The proposed completion in the subject well will be approximately 2200 feet from the Beluga sand completion in the Kenai Unit KU No. 14-6 well. 5. None of the gas bearing sands in the upper, middle and lower Beluga Formation are currently defined as gas pools. · The proposed location for the subject well will be at the apex of the structures as contoured on both the middle and lower Beluga Formation levels. · The subject well will attempt to develop the gas sands far enough above the gas-water contact so that the high rates of water production that are prevalent in other shut-in middle and lower Beluga wells will not be a problem. · The Kenai Unit KBU NO. 31-7 well has an excellent chance of encountering additional sand development and thus increasing the reserves in the Kenai Gas Field. 9. Notice of the application was published in the Anchorage Daily News on June 28, 1979. 10. There were no protests to the application. FINDING: The Kenai Gas Field has a great number of defined and undefined gas-bearing sands. There have been a sufficient number of wells drilled to adequately define the structure at various stratigraphic levels. The well data indicates that the various sands thicken and thin in short distances. The proposed well is to be drilled at the optimum structural position and may encounter thicker gas-bearing sands. CONCL US ION: The requested exception to Title 11, Alaska Administrative Code, Section 22.055(a)(3) will not decrease the ultimate recovery of gas in the Kenai Field, could increase the recoverable reserves in the field and correlative rights are adequately protected in the Kenai Unit. NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED THAT: The Kenai Unit KBU No. 31-7 well may be completed and produced at the proposed location in Section 7, T4N, RllW, S.M. DONE at Anchorage, Alaska and dated July 13, 1979. hoy~ H.

Loc.: 185'S, 4303'E of the NW cr, Sec 7, T4N, RllW SM. Bottomhole Loc.: Same as above Mr. Robert T. Anderson Distric.t Land Manager Union Oil Company of California P. O. Box 6247 Anchorage, Alaska 99502 Dear Mr. Anderson: Enclosed is the approved application for permit to drill the above referenced well which replaces the 'permit issued for. the Kenai Beluga Unit No. 31-7 well. Since a conservation order (C.O. No. 157) was issued for the Kenai Beluga Unit No. 31-7 well, the change of plans to drill the Kenai Beluga Unit No. 41-7 well instead requires the Commission to declare Conservation Order No. 157 null and void. This well may be drilled at the operator's risk but the perforation and/or completion is subject to the consideration of the Commission and the issuance of a conservation order. The reason for this is that our rec~ords indicate that if the KBU No. 41-7 well is completed in the Beluga sands there will be an interval of less 'than 3000' from the Kenai Beluga Unit No. 13-8 well. In addition, if the well is completed in the Tyonek Sands, it will be less than 3000' from both the Kenai Deep Unit No.. 1 well'and the Kenai Deep Unit No. 2 well. Core chips are required. A directional survey is not required. If available, a tape containing the digitized log information on all logs shall be submitted for copying except experimental logs, velocity surveys and dipmeter surveys. Mr. Robert T. Anderson Kenai Beluga Unit KBU 41-7 December 11, 1979 Many rivers in Alaska and their drainage systems have been classified as important for the spawning or migration of anadromous fish. Operations in these areas are subject to AS 16.50.870 and the regulations promulgated thereunder (Title 5, Alaska Administrative Code). Prior to commencing operations you may be contacted by the Habitat Coordinator's office, Department of Fish and Game. ~a~e is prohibited by AS 46, Pollution of any waters of the S~ ~ Chapter 3, Article 7 and the regulations promulgated thereunder (Title 18, Alaska Administrative Code, Chapter 70) and by the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, as amended. Prior to commencing operations you may be contacted by a representative of the Department of Environmental Conservation. Pursuant to AS 38.40, Local Hire Under State Leases, the Alaska Department of Labor is being notified of the issuance of this permit to drill. To aid us in 'scheduling field work, we would appreciate your notifying this office within 48 hours after the well is spudded. We would also like to be notified so that a repre- sentative of the commission may be present to witness testing of blowout preventer equipment before surface casing shoe is drilled. In the event of suspension or abandonment, please give this office adequate advance notification so that we may have a witness Present. Very truly yours, Hoyle H.

The drilling program for this well has been altered. A Sundry Notice will be submitted changing the well number from KBU No. 31-7 to KBU No. 41-7 and it will be drilled as a straight hole. We, therefore, request that Conservation Order 157 be voided. The KBU No. 41-7 drilling program will allow optimum formation coring and reduced well cost.

Notice is hereby given that Union Oil Company of California has requested the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission to issue an order granting an exception for the minimum distance of 3,000 feet between completions requirement of the referenced regulation. The operator states that the Kenai Unit KU No. 14-6 well is completed in the Beluga reservoir and will be 2,200 feet from the Upper and Middle Beluga sands which are proposed to be completed in the referenced well. The operator further states that the referenced well will be located at the apex of the Beluga structure in the Kenai Gas Field and will have the poten- tial for developing additional reserves. Parties who may be aggrieved if the referenced order is issued are allowed 10 days from the date of this publication in which to file a protest and a request for a hearing. The place of filing is the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation COmmission, 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 10:00 AM on July 12, 1979 at which time protestants and others may be heard. If no such protest is timely filed, the Commission will consider the issuance of the order without a hearing. Harry W.

KU 14-6, completed in the Beluga, lies 2200' from the proposed KBU 31-7 well completion. Our objective is to more fully develop reservoir gas sands in the Middle and Lower Beluga Formations which are presently undefined. Currently no wells are producing from these zones. These intervals tested gas but produced high rates of water in KBU 13-8. The proposed location of KBU 31-7 is at the apex of the Kenai Field structure at the Middle and Lower Beluga level. Therefore, water production should be minimal. Also the potential for additional sand development is excellent. KBU 31-7 will not only increase deliverability, but will also help confirm and develop Middle and Lower Beluga reserves. By copy hereof, we are notifying the affected companies in the Kenai Unit. For your reference, we attach hereto a location plat in triplicate. If any additional information is needed in this matter, please advise us.
