The Pan American Petroleum Corporation submitted a request' dated August 4, 1967 for an exception to the 500 foot governmental quarter section boundary offset provision of Section 2061.1 of the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Regulations, Title 11, AAC, for the directionally drilled'develop- ment well Granite Point "A" 18742 #7, to complete and produce from various intervals, some of which are closer than 500 feet to the west line of Section 6, T 10 N, R 11 W, SM. 2. The location of any of the producing intervals will not be closer than 1000' from the producing intervals of any other existing oil well. 3. Notice of hearing on the petition was.p~blished in the Anchorage Daily News on August 16, 1967, pursuant to Section 2012 of the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Regulations, but no protest for hearing was received. AND IT FURTHER APPEARING that after due consideration an exception to Section 2061.1 of the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Regulations permitting the Pan American Petroleum Corporation to complete and produce the Granite Point "A" 18742 less than 500 feet from the protracted section line should be granted because of the inherent difficulty of controlling the direction of deviation and the degree of deviation in the drilling of a well to an exact geographic location and because corrective measures are impractical. CONSERVATION ORDER #52 Page 2 September 7, 1967 NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the Pan American Petroleum Corp- oration be permitted to complete and produce the development well Granite Point "A" 18742 #7 at the applied for location.

III. It is impractical to take corrective measures to cause the well bore of Well No° 7 to encounter the first of the productive formations at a location 500 feet or more from the west line of the ~ quarter section upon which it is located° After Well No. 7 has been drilled~to total depth, however, the well will have encountered all productive formations-at a location within the quarter section upon which it was drilled and it will have all of its productive formations at a location more than 1,000 feet from the point at which Granite Point A 18742 Well No. ~ was completed in the same formation° . If an exception for Well Noo 7 is ~ranted, it will permit this well to be completed and produced as efficiently and economically from the quarter section upon which it is located as would a well at a location which will comply with Rule IV0 Well No0 4 and Well No. 7 either have been completed or will be pleted upon a lease owned by those persons on whose behalf this Application for an exception is filed° All of the quarter sections offsetting the quarter section upon which Well No. 4 and the quarter section upon which Well No. 7 are located are under lease to the persons on whose behalf this Application for an exception is filed° The lessees of all tracts within one (1) mile of the location at which Well No. 7 will be completed are the same persons on whose behalf this Application for an exception .is filed° All of the royalty in all tracts is owned by the State of Alaska. .The ~ranting of the exception cannot adversely affect the correlative rights of any person° Vo · There is attached hereto as Exhibit "A:' a plat drawn to scale of not smaller than 1" = 2~640~, accurately shOWing to scale Lease ADL 18742, the property for which the exception is sought~-and accurately showin§ to scale all other completed and drilling wells-on Lease ADL 18742 and accurately showing to scale all adjoining surrounding prope~ies and wells.
