We,ll No. E-6
Ma y 25, 1 976
1. The Atlantic Richfield Company submitted the referenced applica-
tion dated April 20, 1976.
2. The pay in the referenced deviated well is approximately 1800
feet from the closest point of the pay in the E-2 well. The
referenced order requires a minimum of 2000 feet between wells
to any pay in the same pool opened to the well bore of another
well .
3. Directional control problems were encountered which resulted
in the hole not reaching the planned objective.
4. Both wells are owned by the same operator.
5. The bottom hole location of the E-6 well is 3069 feet south of
the north line and 2336 feet west of the east line at Section 6,
Township llN, Range 14E, U.P.M.
6. Notice of hearing on this request was published in the Anchorage
Daily News on April 30, 1976 pursuant to Title 11, Alaska
Administrative Code, Section 22.540, and no protest was received.
FINDINGS:
1. It is necessary to complete the referenced well less than 2000
feet from another completion in the same pool in order to utilize
an existing well bore.
CONCLUSION:
1. Granting the applicant's request will not result in waste or
impair correlative rights of affected parties.
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS' ORDERED THAT:
The Atlantic Richfield Company may complete the E-6 well approximately
1800 feet from the E-2 well.

Re: Prudhoe Bay Field
Prudhoe Oil Pool
Atlantic Richfield Company
Well No. E-6
Notice is hereby given that an application was received from the Atlantic
Richfield Company on April 20, 1976 requesting an exception to Rule 2
of Conservation Order No. 130 which states in part II. . . nor shall any
pay opened to the well bore. . . be closer than 2,000 feet to any pay
in the same pool opened to the well bore of another well II.
The operator states that while drilling the subject well, directional
control problems were encountered and, as a result, the subject well
bottomed approximately 1,800 feet from the bottom of the operator's Prudhoe
Bay No. E-2 well. At the top of the Sag River sandstone in the Prudhoe
Oil Pool the two wells are 1,700 feet apart. The exception is requested
so that the subject well can be perforated.
Parties who may be aggrieved if the requested order is issued are allowed
10 days from the date of this publication in which to file a protest and
request for hearing. Place of filing is 3001 Porcupine Drive, Anchorage,
Alaska 99501. If such a protest is timely filed, a hearing on the matter
will be held at the above address at 9:00 AM, May 12, 1976 at which time
protestants and others may be heard. If no such protest is timely filed,
the Committee wil consider the issuance of the order without a hearing.

Subject: E-6 (33-06-11-14)
Permit No. 76-23
Dear Sir:
Enclosed is Form 10-403, Sundry Notices and Reports on
Wells, containing our proposal to re-enter Well E.....6
for completion.
Perforating of this well would result in a violation of
the Prudhoe Bay Field Rules, Rule 2 of Conservation Order
No.. 130, which states, "... nor shall any pay opened to the
well J:x>re... be closer than 2,000 feet to any pay in the
same pool opened to well rore of another well."
At 8,800' subsea, this well is 1,802 feet from the 8,800'
subsea depth in Well E-2 (34-06-11-14) as per ~1e gyro-
scopic surveys of each well. At the top of the Sag River
Sandstone, the two. wells are 1,700 feet apart.
A request is hereby made, concurrently with the submittal
of the attached Sundry Notice, to obtain an exception to
Rule 2. We request approval of the attached Sundry Notice
at this time and would like to have the request for the
exception started. We understand that an exception to
Rule 2, noted aJ::cve, will require that this be given,
public notice.

As shown on the Application for Permit to Drill E-6 compared
to the Completion Report for E- 2, the tV'P wells were intended
to be greater than 2,000 feet apart; however, during the
course of directional drilling WellE-6 circumstances arose
causing the pro:¡;x::>sed subsurface target to be missed. 'lb the
best of our knowledge, this well is the only ~ll in the
BP....operated portion of the field to be in violation of Rule 2;
therefore, we feel that the purposes of the spacing rule WJuld
not be contravened if an exception is granted.
Very truly yours,
(!e~
