There were no protests to the application. FINDING: The Prudhoe Bay Unit No. R-2 well was drilled to a measured depth of 10,303 feet but the actual bottom hole location was about 400 feet southwest of the proposed bottom hole location. There is gas and oil in the Sadlerochit Formation which is part of the Prudhoe Oil Pool. CONCLUSION: The requested exception to Rule 2 of Conservation Order No. 145 will not affect the ultimate recovery of oil and gas from the Prudhoe Oil Pool and correlative rights are adequately protected in the Prudhoe Bay Unit. NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED THAT: The Prudhoe Bay Unit No. R-2 well may be perforated, completed and produced from the Prudhoe Oil Pool at the location now existing. Done at Anchorage, Alaska and dated December 6, 1979. L~'nnie C.

Hamilton Re: Wells R-1 (44-31-12-13); R-2 (33-31-112-13); .an~~ Gentlemen: TErEPEIONE (907)265-0000 ANCHORAGE, ALASKA 99502 . ', (41-31-12-13) Please find attached, in triplicate, Form 10-403, Sundry Notices and Reports on Wells, containing our proposal to perforate Wells R-l, R-2, and R-3 for production. Perforating of Well R-2 would result in a violation of the Prudhoe Bay Field Rules, ~'--/'~~ of Conservation Order No. 130, which states, "...nor shall any pay opened to the well bore...be closer than 2.000 feet to any pay 'in the same pool opened to well bore of another well." At the deepest (closest) perforations, the well is 1968 feet from a similar point in Well M-4 (23-31-12-13) as per the gyroscopic surveys of each well. As shown on the Application for Permit to Drill R-2 compared to the Completion Report for Well M-4, the two wells were in- tended to be greater than 2000 feet apart; however, during the course of directional drilling Well R-2, circumstances arose causing the ~ ~. 'proposed subsurface target to be missed. We would like to apply for an exception to the footage spacing re- quirements of Rule 2 of Conservation Order No. 130 to permit the perforation of Well R-2 approximately 1970 feet from Well M-4 in order to utiliz~"an ex"Sting well bore. GJP :MJS :m lb cc: Mike Smith A. E. Leske Drilling File CC# 16,834 Notice of Public Hearing STATE OF ALASKA Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission Conservation File No. 160 Re: The application of Sohio Petroleum Company, dated November 15, 1979, for an order granting an exception to Rule 2 of Con- servation Order No. 145 to permit the perforating of the Prudhoe Bay Unit No. R-2 well at a distance of approximately 1970 feet from the pay opened in the well bore of the Prud- hoe Bay Unit No. M-4 well. Notice is hereby given that Sohio Petroleum Company has requested the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission to issue an order granting an exception for the referenced well from Rule 2 of Conservation Order No. 145 which requires a minimum distance of 2000 feet between any pay opened to the well bore in the Prudhoe Oil Pool. Due to circumstances that arose during the directional drilling of the referenced well, the proposed subsur- face target was missed. In order to utilize the existing well bore, Sohio Petroleum Company requests an order permitting the well to be perforated at a distance of approximately 1970 feet from the Prudhoe Bay Unit No. M-4 well. The subsurface locations of the two wells are Section 31, T12N, R13E, Umiat Meridian. 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 9:00 AM on December 6, 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. Kug Commis s ioner Alaska Oil & Gas Conservation Commission
