No protests to the application were received. FINDINGS: · The existing wellbore intersects the zones of interest starting in Section 31 and proceeding into Section 30 of TllN, RllW, Seward Meridian. · The existing wellbore is more than 1 mile from a change in ownership of oil and gas rights. · Pool rules have not been established which govern well spacing for the prOjected gas bearing strata. · An exception is necessary to achieve compliance with 20 AAC 25.055(a)(2) and (4). Conservation OratOr No. 240 March 8, 1989 Page 2 CONCLUS ION: Granting a spacing exception to allow re-entry of the Granite Point 17587 #4 well as proposed will not result in waste nor jeopardize correlative rights. NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED: Amoco Production Company's application for an exception to 20 AAC 25. 055 for the purpose of re-entering and testing the Granite Point 17587 #4 well is approved as proposed.

Conservation Order No. 240, dated March 8, 1989, approved an exception to 20 A AC 25.055 for the purpose of re-entering and testing the Granite Point 17587 No. 4 in the Beluga and Tyonek formations. By application dated May 9, 1989, Amoco Production Company re~lested similar relief for Granite Point 17587 Well No. 5. This application was necessitated due to the unacceptable mechanical conditions found in Well No. 4 which eliminated Well No. 4 as the optimal candidate for testing the Beluga and Tyonek formations. We, therefore, respectfully request that Conservation Order No. 240 be rescinded concurrent with such relief that may be granted by virtue of our May 9, 1989 application.

Box 800 Denver, Colorado 802~ 303-830-4040 · Amoco Production Company COMM -b-O-M--M--- SR ENG i I i GEOL ASSTJ I Amoco Production Company hereby files an application for an exception to the requirements of Commission's Rule 20AAC25.055 for the Granite Point State 17587 Well No. 4. Pursuant to the Commission's rules, we are enclosing, as part of this application, the required plat and a Verification and Affidavit of Mailing. Amoco Production Company spudded the subject well in December 1966 as a test to the Kenai formation. Due to mechanical problems, this well was subsequently plugged and abandoned in May' 1967. Prior to abandonment, this well was cased to a measured depth of 8,880 feet. Amoco now desires to utilize this wellbore for a cost effective test of the Beluga and Tyonek formations. The tops of the Beluga. and Tyonek formations are found at measured depths of approximately 4730 feet and 7680 feet, respectively. Due to the deviated nature of this wellbore, the wellpath at these depths crosses from Section 31-TllN-RllW, S.M. into Section 30-TllN-RllW, S.M. Inasmuch as we would anticipate that these formations, if productive, would be productive of gas, an exception to the setback requirements of 20AAC25.055 is required. Specifically', the setback requirements of 20AAC25.055 provide that in the absence of special pool rules, exploratory gas wells shall not be closer than 1500 feet from the property boundary, where the property is considered a governmental section. As shown on the enclosed plat , the zones of interest would be found in the interval of approximately 430' FSL of Section 30 to 1880' FNL of Section 31. A directional survey of this well was provided as an attachment to the Well Completion Report dated June 6, 1967. In support of this application, Amoco would state: E C 'E IV, E'D ;¥1aska. ,Oil,.& Bas Cons',, Commissio[i Alaska Oil and(~as Conservation Commissio~~ February 9, 1989 Page 2 1) 2) 3) 4) The working interest and royalty interest ownership is common between Sections 30 and 31 of TllN-RllW, $.M.; Utilization of the State 17587 Well No. 4 is the most cost effective method to test the Beluga and Tyonek formations for commercial gas production; The anticipated completion intervals are not closer than 1,500 feet to any property boundary that would have working interest or royalty interest different than that found in Sections 30 and 31; The granting of this application would prevent waste and protect correlative rights. Amoco Production Company respectfully requests that the Commission provide published notice of this matter and that if no protest and request for hearing is made within the specified time, and the Commission is in agreement with this request, a favorable order without hearing be issued.
