McIntyre No. P2-50 well closer than 500 feet to a quarter section line. . Notice of hearing was published in the Anchorage Daily News and the Anchorage Times on February 12, 1992 pursuant to 20 ACC 25.540 and in the Alaska Administrative Journal on February 17, 1992. 3. One protest to the application was received February 27, 1992· 4. The protest was deemed improper and denied. FINDINGS: I · The ARCO Pt. McIntyre No. P2-50 well as proposed will be directionally drilled from a surface location 495 feet from the north line (FNL), 1256 feet from the west line (FWL) of Section 14, T12N, R14E, Umiat Meridian to a bottom-hole location 1569 feet FNL, 439 feet FWL, Section 19, T12N, R15E, Umiat Meridian. · Offset operators/owners Exxon Corporation and BP Exploration (Alaska) Inc. have been duly notified. Conservation Orde( .qo. 293 March 20, 1992 Page 2 . An exception to 20 AAC 25.055(a)(3) is necessary to allow drilling of the well. CONCLUSION: Granting a spacing exception to allow drilling of the ARCO Pt. McIntyre No. P2-50 well as proposed will not result in waste nor jeopardize correlative rights. NOW, THEREFORE IT IS ORDERED: ARCO Alaska, Inc.'s application for an exception to 20 AAC 25.055 for the purpose of drilling the Pt. McIntyre No. P2-50 well is approved as proposed.

P. O. Box 131 Fairbanks, Alaska 99707 Dear Mr. Burglin: The commission has received your correspondence of February 27, 1992 requesting hearings in the matters of ARCO Pt. McIntyre wells 2-49, 2-50 and 2-56. After reviewing ARCO's applications and your protest, the commission perceives no harm to any interests on ADL leases 34622 nor 34623 from granting the spacing exceptions. The proposed targets for all of these wells exceeds the 500 foot standoff from the aforementioned leases as required by regulation and therefore correlative rights are protected. Therefore the ,commission hereby denies your request for hearings regarding ARCO's applications for spacing exceptions for Pt. McIntyre wells 2-49, 2-50 and 2-56. Should you have additional evidence to show actual harm, please contact the commission within 24 hours for reconsideration of this decision.
