ALASKA October 18, 1961 State of Alaska Division of Mines and Minerals Anchorage, Alaska Gentlemen: We request permission to stake a location to be known as the Chuit State Well No~ 1, 2,500 feet'north and 850 feet east of the SW carner of Section 8, Township l2N, Range llW, Seward Basin Meridian. This location will fall 140 feet from the north boundary of the SW quarter section. The best location geologically would be located in a muskeg area, with over 6 feet of muskeg above solid ground. By moving the location within l~O f~et of the north boundary of the SW quarter sed:i.on, the muskeg thickness is only 5 feet. This would be a much cheaper location to prepare and offer a firmer foundation for a drilling rig, resulting in safer operations for men and equipment. Yours truly, ~~K~,.~ ~ ~J~h-V. LeBlanc JVL : nj ~ rTES ,S HEAR ING .8) 1961 :ed By ~ception to Section 2061.1 ,of ration Regulations, Title 11 AACo On October 18, 1961 at 10:00 A.M. in the Division of Mines and Minerals' Building, 329 2nd Avenue, Anchorage, Alaska, a public hearing was held at the petition of The Superior Oil Company wherein an exception to Section 2061.1 of the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Regulations was requested for the exploratory well Chuit-State No.1 proposed to be located 2500 feet north and 850 west of the southwest corner of Section 8, T12N, RI1W, Seward Meridian. Mr. Donald D. Bruce, Chief, Petroleum Branch, called the hearing to order, introduced the other two members of the Alaska Oil and Gas Committee: Mr. Richard Bradley, Department of Law and Mr. Richard V. Murphy, State Petroleum Engineer, and read the hearing notice published in the Anchorage News on October 7, 1961. Mr. Bruce stated an emergency order had been issued on October 6, 1961 ' permitting The Superior Oil Company to construct the drilling site for the Chuit-State No.1 as requested. Mr. Joseph V. LeBlanc, Petroleum Engineer, The Superior Oil Company, made the presentation requesting an exception to Section 2061.10 He read the following letter dated October 18, 1961: "We request permission to stake a location to be known as the Chuit State Well No. f, 2,500 feet north and 850 feet east of the SW corner of Section 8, Township l2N, Range llW, Seward Basin Meridian. This location will fall 140 feet from the north boundary of the SW quarter section. The bes.t location geologically would be located in a muskeg area, with over 6 feet of muskeg above solid ground. By moving the location within 140 feet of the north boundary of the SW quarter Section, the muskeg thickness is only 5 feet. This would be a much cheaper location to prepare and offer a firmer foundation for a drilling rigt resulting in safer operations for men and equipment.1t Mr. M. H. Soyster, Regional Oil and Gas Supervisor, USGS, asked Mr,. LeBlanc how the muskeg depths were determined. Mr. LeBlanc answered that the site building contractor had driven stakes until resistance was met. Mr. Murphy asked Mr,. LeBlanc if the operator intended to whipstock to the originally planned bottom hole location. Mr. LeBlanc replied that the operator did not. Mr. t~il1iam Binkley, Geologist, Superior Oil Company, stated that whipstocking would not be necessary as the proposed well site was on the apex of the anticline as was the originally proposed well site. Mr. Bruce asked for further comment, and there being none, adjourned the hearing. Attending the hearing were: Mo H.
