R. Marshall Dear Sirs: Attached herewith for your approval is our application to drill a Middle Ground Shoal field development well, Shell-Richfield- Standard Middle Ground Shoal State A 1-3. This is our first well to be drilled from Platform A and is designed as a straight hole. As shown on the attached plat the well will be spudded from conductor 3, leg 1, of our platform and as such the bottom hole location of the well will be within 500' of a section line. This location was necessitated by the fact that inlet bottom conditions and water depth required the construction of the platform at this site. Although the well will be drilled within 500' of a section line, it is so located on State of Alaska Lease ADL 18754, jointly held by Shell Oil Company, Richfield Oil Corporation, and Standard Oil Company of California, that no other lessees are affected within 4800 feet of the well. The undersigned, being acquainted with the facts and having this report prepared under his direction and supervision, states that all facts therein stated are within the knowledge of the affiant true, that the accompanying plat is accurately drawn to scale and correctly reflects pertinent and required data. The applicant is hereby applying for an exception to the State of Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Regulations to allow the subject well to be drilled within 500 feet of a section line. Very truly yours, EBM:m Attachments i~%~ Production Manager
