole stability, there are multiple instances where two or more of the laterals will be within the same ''/<
section. Fot these reasons, in lieu of pool rules that would allow for this unique and field specific spacing, BlueCrest
Energy is requesting a spacing exception.
Please let me know if you have any further questions or concerns.
Regards,
Andrew Buchanan

Subject: FW: Spacing Exception Applications for Hansen H-12 and Laterals
Andrew,
I'm working on draft text for the spacing exception decisions for Hansen H-12 and laterals. The only item lacking in
BlueCrest's applications for these exceptions is an explanation as to why BlueCrest selected the currently planned
bottom -hole locations for the well and its branches rather than drill them to locations that conform to statewide spacing
regulations. Is your statement for H-16 and H-161-1-ST1, below, also accurate for H-12 and its branches?
Thanks,

Dear Commissioners, AOGCC
BlueCrest Alaska Operating LLC hereby applies for a spacing exception for the horizontal production well 141245. 1412-1-5 will
lie within the same governmental quarter sections as, Hansen 1AL1, H16 and H14 development oil wells that are open to the
Cosmopolitan Undefined Oil Pool and are, or expecting to be, actively producing oil. Accordingly, an exception to statewide
spacing requirements is requested. BlueCrest Energy is the only effected working interest owner and operator within the
leasehold contacting the Cosmopolitan Undefined Oil Pool. The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) and Alaska
Department of Natural Resources Division of Oil and Gas (ANDR DOG) have been notified of BlueCrest Energy's intent to
submit this application for exception. The necessary documentation confirming notice is included in the attached.
Please find attached for the review of the Commission the information required by 20 ACC 25.055 for this well bore.
If you have any questions or require further information, please do not hesitate to contact Tom McKay at 907-754-9566.
