SHELL OIL COMPANY 430 7TH AVENUE ANCHORAGE. ALASKA 99507 July 7, 1966 Subject: Application for Exception To Spacing Regulations Well A-13-1 Middle Ground Shoal Field Alaska Oil & Gas Conservation Commission Division of Mines and Minerals 3001 Porcupine Drive Anchorage, Alaska Attention Mr. T. Ro Marshall, Jr. Gentlemen: On July 4, 1966, Shell Oil Company, as operator for itself, Atlantic Richfield Company, and Standard Oil Company of Califomnia, Western Operations, completed, as a dual producer, well A-13-1, Middle Ground Shoal Field, Kenai Borough, Alaska. The well was directionally drilled from leg 1 of Platform A to the Southwest quarter of Section 1, T8N-R13W, S.M. According to our directional survey, the upper interval is in violation of the 500 foot standback provision as set out in Section 2061.1 of the Oil and Gas Conservation Regulations. The top and bottom coordinates of the upper interval are (top) 1280' South and 380' East of the W/4 oorner of Section 1 and (bottom) 980' South and 600' East of the W/4 corner of Section 1o This condition can be attributed to the fact that the well was drilled directionally a great distance from the fixed platform and entered the productive formations at a high angle. The greater the well angle is from vertical, the longer will be the surface projection of the completion interval. In the case of A-13-1, the surface projection of the total completion interval is about 1000 feet long. Due to the aforementioned problem, we respectfully request the Commission to grant us an exception to Section 2061.1 of the regulations by allowing the upper interval to fall within 500 feet of the West line of Section 1, T8N, R13W, S.M. We would point out that all 160 acre tracts having a common side or corner with the SW/4 of said section 1 are jointly owned by the operator~ Atlantic Richfield, and Standard Oil Company of California. -2- The plat and affidavit required by Section 2061.4 of the regulations are enclosed herewith. If any further infomation is required, please advise us. TSC:m Yours very truly, T. So Cate Division Land Manager Enclosures T. 8 Po~SS ADL 17595 R S.M. 36 T8N- RI3W 2_ BOTTOM HOLE POSITION OF A-13.
