By application dated October 21, 2003, Marathon Oil Company ("MOC") in its capacity as Operator of the Kenai Gas Field requested an order from the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission ("Commission") to formally define an add~tional gas pool within the field. i 2. Notice of a public hearing was published in the Anchorage Daily News on October 29, 2003. 3. The Commission received no objections to the application or request for public hearing. Findings: 1. Conservation Order 82 set forth Pool Rules for several gas bearing formations within the Kenai Gas Field on December 3, 1969. 2. The pools were designated as Sterling Gas Pools (five separate pools numbered 3, 4, 5.1,5.2, and 6) and Tyonek Gas Pool. 3. Conservation Order 175 amended spacing restrictions for wells within the Kenai Gas Field on July 9, 1981. 4. MOC requested that the interval from 4587' measured depth (MD) and 9155' MD in the KDU 1 well be defined as the Beluga/Upper Tyonek Gas Pool. 5. The top of the proposed Beluga/Upper Tyonek Gas Pool is coincident with the base of the Kenai Sterling Pool 6. 6. The bottom of the proposed Beluga/Upper Tyonek Gas Pool is coincident with the top of the Kenai Deep Tyonek gas pool. 7. The proposed Beluga/Upper Tyonek Gas Pool is consitent with the recently approved Bureau of Land Management BelugaJUpper Tyonek Commingled Participating Area. Conservation Order 510 February 11,2004 if I' It Page 2 Conclusions: 1. It is appropriate to define a new gas pool per MOC's request. 2. To eliminate confusion, all rules applying to the Kenai Gas Field should be included in one order. NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that: 1. Conservation Orders 82 and 175 are superceded by this order; 2. the area described as follows is affected by this order: Seward Meridian T4N, Rl1 W, Section 3: Lot 4, SW 1/4 NW 1/4, W 1/2 SW 1/4 Sections 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8: All Section 9: N 1/2, SW 1/4, W 1/2 SE 1/4 Section 16: N 1/2 NW 1/4, SW 1/4 NW 1/4, NW 1/4 SW 1/4 Sections 17 and 18: All Section 19: Lot 1, NE 1/4 NW 1/4, NE 1/4 Section 20: N 1/2 NW 1/4, SW 1/4 NW 1/4 T4N, R12W, Section 1: All Section 2: E 1/2 E 1/2 Section 11: E 1/2 NE 1/4 Section 12: All 13: Lots 5 through 12, easterly 2.50 acres of Lots 13 through 16, E 1/2 NW 1/4 NE 1/4, E 1/2 E 1/2, E 1/2 W 1/2 SE 1/4 NE 1/4, Section E 1/2 W 1/2 NW 1/4 SE 1/4, E 1/2 SW 1/4 NE 1/4, E 1/2 NW 1/4 SE 1/4, All of W 1/2 NE 1/4, E 1/2 NW1/4 lying westerly of coastline T5N, R11 W, Section 17: Lots 8 and 9, NW 1/4 SW 1/4, S 1/2 SW 1/4, All of Kenai Conservation Order 510 February 11, 2004 :( ,,' It Page 3 River Section 18: SE 1/4 SE 1/4 19: Lots 2, 6 through 13, SE 1/4, E 1/2 E 1/2 SE 1/4 SW 1/4, NE Section 1/4, All SE 1/4 NW 1/4, NE 1/4 SW 1/4, S 1/2 SW 1/4 lying westerly of coastline Section 20: S 1/2, NW 1/4, SW 1/4 NE 1/4, NW 1/4 NE 1/4 28: NW 1/4 NW1/4, S 1/2 NW Section 1/4, SW 1/4, W 1/2 SE 1/4, SE 1/4 SE 1/4 Sections 29 and 30: All 31: Lots 3 through 10, E 1/2, Section All that portion lying westerly of coastline Section 32 and 33: All Section 34: NW 1/4 NW 1/4, S 1/2 NW 1/4, SW 1/4, W 1/2 SE 1/4 T5N, RI2W, Section 25: SE 1/4 NE 1/4, E 1/2 SE 1/4 Section 36:E 1/2 Rule 1.

Cement must cover all potentially productive intervals behind the liner. Casing and well head equipment shall be hydrostatically tested to not less than 2,000 pounds per square inch pressure. (Source CO 82) Rule 4. Computed Bottom Hole Pressure Surveys A key well bottom hole pressure survey shall be taken in each pool upon Commission request; however, such surveys shall not be required more often than twice in any calendar year. Bottom hole pressure may be computed from surface measurements taken with a dead weight tester provided, however, than an approved bottom hole measuring device shall be used when the accuracy of the computed bottom hole pressure is questionable. The time, length and kind of survey, number and location of the wells to be tested, datum and other details may be determined by the operator subject to Commission approval.

(Source CO 8 ;.. ., Daniel T. Seamount, Jr., Commissioner AS 31.05.080 provides that within 20 days after receipt of written notice of the entry of an order, a person affected by it may file with the Commission an application for rehearing. A request for rehearing must be received by 4:30 PM Alaska standard time on the 23rd day following the date of the order, or next working day if a holiday or weekend, to be timely filed. The Commission shall grant or refuse the application in whole or in part within 10 days. The Commission can refuse an application by not acting on it within the 10-day period. An affected person has 30 days from the date the Commission refuses the application or mails (or otherwise distributes) an order upon rehearing, both being the final order of the Commission, to appeal the decision to Superior Court. Where a request for rehearing is denied by nonaction of the Commission, the 30-day period for appeal to Superior Court runs from the date on which the request is deemed denied (i.e., 10th day after the application for rehearing was filed).

Box 196168 Anchorage, AK 99519-6168 Telephone 907/561-5311 Fax 907/564-6489 October 21, 2003 Mr. Robert Crandall Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission 333 ih Street, Suite 100 Anchorage AK 99501 RE: Pool Definition of the Beluga Undefined Pool Kenai Gas Field, Alaska Dear Mr. Crandall: Marathon Oil Company (Marathon) herby respectfully requests that the Kenai Beluga Undefined Pool be define as the interval whose top is 4587' MD and whose base is 9155' MD in the KDU 1 well log (Attachment 1 and 2). The top of the newly defined pool would be coincident with the base of the Kenai Sterling Pool 6 and the base would be coincident with the top of the Kenai Deep Tyonek Pool. This definition formalizes the Undefined Pool and makes the productive intervals at Kenai consistent with the recently approved Bureau of Land Management Beluga I Upper Tyonek Commingled Participating Area (P A). The new P A combines the existing Beluga P A with the Upper Tyonek production that did not have a P A. The Tyonek D 1 Sand that was within the Deep Tyonek P A is now included in the new Beluga/Upper Tyonek PA. Combining these intervals (Beluga, Upper Tyonek and Tyonek Dl Sand) into a single P A allows for commingled production which will lead to better economical recovery of more gas reserves. Marathon will continue to operate under the established pool rules set up in Conservation Order 82 and amended by Conservation Order 175. Once the pool redefinition has been approved, Marathon will work with AOGCC to move production volume records from wells that have been incorrectly reported in the Kenai Tyonek Pool 1 to the newly defined pool records. Table 1 identifies all of the wells whose production belongs to the new pool. Wells that were incorrectly reported in the Kenai Tyonek Pool 1 are annotated.
