Executive Secretary Alaska Oil & Gas Conservation Committee 3001 Porcupine Drive Anchorage, Alaska Re: LOCATION EXCEPTION KOOKPUK NO. 1 ARCTIC SLOPE, ALASKA Dear Mr. Marshall: Pursuant to Section 2061 of the Alaska Oil and Gas Regulations, Union Oil Company of California as Operator for itself, BP (Alaska), and Sinclair hereby requests that the Committee issue an order permitting Union to drill the Kook- puk No. 1 as an oil well on the Arctic Slope at a location 300 feet east of the west line and 2300 feet north of the south line of Block 4, Tl lN., RTE., UPM. Inasmuch as the location is within 500 feet of a tract boundary, this requested order would be an exception as contemplated under Article 2061. The surface of the land lying eastward from the location is covered by Swamp, consequently, the conditions are not desirable for a reasonable location. Union's right to drill this well is derived from and through the leasehold rights of BP (Alaska) and Sinclair. BP and Sinclair are the leasehold owners on both sides of the tract line, therefore, no collateral rights would be affected by the issuance of the exception order. The attached plat accurately indicates~, to scale the property for which the excep- tion is sought, the absence of any well on said property and all adjoining prop- erties. The undersigned hereby verfies that he is acquainted with all the facts contained FORM 401 ANC {REV. 3/66} i ECEiVED NOV 2 z 1966 DIVISION Of: MINE,S & M!N~ALS ANCHORAGE Mr. Thomas R.
