Commission Anchorage BP EXPLORATION To: From: Date: Subject: Bob Crandall, AOGCC Joe Polya, Prudhoe Bay Drilling May 17, 1994 Application for Spacing Exception to change the bottom hole location of the Milne Point C-22 Well (20 AAC 25.055) The MPC-22 well will be a horizontal well drilled into the Sag River Formation within the Milne Point Unit Boundaries. Since a pool agreement for the Sag River Reservoir within the Milne Point Unit does not exist, BP is requesting a spacing exception for this well. Also, the A-1 exploritory well was drilled into this same Section 23; however, the Sag was plugged and abandoned in that well. The MPC-22 well is planned to enter the Sag River formation at 4700' FSL and 4000' FEL in Section 23; T13N, R10E. The end point is planned at 2600' FSL and 2930' FEL of Sec 23, T13N, R10E. Therefore the well path crosses the quarter section line adjoining the North and South quarter sections of Section 23 and ends up 40' south and 290' east of the SW 1/4 Section line. The quarter sections directly and diagonally offsetting this quarter section are owned and/or operated by: BP E&O 64.38% BPX 26.81% Oxy 8.81% Please direct any questions to Joe Polya @ 564-5713.
