Marshall, Jr. Gentlemen: APPLICATION FOR SPACE EXCEPTION UNION OIL OPERATOR TRADING BAY A-3 TRADING BAY FIE.LD, ALASKA Union Oil Company of California, as operator for the above well, herein makes application for spacing exception on the Trading Bay A-3 well pur- suant to Section 2061.1 of the State of Alaska Oil and Gas conservation Regulations dated July 1964. The requested exception is needed to con- duct testing for oil and gas in the Kenai sands from a measured depth of 3000 feet to a measured depth of 2100 feet. The testing in this well within those depths will be conducted within the 500 foot boundary area of the southwest governmental quarter section, Section 3, T9N R13W SBM. The Trading Bay A-3 well is drilling from the Trading Bay Platform in an easterly direction and a plot of the well course and proposed testing intervals are indicated on the attached plat map and electric log. The Union Oil Company of California and Marathon Oil Company are the lessees of the contiguous southeast governmental quarter section in Section 4, the only lands affected by this exception. The testing in this well over the above interval is being conducted to de- termine the intervals necessary for completion from the shallow Kenai sands and at the time we determine the final completion, we will file a sundry notice for change of plans on the Trading Bay A-3 well with the Division of Mines and Minerals. We would appreciate early approval of this applica- tion for spacing exception and if there is additional data that we can furnish, plea se let us know. Sincerely yours, E. D. B. Laudeman encs.
