No more than two completed oil wells shall be allowed in the Middle Kenai Pool on any governmental quarter section or governmental lot corresponding thereto. 2. No oil well may be completed closer than 1000 feet to any well drilled to or capable of producing from the M~iddle Kenai Pool and at a distance of less than 500 feet from a lease line where ownership changes. The subject well is to be drilled primarily as a joint Mobil-Union- Chakachatna (MUC) Middle Kenai zone water injection well. However, it will be produced to clean up the well until full scale water injection is initiated in February, 1970. The target location at 9450' M.D., which is the approximate mid-point of the Middle Kenai producing zone, is 600' east of the NW Corner of Section 13, TION, R12W, S.M. and the interval between the top of the Middle Kenai producing zone and total depth is programed to be within -2- the target area, as shown on the attached location plat. Although the well course is programmed to be farther than 1000' from existing producers, a portion of the target area is within 1000' of Granite Point State # 11-13. The target area, which will extend from 200' to 800' east of the west lines of Section 12 and 13 and 200' north and 200' south of the common lease line between Sections 12 and 13, has been app~oved by the operators involved. A copy of the final line agree~nent between the operators will be made available to the State Division of Oil & Gas upon its completion. The State of Alaska unleased tracts approximately two miles south and also two miles east of this proposed location a~e the nearest affected property to the subject Mobil-Pan American leases.
