The reason for requesting deviation from Section 2061.1 of the ~tate of Alaska Administrative Code~ Title II~ Division 2, Chapter l, bubchapter 2 is based solely on the fact that considerable expense would be involved to pull up anchors and reposition our location 500' or more adjacent from the section line. It is estimated that an expenditure of $85,000 would be required to carry out such a measure which would not be otherwise incurred if we are allowed to remain at the designated location. In support of our application for emergency exception to ' Section 2061.1 of 'the 0il and Gas Regulations, we submit the following infom~at ion: 1. Names of lessees in radius of one mile - None. 2. Plat in quadruplicate drawn in scale 1" ~ 1 Mile. Inasmuch as all surrounding area is water, we trust the l" ~ i Mile is sufficient and a scale of l" = 26.40' will not be necessary. It is respectfully requested the location as designated herein be approved as herein stated and if production is obtained, production restrictions will not be imposed due to the boundaries of the lo cat ion.

Natural Resource~ Gentlemen: Upon final submission of coordinates by our surveyor for Cook Inlet ~l, a change of location is required. By our letter dated June 6, 1962, we have notified you of this change. Inasmuch as the new location results in our being closer than 500' to a section line, Pan American Petroleum Corporation requests emergency exception in order to continue its drilling operations upon a tract of tideland located 893.5' east of the west line and 704.2' north of the south line~ Section 6, TllNs RgN'. The reason for requesting deviation from Section 2061.1, State of Alaska Administrative Code~ Title IIs Division 2, Chapter l, Subchapter 2, is based solely on the fact considerable expense would be involved to pull up anchors and reposition our location 500' or more adjacent from the section line. As you recall, Shell 0il Company experienced approximately two weeks delay in anchoring their facilities and if we are requested to reposition, a similar delay in setting our anchors could occur. A delay of two weeks would result in an expenditure of $85,000 which would otherwise not be incurred. Attached are two copies of a legal survey supporting our original application to drill and. our request at this time. It is respectfully requested an emergency exception to existing regulations be granted. Very truly yours, PAN' A~RI CAN PETROLEUM CORPORATION C. A. Rector Area Foreman J $~c: lng Attach.
