The proposed well location for the subject well is 13' FSL, 700' FEL, SE/4-SE/4 Sec. 17, T20N,R19W in order to accomodate correlation with seizmic lines. Currently there is one plugged and abandoned well and one 'temporarily abandoned well in the Walakpa Field. The North Slope Borough owns the minerals withi'n a minimum of a two mile radius of the proposed wells, 'thus correlative rights are not an issue.
