surface location 2860' from the south line and 3991' from the east line of Section 13, T10N,
R12W, Seward Meridian (SM) to a bottom-hole location 69' from the north line and 2594'

AS 31.05.080 provides that within 20 days after receipt of written notice of the entry of an order, a person affected
by it may file with the Commission an application for rehearing. A request for rehearing must be received by
4:30 PM on the 23rd day following the date of the order, or next working day if a holiday or weekend, to be
timely filed. The Commission shall grant or refuse the application in whole or in part within 10 days. The
Commission can refuse an application by not acting on it within the 10-day period. An affected person has 30
days from the date the Commission refuses the application or mails (or otherwise distributes) an order upon
rehearing, both being the final order of the Commission, to appeal the decision to Superior Court. Where a
request for rehearing is denied by nonaction of the Commission, the 30-day period for appeal to Superior Court
runs from the date on which the request is deemed denied (i.e., 10th day after the application for rehearing was
filed).

Re:

Unocal by letter dated January 31, 1996 has requested an exception to the

Conservation Order No. 76 for the drilling of a development oil well to the Middle
